      <title>Tax Season is over; Now What?</title>
      <link>https://blog.lotpop.com/the-up-bus-newsletter/now-what</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Most folks in the auto industry believe that "tax season" is over for them. Yes, there are a few more shoppers in the market now than at the end of 2023, but the peak is now past us. Hopefully, you got a boost in sales during this period. If you didn't, it is time to evaluate why. If you DID get that boost, what do we do now to get our share of the shoppers still in the market?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt;</description>
