Behind-The-Scenes 🔍 With South County Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram: 

South County DCJR is located in St. Louis, MO, and have been in the same location since 1965. We have had the pleasure of working with our partners Allen Masengil, GM, Mike Chorba, Sales and Finance Manager, and Ashley Etheridge, BDC Director since 2020. 

Collectively, this is a team that believes in innovation, testing new strategies, and the power behind social media — in other words, one of our favorite Dealers United Partners! 

Creating a Full-Funnel, Omnisocial Strategy

South County DCJR wanted to dominate their market and competition, and an Omnisocial strategy was the perfect solution.

Omnisocial, or omnichannel, refers to a multi-platform advertising strategy that works to provide a seamless customer experience; no matter where a shopper is spending time. This approach delivers the next relevant message at the right time in the auto buyer journey, on the platform where they are spending time NOW.

What separates an average Omnisocial campaign from a top-performing one is a full-funnel strategy. Specifically, leveraging different ad types intentionally, with thoughtful messaging that coincide with the mindset and stage of the auto buyer journey.

South County DCJR worked with Dealers United to develop messaging for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, and TikTok that would diversify as shoppers went through different stages of the buyer journey (awareness, consideration, and conversion).

While we covered a lot of South County’s stats and success in this article, don’t just take it from us…

Check out this testimonial from Mike Chorba, Sales and Finance Manager:

“Our goal is to dominate our market in all aspects of the auto industry. With how competitive our DMA is, that can be challenging at times. One area I don’t have to worry about now is our social media presence. The cost per lead and cost per sale is something that most social-ad-based companies could only dream of achieving. We are saving thousands every month over previous providers and seeing 8 to 10 times the results with Dealers United. Now that is dominating in a space!”
