Topic
Social Media for Dealerships
Description
When looking to buy a new or used car, more and more people are going online first, rather than immediately to the dealership. More importantly, car buyers are logging onto Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ to discuss and ask for advice from friends and family on a potential car purchase. After the entire process is over, they are logging back on to Facebook and Twitter to discuss their experience at your dealership. Phil Penton will be discussing the importance of Automotive Social media and why it is essential for your dealership to establish a strong online social media presence.
Benefits
If your dealership’s current social media strategy is ineffective or non-existent, then you should attend Phil’s Social Media for Dealerships Workshop at the Internet Sales 20 Group in Dallas, TX on March 19-21!
