    Why Would Anyone Purchase from Your Dealership?

    Agreed on this - I more meant to take the meat out of the responses for those that have meat. I acknowledge a lot could be a) out of your control or b) ridiculous. However, if themes start to emerge and they are in your control, they are worth fixing and could be a differentiator (how is this...

    Why Would Anyone Purchase from Your Dealership?

    Ooof - sorry again for novel length reply! See this is what happens when I travel for months straight - I have pent up wordiness just waiting to be unleashed! :)

    Why Would Anyone Purchase from Your Dealership?

    Curse you Brian/Jeff with your thought provoking blog that came to me in my gmail and distracted me from getting work done!! But I couldn't help responding because I see this ALL the time. Heck - a lot of dealerships DON'T know what delineates them from their competition because nothing does...

    Brainstorm: NADA! Duh - let's meet up there!! Also -for you Twitter lurkers, you are invited too and those of you that don't share your company's on DR (which, am I the only one who thinks this is weird?!), you can ALSO come. I don't discriminate. Even if you do work for a pseudo-competitor...

    Hey All - Thanks for all the great back and forth! As an FYI - the Jupiter Chevy thing has not been in the past year, we are talking the last few weeks for the trip in fans! Which is why engagement is still low - we are just starting to bring up that liker base! And we can definitely talk more...

    Hi Eley - I'm rushing out the door for a flight, but I'll send you the case study after I land later today for Jupiter Chevrolet so you can see why that information was put in the video. And again, please feel free to reach out to me directly - I'd be happy to discuss your concerns about how...

    A little proof in the Social Media pudding?

    I love when dealerships have someone in-house dedicated to social and reputation - that is BEST CASE scenario, for sure! We get the best results with clients who have someone in the dealership that is responsible and does all of the great human capital side of social/repuation and relies on us...

    A little proof in the Social Media pudding?

    Awesome example Ryan and kudos to your team Adam! Back in 2009, when I was still at my old Dealer group, we got really heavy into DealerRater and it was even before all the cool new features they have now. We had a guy at one of our Honda stores that got it before anyone else and skyrocketed...

    A little proof in the Social Media pudding?

    Agree 100% with everything in here...love your breakdown Subi. I would also add, there are some great case studies (Subi reach out to me directly and I can get them to you: [email protected]) of how dealerships can also convert those community members to in-store customers without doing...

    Oh my gosh - I just saw this after it posted...I had no idea it was THAT long when I was writing. It seemed WAY shorter (Ok, maybe not "way" but shorter...)! :o Sorry for the post of epic proportions...a wise woman once told me "less is more" - that is why she is the wise one out of the two of...

    Kelly - thanks for the commendation! And I'm glad we aren't in a situation where we did something wrong - just something that looks fishy, but wasn't! Phew! I don't consider it a losing battle at all! In fact, like I said in my first post - I find it really interesting for a B2B brand that is...

    Hi Eley - Haha - no NADA planning that long ago. City and Popular week don't correspond on the public insights and from what we can tell - "Most Popular Week" is buggy. If you look back at that week (April 23-29)- there is one post with only 8 likes and the most popular cities that week were...

    Hi everyone…yes, this is an interesting case study for B2B and we plan on using it ourselves in training. In testing various types of Facebook ads (we always like to test on our page first) in prep for NADA, we decided to do a promoted post for an upcoming educational webinar. Since we have...
