What Social Media is your dealership is using?

[Alex Snyder]

Just curious to see what the favored social media powers are being utilized to help market your dealership.

We're only using Facebook right now - I believe it has great potential. Working on strategies to market it effectively.

We get a little crazy with it over at MileOne. Not saying we take full advantage of each and every medium, but one thing is for sure...we refuse to sit on the sideline. We hike up our pants and jump in.

Just started our Facebook page for Hyundai of St. Augustine.

Working on our Twitter, Blog, and Youtube strategy but we don't want to start something that isn't relevant to our customers...it is my opinion that having no social media strategy at all is better than having a bad one in place.

SM efforts, as Jeff puts it, definitely require you to jump in & experiment. Its not the cure for all ills - but it does deserve a nod.

It started with our blog & continued from there...

Video & photo sites include the likes of YouTube, 12Seconds.tv & Flickr.

SN sites include Facebook Fan Pages, Group Pages & Blog Pages.

I use LinkedIn for extra employee exposure among the professional networking segment as well. (passed on MySpace - not worth the effort IMO)

Microblogging sites include Twitter & Tumblr among others.

Additional tools like our Social Media Newsroom & Google Profiles help the cause...
