Word-of-mouth advertising is one of the cheapest and most effective types of advertising your company can invest in, but how do we generate this elusive type of advertising? Most experts in the area will say, “Get out and ‘network’.” So we go to a Chamber of Commerce meeting with dozens or even hundreds of other people trying to promote their company or service, and we attempt to promote our company or service as well. Very few people come to these meetings to buy things. The odds seem to be stacked against from the beginning, so is it any wonder why most of us come back from these meetings thinking that we just wasted an hour or two?

Advertisers who ignore details are probably throwing away their advertising dollars. Never assume that your target audience knows who you are or where to find you.

It works like this. Consumers who know and trust the mechanics in a dealership's fixed operations will be more likely to purchase a new vehicle from the sales department of that same dealership. As opposed to competing directly for new sales, smart dealerships should compete indirectly by building business in their fixed ops departments—business that will lead to additional vehicle sales in the future.
