Key Talking Points:

  • Hashtags- get content seen with right people with keywords and hashtags
    • Shows up in searches and follow a feed on Instagram (most seen post and most recent post)
    • Using own hashtags for business- let customers know they can use it and ask them to do a post on their story video about business and their experience. Built-in marketing, no charge advertising   
    • Hashtags with over 1 million users will decrease your chance of being seen- use more unique hashtags
  • Instagram- 90% of users under 34 years old
    • Influencer- Big companies will reach out if have a large amount of followers to do posts about their product and recommendations.  
    • Millennials want to share information all the time
  • Facebook- make things personal to connect people and customers
    • Meet the staff, behind the scenes of business  
    • “Checking In” business location on Facebook and get discount
    • Think like your customer, have a mix of different posts
    • Make a habit of being in the moment and taking pictures to share
  • Always ask a Millennial or Gen Z to share their experience with their tribe. Ask them to take a pic of their car at your place of business. They want to share a great experience.

NAPA AutoCare’s recent partnership with CarVantage gives your AutoCare Center an easy way to take advantage of telematics, increasing customer retention and boosting customer spend. You provide customers with a CarVantage sensor that plugs into their vehicle and connects via Bluetooth to their smartphone. Then you set up automated marketing campaigns that target customers based on their vehicle’s next maintenance interval, for example, or whenever a check engine light is detected. That gives customers peace of mind and the best experience in the market. They also love CarVantage because it’s free to them. A special offer only for NAPA AutoCare Centers lets you give CarVantage a try at a very affordable price. And it includes free sensors. Other plans and enhancements are also available.
