Social media has continued to evolve since Facebook was made available to the public in 2006. Since that time platforms like Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram have continued to change the way in which we communicate with the world. Social media platforms have also changed in the way businesses communicate with their customers. It’s also provided an opportunity for the voice of the customer to be heard by businesses and the rest of the world. Gone are the days where transactions between a business and customer happen in isolation. Social media platforms have forever altered the way businesses market themselves and effectively created a 24/7/365 marketing cycle. It’s imperative that automotive dealerships understand how to take advantage of social media, the importance of online reputation management, and the most effective and efficient ways to harness the power of social media to drive traffic to their dealerships.
