Consumers want to shop for an automobile in the same way they shop for other items online. Online advertisements encourage consumers to make purchases even before they are certain of what they want to buy. The use of artificial intelligence to bring customers to your dealership is the modern way of advertising. The use of social media and other online techniques as a means to collect data about what consumers are looking for and interested in is an excellent way for car dealers to discover what it is their customers are interested in, particularly when they are looking to purchase a new car. This way, the car dealer can entice their customers with the newest cars on the lot by offering them discounts and bonus packages if they purchase a car right now.

Social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have had a dramatic impact on the current business environment. Brands no longer have the luxury of controlling what they want potential customers to see or read about them as social media has empowered consumers to generate content which could affect the public perception of a brand, it has also given these consumers access to a global audience. This has facilitated a power shift from businesses to the consumer.
Social media has amplified the voice of the customers who can now share their pleasure or displeasure with millions of people all over the world. Although the power tilt is mostly in the favour of the customers, businesses can still capitalize on social media to improve their brand image & trustworthiness, engage with customers, support them and access valuable feedback. In this post, I will share 5 ways businesses can ensure their brands always project a positive image on social media.

In today’s fast-paced world, a person’s opinion about a product, service or individual is unpredictable and changing constantly, yet companies can use this unpredictability for their own benefit.
Sentiment analysis is an extremely useful tool to monitor the public opinion of certain topics across social media, like stock market trends or political campaign announcements. By analyzing text—such as posts and reviews uploaded by users on different platforms—sentiment analysis helps businesses understand the social sentiment of a brand, product or service.

For customers, conversations with brands are never more than a click away. Social media is opening up more direct channels for communication between brands and consumers than ever before. And savvy brands know to use platforms like Facebook and Instagram as stronger touchpoints to engage consumers. You might have seen this play out with airline brand representatives alleviating concerns with disgruntled flyers online in real-time, or famous fast food brands exchanging cheeky tweets with critics. While social media is a powerful communication tool, it doesn’t replace a Voice of the Customer (VoC) solution when it comes to gaining actionable customer feedback. Without a solid VoC strategy in place, social media can easily become a place where your brand’s dirty laundry is aired via public conversations, rather than a real driver of positive change.
Here’s how you can use a strong VoC strategy to work in tandem with social to better understand how customers feel about your brand:

In the age of social media, customers not only expect a meaningful two-way conversation but also insist that brands act on what they have to say.
At the same time, customers have become more demanding while their expectations continue to increase. In fact, almost two-thirds of the respondents’ expectations have risen compared to a year ago.
It all comes down to better customer service. Almost all respondents cited the quality of customer service as a determinant of their choice and loyalty to a brand, while 61% walked away from a brand due to poor customer service.

If you have a VoC program or are interesting in building one, where are all the places you should “listen” to their voice? It is much more than just surveys.

Social media and the Voice Of the Customer (VoC). It’s a topic that keeps popping up, especially the value of social and the role of social signals in the overall VoC picture. In its “Integrated Customer Experience study“, Econsultancy once again showed that social media ranks surprisingly low on the list of channels used in a VoC context. Social is even often separated from the overall Voice Of the Customer approach.
