    Default I have a marketing meeting in 15 mins...

    give me some marketing ideas for a automotive parts manufacture... if you owned this type of company give me some examples of effective marketing.... i have a lot of the typical stuff we have done or i have done in the past w/ IA but want to see if i missed anything.


    examples:


    • sponsor forums like IA
    • magazine ads
    • mail out catalogs
    • sponsor auto events
    • sponsor clubs/teams
    • website/brand decals

    Sponsor a TV show about cars and trucks. That show uses only parts from your manufacturer.

    Get involved with tuners and/or shops that specialize in the product/vehicle you're selling.

    Direct advertising on forums with a dedicated spokesperson interacting with customers

    that's the #1 way to reach customers IMO. Interact with your customers on a face to face basis (via the net)

    I grew my kiddracing name in 12 months to the point it's mentioned with skunk2, buddy club, vibrant etc (multi million dollar corporations)

    the number one thing people like about my business.......I'm online answering customers questions rapidly and they feel like they are relating to me

    That's my opinion the Internet trumps any other form of advertising
