oh i see, you want the forums mechanics to tell you what you what to have then you film it and earn bucks from it to make your company and your sister company to look good...to novices
why not ask your sister company to film what ever jobs they are doing then come and tell mechanics, learners and novices what you got for them..i mean when is the next time youll have a everybodys vehcles in, to film. seems like an endless wait already to me.
barking over but will give some advise, you want people to buy parts from you.....who is your taget market and what audience do have via the forum. where is the audience in relation to your business and how does that reflect on cost to the end consumer. how much audience is on the forum close to you to collect in person or via post or even delivery several times a day.
what i would do personally if i was you..spend more time capturing local audience where you can deliver several time per day as needed in the modern day industry..a car of the parking bays is lost custom..come back tomorrow is no good in the modern world people want to say leave it with me and ill get parts later on. saying come back tomora is giving work to someone else where the customers then have time to shop round and give quotes to beat to competators....see where im going
market your company locally create a database of customers offer deals to frequently used accounts expand by openning else where do the same again.
i mean you wouldnt leaflet an area of 1000 house advertising parts and how too's to an area wher mass unemployment dictates that they dont have more than 50 cars between them, it would create a waste of time, money and manpower time is money money is money manpower is money thats without cost of a thousand leaflets so who is the target audience not the unemployed who are most likely to shop around for parts and go to the cheapest, they can still watch yer vids for free remember and thats cost yer more money straight away manpower on job to film it, band width of webserver..but will the unemployed customer have a computer and broadband to view it??
so its got to be working class rich will go to garage they wont get hands dirty so its working class who want the weekend of and will go to garage on a saturday even to get car fixed as they wont have time.
so whos the real target audience the mechanic..does the mechanics in this forum need to watch vidoes of your lads fixing a timing belt when theyve paid a 1000 knickers to autodata and have cam belt book to go with it, if jow blogg mechanic 500 miles away from you wants a part today where will he go to the cheapest ro to the guy that can deliver it today so the job can be completed today no matter what time it is during opening times.
i hope my experience is business and finance serve you well.
