<!-- wp:reyrey-js/paragraph {"content":"Again, transparency and convenience are some of the top concerns customers have about service. Be realistic about your own value compared to others in your market and play to your strengths. Do you have curtesy vehicles available for certain services? Flexible drop-off and pick-up options? Other benefits which set you apart? Advertise those services so customers associate your dealership with a great experience."} /-->

<!-- wp:reyrey-js/paragraph {"content":"For many fixed ops departments, their marketing strategy has been neglected because of a lack of expertise or a prioritization of sales advertising. Advertising new vehicles is important, but fixed ops must have a place in the marketing budget and strategy as well. Customers \u003cem\u003ehave to\u003c/em\u003e service their vehicle regularly, so there’s a constant demand for service. Why not direct that demand to your dealership?"} /-->

<!-- wp:reyrey-js/paragraph {"content":"Do your research. Speak with your leadership about dealership-wide and sales strategies for ideas in service. Determine a reasonable budget, and be willing to try new marketing methods to appeal to different audiences. If you’re still struggling to set up a cohesive strategy, or you’re failing to see a return on your investments, consult a marketing specialist with service marketing experience."} /--></div>
