DESCRIPTION

So I was spoke at an automotive event, and it reminded me of some work that I did with my team over the holidays. We gathered some examples of what various car dealerships have been doing on their social channels, and I added comment in the style of my book, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook. Today I decided to re-release the case studies in a new format specifically for Slideshare! Whether you're in the automotive industry or not, these critiques should provide some substantial value to anybody looking to improve the quality of their social content.

1Good creative. Looks native to the

platform, and doesn’t have any overt branding or logos.

Always good to have lots of #hashtags, but I doubt anybody is clicking through #GreenwoodVillage

to discover more content.

If you’re advertising hot chocolate, it’s probably best to show what you’re talking about. This copy has zero relation to the

image, which I find to be seriously confusing.

1Using a popular

meme to be seasonally relevant? Perfect.

Matching hashtag, too? Nicely done.

Hit up something like memegenerator.net to actually customize the

image text.

“Brake Yourself, Winter Drivers are

Coming” would have killed here.

1If you’re going to plug a product like these cute

car eyelashes, GIVE ME A LINK SO THAT I

CAN BUY THEM.

1Really solid right hook with

a great seasonal feeling.

The use of native text written on the windscreen is something EVERYBODY

should be trying on Instagram.

Why no copy to go along with the image? This is your chance to be really straightforward

with a “buy” CTA.

Again, like our first example, this has a great volume of hashtags, but some of them are too

narrow to get you any discovery.

1Image is incorrectly

formatted and stretched out. Use this link as a handy reference.

There is way too much copy on the actual event.

The only CTA is buried at the end of it way past the point where any normal

person would have stopped reading.

Speaking of the CTA, you know Facebook events have an RSVP function,

right?

Asking people to email you is another level of

friction that will lose your audience.

1Fantastic newsjacking of the Amazon Prime Drone

joke. Very smart.1

GARYVAYNERCHUK.COM

The copy is laid out very smartly, separating @s and links so they don’t

get jumbled.

But seriously, guys, let’s all agree to stop using

our own handles in our tweets.

It’s weird and redundant.
