Using Social Media For Car Dealer MarCom Strategy

 


Social media changed the way we receive information, and while a few can debate that there really is no need for a press release, the press release is still the best way to get your message out. Now, how can you utilize Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms for your press release needs? 

Keep these factors in mind.

  • Know Your Audience: Remember that social media platforms have a broad audience, so you want to make sure you are focusing on bloggers and influencers.

  • Showcase Your Website: Make sure you are prompting readers to head over to your company's website, that way they will learn more about your product.

  • Make Sure Your Content is Shareable: Social media is all about shareable conversations. Make sure you steer away from marketing lingo that only a selective few will understand.

Leads That Result in “No Response”


Is there anything more frustrating than to have your phone chirp with a text notification reading "Please contact me ASAP about your 2014 Accord,"dialing their number 15 seconds later, and they don't answer?


So then you send a text, no response. You call a few hours later, shoot a couple more text messages, and still no response. 

It's easy for customers to shop however they want, but it sure can be difficult for dealers to actually connect with them. Why is that? Is it really just lead quality or response time?

Whether you're an owner, manager, salesperson or anything in between you know this happens, but you already have so much on your plate that finding the time to tackle an issue like this can be nearly impossible. 

Here's the thing, it's not realistic to think that "one day" you will have the time to figure it out. That day never comes. There's just too much to do in today's dealership! 

— The good news? Here at iPD we are the best in the business when it comes to connecting your customers to you.

What is Nationalism?

Nationalism is exemplified by loyalty and devotion to a nation.
Especially, a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others. 

In practice, Nationalism places primary emphasis on promotion of its own culture and interests as opposed to, and above those of other nations or groups. Intense nationalism has been one of the primary causes of several major wars and military actions.
