6. Case Study: Marlboro Nissan, MA Karen Kaster, from Westford, MA, came to Marlboro to pick up her prize, an iPad she won by solving a very difficult challenge question on Marlboro Nissan’s fan page. After chatting for a while I asked how she became a fan of Marlboro Nissan’s page.
7. Case Study: Marlboro Nissan, MA Her response was all to common: “My brother lives in Indiana and is a fan of the page and he knew the answer. Since he wasn’t eligible to win the prize and he knew I was here in MA, he called me and told me to join the page. So I did!”

11. http://www.wikimotive.net People don’t spend time on Facebook so they can search for all the advertising they just fast-forwarded past on their Tivo or DVR. Facebook is supposed to be fun.

13. http://www.wikimotive.net A successful Facebook Marketing strategy isn’t going to help you sell more cars if you don’t already have a well trained sales staff. The Wrong Reason If they can’t get people in the door; if they’re not treating people right once they come in; if they’re not following up.
14. http://www.wikimotive.net Facebook Marketing is what to do when you’ve got a strong foundation and you’re looking to add incremental business; when you’re looking to enhance your brand awareness; when you’re looking to be more than “just another dealer”.
