During this webinar our marketing director, Martin Morgan, takes you step by step through building a marketing strategy that you can use to make all of your marketing efforts more effective.

Key takeaways will include:

We surveyed auto repair shop owners from across the United States to get the answers to these questions:

• What marketing tactic is most effective for bringing in new customers?
• What marketing tactic is most effective for bringing in existing customers?
• What key factor are shops highlighting in their marketing?
• What techniques are shops using to recruit techs?
• How often do technicians receive training?

We pulled the data together and presented it in our webinar – Shop Owners Survey: What They Told Us About Marketing and Recruiting.

In addition to presenting the data, our marketing director Martin Morgan, went deeper to interpret the data and offer suggestions on how you can use it to the benefit of your shop. He addressed questions including:

• If social media is performing poorly why should you keep using it? And how might you use it more effectively?
• How can you differentiate your shop based on how everybody else is marketing?
• How can you stand out among shops recruiting techs?
