McDonald Volvo Begins New Social Media Campaign

Online, June 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Denver, COLO - May 24, 2010 - How dealerships interact with customers is evolving into a two-way communication and moving away from the one-way communication. McDonald Volvo is beginning the two-way communication through social media.

It is no secret to anyone by now that Facebook has turned into a news media epicenter. Last year in the U.S. there were almost 120 million Facebook users; nearly double the amount there was in 2008. McDonald Volvo acknowledged how many of their customers and surrounding community members were actively engaging on Facebook and decided to join the conversation. The teen chatting social media phase is over; today social media is a major tool in building customer relationships. McDonald Volvo has been building customer relationships for many years and with the addition of Facebook it looks like many new relationships are in the near future.

At the end of 2008 there was just above 8 million users on Twitter. Today there are just above 50 million users and growing fast. A hundred and forty characters, otherwise known as a "tweet," have re-shaped the way we interact with people today. Recognizing the need for instant gratification, McDonald Volvo has already begun disseminating short pieces of useful information and is using some of the feedback they learned on Twitter. With some of the more traditional formats of news becoming outdated, McDonald Volvo believes that social media will soon be one of the most reliable and useful sources of news information.

Facebook and Twitter have revolutionized the way we communicate and participate in customer service, as well as engage with our surrounding community. Between sponsoring different community events and selling vehicles to the greater state of Colorado, McDonald Volvo continues to strive and exceed customer satisfaction. The decision of launching new Facebook and twitter profiles, only demonstrates their commitment for excellence. You can also look for McDonald Volvo on MySpace, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, LinkedIn, and Plurk.
