Engaging in E-Commerce:

To those business owners who are harnessing the power of social media for marketing has proven to be a useful tool, when used properly. Active participation by the dealership is required to leverage customers from social media and original content needs to be curated.
2. A video is worth a thousand words
The statistics by a popular search engine has recorded that 69 percent of the customers were influenced by the videos more than the newspaper or magazines, before buying the car.
