Doesn't work on IE10, just shows a black screen. Always the danger when introducing newer 'tech'. Will it work on the average customer desktop or fail and leave the user with 'wtf?' Fine on iphone and I'm sure newer chrome browser etc. You get that a lot with webRTC video etc..
Up until ios12 for example, iphone didn't support the VP8 codec for live video, only apples own codec. So Android phones can play either but don't perform that well on H264 and iphone won't play VP8. So you rely on multiple streams, OS detection and so on with varied success and user experience.
My point being, every time a shiny new tech/idea comes out... will it actually work on your customers typical devices. That's the caveat to the bleeding edge.

Great thread going on guys and gals!!
Not a lot of mention of Instagram Stories. We are using these daily at the store and it's become a bit of a training ground for our FB and YouTube videos.
What's the ROI? I have no f'n idea but we're having a good time doing them.
Staff is a lot more keen to get in front of the camera when they know the video disappears in 24 hours.
Personally, I'd like to see more "behind the scenes" type of videos at the dealership.
One guy I've recently discovered is "Dave B Sells Chevy".
I absolutely LOVE what he is doing.
He's a salesperson taking you through what it's really like to sell cars and how deals are structured etc; Check him out.

I've been debating starting a YouTube channel with life as a GM type of content.

Another good video tactic for dealerships is putting a video on model-specific landing pages.
This increases engagement and the opportunity to influence shoppers more. We all know video influences shoppers up to 80% more than just pictures.
Here’s an example of a dealership using a Ford F-150 YouTube video on their landing page:

Adding the dogs is a great touch as well
Right? Anything you can do to grab a car shopper's attention and keep them on your page - including adding dogs to your video's thumbnail

Video is a great tool when it comes to dealership marketing.
Too few salespeople/teams use it the smart way.
I've been part of many meetings where it started with something like: "Should we use Video?" and ended with someone ordering a freaking $10,000 studio of Amazon...
Seriously.
Can we start with stupid stuff first?
If you're a sales associate, take your damn phone, sit in one of the cars in the showroom. Press record and take 20 seconds to introduce yourself.
BOOM.
You have an introduction video that puts you ahead of 99% in this business.
Think about becoming Steven Spielberg next year, or not.
P.S: If anyone likes the idea, you should check this out. You'd know how to integrate this new video you just made.
