How to bring in more event traffic through a blog
We all love a good community event! Whether it’s a charity car wash raising funds for the local animal shelter or sponsoring a back-to-school drive, getting involved is a fantastic way to give back. But how do you get people to show up? A blog is your secret weapon!
- Post engaging previews: Use captivating descriptions, pictures, and even videos to create a buzz around your events. Highlight the fun activities, the cause you’re supporting, and any special guest appearances.
- Spread the word: Share your blog posts on social media, include them in your email newsletters, and even print flyers to spread the news the old-fashioned way. The more people who see your blog, the bigger the turnout at your events!
Showcase your dealership’s community involvement
Being a community champion isn’t a one-time event; it’s an ongoing commitment. Your blog is the perfect platform to showcase your dedication:
- Feature stories: Write about the charities you support, the volunteers who give their time, and the positive impact you’re having together.
- Partner with local heroes: Interview local business owners, community leaders, and even customers who make a difference. Sharing their stories strengthens the community bond.
Keep a record and build bridges with new customers
Looking back on past events is a great way to measure your impact and inspire future endeavors. Your blog can be a valuable archive:
- Event wrap-ups: Recap your events with photos, quotes, and thank you messages. This not only shows appreciation to participants but also serves as a record of your good deeds.
- Track your progress: Over time, your blog becomes a chronicle of your community involvement. You can use this to showcase your dedication to potential customers and inspire others to get involved.
