“In today’s social media

dominated world, online

consumer generated content,

such as reviews and ratings,

is prevailing as a key influence

in shoppers’ decision to

ultimately purchase a product

or use a service. This trend

can be recognized by the

increase in popularity of Web sites

built on business models providing just this

type of information. A positive consequence of such

review sites is that businesses work hard to avoid getting

low scores and more effort is put into satisfying customers. “

Alin Sturek

J. D. Power and Associates

It’s fairly easy to see that in the

Social Networking space, the three

Dominant sites are a minimum Requirement

for a dealer’s social marketing Strategy,

and dealership profile pages and accounts

On each can be a valuable source of traffic

Why Bother with Web 2.0 Marketing Strategy?

Web 2.0 is fundamentally altering how customers interact

with the Internet, and how businesses reach them.

• In 2007, Web 2.0 sites attracted 69 million

users in the United States alone.

• In 2008, Web 2.0 sites generated $1 billion

in advertising revenue.

• By 2011, Web 2.0 sites are projected to

attract 101 million users in the U.S. and

earn $4.3 billion in advertising revenue.

We need to overcome obstacles that prevent dealers and

dealer ad associations from utilizing this dynamic

communication medium in an effective manner…

Edmunds.com - first Automotive review site

Edmunds follows a product review model for automobiles.

Meanwhile, a separate link takes readers to its “community

areas,” where users share their automotive ownership and

purchasing experiences. Edmunds has maintained

this online community

since 1996, and it is

moderated. All content

posted to the site is

reviewed by Edmunds’

staff within 24 hours,

and offending material

is immediately removed.

Is it time for dealers to

Create online communities for employees and customers?

51

51


Edmunds.com as a dealer sales tool

According to a recent

CapGemini study, 29%

of car buyers use

consumer-to-

consumer (C2C) sites

such as Edmunds,

blogs or Internet

discussion groups

when researching

information during the

vehicle shopping

process, up from 21%

in 2006.

the content is practically free.” Gibs continued,

“Notably, the Associated Press also stands out,

significant growth as consumers seek

“Every now and then I google myself for

the other day I noticed my ADM profile

page was #1, and I haven't even tried to
