Social Media Starts with Facebook, BUT IT CAN’T END THERE!Social Media could be the most important influence on your dealership’s sales since the advent of the internet itself. When you think social media, do your thoughts stop at

Facebook, or how many Likes you may have on your page? If so, you’re missing the real advantages this medium has to offer. Your Social Media program needs to support

your brand, engage your customers, define your persona, enhance your SEO and support your all your marketing efforts. Does yours?

you have an opportunity to create a positive impression, express an opinion, or become the authoritative

source to the question they seek.

Social Media Engagement Contests, Sweepstakes, Events and Cross Promotion with other local businesses we can bring the community together around your dealership,

ultimately bringing more customers to your website and your showroom. Social media is your soap box. Leverage it. Share. Support. Have conversation.

Mostly, make your space fun, give your fans and followers a reason, to keep checking-in and coming back. Remember, its a social community, good news

travels fast, bad news travels faster. Participate in the conversation and eventually become the thought leader.

Contests & Sweepstakes

Each quarter we’ll come up with a new contest or

sweepstakes involving your social media fans and

followers. As word of the contest grows more and

more locals will join in, reinforcing your dealership’s

place as an active and fun part of the community.

PR & Community Involvement

Cross-promoting with other local businesses is a

great way to get noticed and bring more fans to your

social media accounts. Not only could it lead to new

business opportunities, it will also help your dealer-

ship reach a wider range of potential customers.

Events

While participating in community events is a great

way to get noticed, your dealership provides a great

space for the community to come to you. Hosting

events like car shows or new vehicle sneak peeks will

get people into your showroom and, thanks to social

media, getting the word out has never been easier!

Expand Your Reach

The number of active Facebook users is higher than any other social media platform.

When users interact with your page by ‘liking’ or commenting on one of your posts, or

creating their own post on your pages’ time line, that activity is shared on their news

feed for all of their friends and followers, or potential new customers, to see!

Social Reputation Building Your Facebook page builds a persona for your dealership. Your followers look to you

as a source of information. By posting your own questions and engaging users in

conversations, or by joining in on someone else’s conversation you establish yourself

as an active member in the virtual community.

What We Offer

Daily Content Development, News Feed Monitoring

Create Events to Promote Dealership & Community Events

Daily Off Page Interactions

Leverage Facebook to Share Website, Blog, &

Other Relevant Content

Facebook

Your Facebook page helps create a unique identity for your dealership & is a great way to engage and interact with current and potential customers.

Facebook is without a doubt the biggest social media platform! Facebook has over 845 million users who on average spend about 405 minutes per

month using it. This is a great venue to promote service specials, new vehicle releases & dealership events. The majority of our Facebook audience is

female so some content is slanted to keep that audience engaged, as they are a large part of the purchase decision making process in the household.

70% of Facebook users are

women. Your content

needs to reflect that.

From Pin to PurchasePinterest users reported a surprisingly high correlation between pinning and sub-sequent purchasing: more than 1 in 5 Pinterest users have pinned an item that they later purchased. Given women make up 90% of Pinterest users in the United States, and women have the greatest amount of unease about entering a car dealership, the opportunity to offset those fears, and actually let them spread the word about your store is greatly increased. Eventually having the confidence to feel comfortable in your showroom is invaluable.

SEO Rich Content

Pinterest content is very searchable on Google’s search engine. By effectively

using SEO terms and linking back to your website with related content you can fur-

ther establish your page one presence on Google search.

Pinterest

Pinterest surged into the spotlight earlier this year when it was revealed that it drives more web traffic than You Tube, Google+ and Linked In combined!

What’s so compelling about a social site that lets you make virtual bulletin boards of “pinned” images? Perhaps it’s the viral nature of the medium,

perhaps it’s the visual ease that allows users to scan a high volume of content. In any case it works. It drives traffic & it drives sales!

80% Pinterest is so viral that 80%

of Pins are Re-Pins.

Pin Dealers-Pin!

What We Offer

Multiple Pins and Re-Pins Daily

All Original Content Pinned

Pins to Cars on the Lot

Pins to Service Specials & Coupons

Twitter Users are Young, Smart, Affluent & Tech-Savvy

While there is no doubt Twitter can’t compete with the reach of Facebook, its users

make up a very desirable demographic. A demographic that demands attention, con-

versation and definitely has something to say. The conversation happening on Twitter

shouldn’t be overlooked. After all 42% of dealerships on Twitter report attaining a

customer as a result.

SEO Rich Content

brand(s), the local community and enthusiasts’ interests will be sent out daily, along

Mentions and re-tweets will keep new followers rolling in while your dealership’s current offers and specials gain a broader audience. Twitter users are

more affluent, more educated, and early adopters. 1/3 of them are between the ages of 25 & 34...sound like a desirable demographic?

Bridge the Gap

Video can take people places without them ever having to leave their home. Imagine

how comfortable your customers will be with the service team having seen your fa-

cilities and employees in action before setting foot in the dealership. Videos can also

be used to show off cars recently added to your inventory and new vehicle features.

Google Loves YouTube

YouTube is a key to dominating search. Google loves to rank video, and display

them prominently. How large is your library? Do you shoot video of everything? Is it

tagged? Do your titles reflect and support your keyword strategy? They should and

will with our help.

You Tube

With over 800 Million unique visitors each month, video reviews and previews that show off new cars, new features and tips & tricks can create massive

buzz surrounding your dealership. If we’ve learned anything from television it’s that nothing can keep a person’s attention as long as a well planned and

executed video. The more videos you have on your YouTube channel the longer your customers can stay engaged with YOUR content!

#2 You Tube is the second

largest search engine

in the world.

Increase SEO Value

Since Google+ is a Google property the content that is posted on your Google+ page

is very searchable. By effectively using SEO techniques in the post titles more of your

content will appear in higher spots on page one and two of Google search, especially

if the person searching is a Google+ user. The more content that you add to your

page – pictures, videos, articles – the stronger your Google search presence becomes.

Broaden Your Audience

Google+ has a unique code of etiquette. When sharing content that another person

or page posted you are encouraged to tag them in the post with a “+” thanking them

for sharing the content. This sends the page or person a notification that you shared

the content and they are able to see the thank you.

Google +

Google+ is great venue to find and share relevant industry information. Google+ is the final frontier of social media outlets, this has made it easier to get

noticed and have content shared by big names in the automotive industry from companies like Edmunds.com, Motor Authority, Motor Trend Magazine,

and OEM’s.
