TRANSCRIPT
Integrated Social Media Marketing for Car Dealers“…From electing an American president to toppling an Egyptian dictator, there seems to be no limits to what social media can do, but what about driving profitable business into today's dealership?”
This session will showcase several actual case studies of social media marketing initiatives that have produced measurable and successful results for the dealers that executed them. An emphasis will be placed on each example's coordination with both off-line and online communication channels driven by an integrated marketing strategy. Attendees will learn how to create viral marketing impact using contests and a system that rewards consumers for spreading the word about the dealership. Online resources will be provided along with reference handouts in printed format providing attendees with valuable tools that they can make use of to promote their dealership before leaving the conference. The use of Google Analytics, content syndication, article marketing, Facebook pages, Twitter link campaigns and how to leverage a dealership's Facebook Fan base as a marketing database will each be demonstrated from the perspective of dealers who have done what many consider to be the future of marketing… today.

With one click of the customer’s mouse button, Performance Toyota’s eNewsletter makes it easy for customers to share “Money Saving Tips” using any, or all of the customer’s social media accounts. These “Social Sharing” apps do all the work so customers can share anything they find interesting with friends, family, coworkers or anybody they are connected with that the customer believes may benefit from the information and link sent… So, let’s click on Facebook first.
After I click on the Facebook icon in Performance Toyota’s eNewsletter, a new browser window automatically pops open and Facebook recognizes me, has me already logged in and the eNewsletter article headline and an image is preloaded and ready to go… I add a comment in the box at the top explaining why I am sharing this Toyota dealer’s eNewsletter article about using your cell phone to take advantage of money saving coupons… Wouldn’t you? If customer is not in the mood to type, they can just click the “Share” button on the bottom right…
When I was dropped back into the eNewsletter, I clicked on the Twitter icon… With that one click of my mouse, the eNewsletter pushes a Tweet tip to my Twitter account, ready for me to share with 1,200+ friends, family, coworkers (Twitter followers) in a nicely pre-populated little message… With a link to the article!

How do you know what and how to integrate and then measure if it is getting
results?
Trademark Protection
Creating a dealership brand, reputation and website is no longer about just claiming your domain name.
Dealers should claim their name, brand, campaign, and franchises across hundreds of social media networks.
This not only protects a dealer’s unique Trademark and brand name, but also helps create a channel for content delivery and messaging among automotive consumers that ensures Top Of Mind awareness, Dealer and Franchise consideration.
Dealer Visibility
• Social Media has emerged over the past 5 years as one of the most effective advertising media for automotive retailers.
• Dealers can no longer ignore the Social Media automotive consumer base. It is large, motivated and controls a vast amount of vehicle and service purchasing power. Trends in buying behavior are multiplying faster than ever with the help of social media.
• Dealers must stay visible and continuous across the entire Social Media spectrum. This means spreading the same image or Branding throughout each Social Media community, while still customizing its approach to each site’s different population.
• Dealerships can customize their approach to demographic segments in each Social Media community, while still maintaining overall brand and/or dealer group image.
Online Reputation
• Each Dealer’s Online Reputation is the most important aspect of its participation in Social Media. In the age of instant gratification and immediate response a negative review can have a derogatory impact on sales for months to come.
• A positive or negative review will trickle down the ranks and be seen by many in the community.
• Good reviews pay off dividends, and the investment is minimal. Dealers have the power to help promote good reviews and push down negative reviews in search results.
• A dealership can utilize unique marketing and advertising tactics in these spaces. There are few rules in this ever-changing social landscape. However, the golden rule still exists, the customer is always right, and now they can really let you know.
• A dealership’s employees must take part in their Social Media communities. The more your team puts in, the more you’ll get out.
Search Engine Optimization
• SEO is key to a successful automotive digital marketing strategy. It is proven that Google’s search results directly correlate to website traffic, sales and service leads and the revenue they help create. The higher the rank of a dealer’s website within Search Engine Results Pages (SERP), the better the traffic.
• Traffic = Sales • More Traffic = More Sales• Use a Social Media Account/Profile creation service that will
insert hundreds of links back to your dealership’s website… Broadcasting a clean, consistent and clear message across the Social Media web.
• Create a unique dealership email address that links to all new social media accounts and profiles.
• Cross checks your preferred Username against all social media sites and note where it is already reserved.
• Claim your dealership’s unique Username- Secure your dealership name in the form of a username on every
site, where it has not yet been claimed.- Select a consistent alternate username
• Confirm all registration verification requirements• Uploads a profile picture onto each Social Media site• Insert dealership’s chosen URL to create traffic generating
back-links, search rank and authority
Social Media Account/Profile Creation
• Insert a designated URL into each Social Media site• Post a short Bio in each Social Media profile• Insert address, telephone, first and last name, POC’s• List all keywords, likes, interests related to your dealership• Provide profile summaries with link to all Social media profile
pages under username’s vanity URL.• Allow for spreadsheet export of all social media profiles
containing URL and brief description of Social Media Site
