5 Things to Consider Before Selecting a Marketing Partner  

Before selecting a marketing partner for your auto repair shop, shop owners and managers should consider the following factors: 

Budget

Knowing how much money you are willing and able to invest in marketing campaigns will help you and your marketing partner devise the most cost-effective strategy for your business. For example, if you want to spend $100 or less on Marketing, Google Ads might not be a good fit for your business, but email and text message marketing will provide an excellent return on investment. 

Time

Marketing campaigns can be incredibly time-consuming. Many shop owners only want to spend a few hours each month on marketing. If this sounds like you, you should select a Marketing partner, like AutoVitals, that offers a dedicated Marketing advisor to run and optimize campaigns on your behalf. 

Goals

It is helpful for the shop team to brainstorm goals that they would like to achieve with their marketing campaign. Having achievable goals will help you and your marketing partner prioritize. 

Customer Base

Before launching your first marketing campaign, ensure you know your target audience and demographic. Consider if there is a specific neighborhood or vehicle you would like to target. From here, your marketing partner should be able to provide services that effectively target this demographic and reach potential customers. 

Brand Identity

Your shop's brand identity includes your logo, color palette, font style, and shop values. Having a clear brand identity will help you and your marketing partner craft tailored campaigns that reflect this identity and help the shop stand out from the competition.
