The ResultsThis type of competition drives outstanding results. Salesmen in the video produce high quality walk-around demonstrations in hopes to win the cash prize. The videos themselves are searchable with several inbound links to increase leads and SEO values. Engagement on the social pages also increases. In this case, the 1st week Showroom Showdown poll was the most popular post the page has had to date, increasing reach, engagement, and edge rank.

Three Step Contest

First, users go to YouTube to watch the videos online before voting for their favorite salesperson on Facebook.

The dealership’s audience can then goto the Facebook page, vote, and share the contest with their friends.

Finally, the results are posted on Face-book’s Timeline and users have the chance to comment on the link, stating their opin-ion on who won the competition.
