Thanksgiving Marketing Ideas for your Automotive Repair Shop

Nov 3, 2015

How many marketing messages per day do you think you see during the holiday season?  I’m not sure exactly how many I receive, but it is overwhelming. You receive advertisements daily on everything from your radio to your television. But how can you break through this clutter to reach your automotive repair shop customers this Thanksgiving?

Repair Shop Websites has worked with over 2,000 automotive repair shop customers for over a decade and knows what it takes to attract ideal customers to your shop. So we put together a list of marketing ideas for your shop to use this Thanksgiving. Check out the ideas below!

  • Run a contest. Have a referral contest or ask your customers to dress their vehicles like a turkey, and then share the pictures on social media. Announce the contest in your shop and on your website.
  • Support a charity. When customers pay for your services, donate some of the money to a local charity. Show your support by adding this charity to your website.
  • Thank your customers. Write a thank you note to your customer and put it on your website.
  • Loyalty customer programs. Reward customers for their business with discounts or gifts. Inform customers about your VIP program on your website.
  • Sponsor local teams and events. Show your support for a local team by adding pictures and mentioning them on your website.
  • Pre-Trip inspection promotions. Add coupons to your website to get your customers to bring their vehicle in for their pre-trip inspections.
