			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Car Dealers are still hesitant to give Twitter a try. We all know the first step in a successful Twitter campaign is to get quality followers. Many people don&#8217;t realize that a single Tweet can go a long way.</p>
<p>Take a look at this screen shot and I will explain below:</p>
<div id="attachment_14" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 525px"><img class="size-full wp-image-14" title="twitterbitlyclicks" src="http://www.showroomlogic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/twitterbitlyclicks.png" alt="Using The Bit.ly Plugin, anybody can track clicks." width="515" height="668" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Using The Bit.ly Plugin, anybody can track clicks.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first example is a Tweet sent out for a car dealer in Tampa Florida. This dealer only has 26 followers, but the Bit.ly report says it received 28 clicks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second example shows a car dealer with only 9 followers, yet there were 16 clicks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The last example show a car dealer in Orlando with 179 followers. This Tweet is only 4 hours old, and it was sent out on a Sunday morning. It already received 9 clicks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>So where do all of the clicks come from if a dealer only has a few followers?</em></strong> The answer is simple. The Tweet gets picked up by many websites, and that number is increasing daily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First of all, Showroom Logic has a main Twitter account with 191 followers that follow us just to receive our used car tweets. These people are in the market for a used car, and they want to be notified here. You can see this account in action <a title="Used Cars In Florida Twittter" href="http://www.twitter.com/floridausedcars">here</a>. Any dealer in Florida will have their Tweets sent out on this Twitter Account as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The second source is a massive collection of websites that broadcast tweets using keywords</em>. As an example, <a title="Kia Tweets" href="http://www.kiareports.com/webchatter/kia_sorento_2010_1">this website</a> broadcasts any Tweet with the word &#8220;Kia&#8221; in it. So, any of our dealers who send out a Tweet to sell a Kia will automatically show up on this website, and <em>thousands of others</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The same will happen with other car types, like Chevrolet, Dodge and even specific makes like &#8220;Honda Accord&#8221;. Website similar to these are being launched by the thousands every week.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You as a car dealer need to be proactive. You cannot wait any longer because your competition down the street may beat you to it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Call Brandon at <strong>(866) 994-1601 Extension 106</strong> if you have any questions, or visit <a title="Showroom Logic" href="http://www.showroomlogic.com">Showroom Logic</a> for more information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to learn more about how to use the <a title="Bit.ly Toolbar For Firefox" href="http://www.lakeland-printing.com/blog/dont-let-spammers-and-pranksters-ruin-your-twitter-experience.html">Bit.ly Tool Bar, you can read about it here</a>.</p>
