Today, we’re debunking common myths! Video is dynamic and versatile, which leaves it open to many uses, interpretations, and misconceptions. We’re here to weed out the untrue notions that may be keeping anyone from utilizing video. Here we go!
If you’re not from the gorgeous coast of California, weather can be a factor in the sales process. It can affect dealership traffic, test drives, events, and recording walkaround videos. When the weather is at its worst, there are a few advantages to roughing it in the cold, rain, and snow…
2018 has been called the year virtual reality goes mainstream. We’ve seen it creeping its way into automotive, with concepts like virtual showrooms, test drives, model building, and manufacturing. It’s safe to say there is a place for VR in the auto industry.

Congratulations to Heyward Allen Motor Company’s Service Department! The powerful message they created using Authntk Walkaround Videos wins our November Video of the Month!
I was thinking about Gladwell’s book, Outliers, and wondered where my experience in the auto industry stacked up to his idea of an expert. Much to my surprise, earlier this year I had reached 10,000 hours of working one-on-one with dealerships. I don’t consider myself a guru or an expert by any means, but my recent discovery does hold some weight to it.
Given the array of dealers, what I really wanted to know was what, if anything, do they all have in common? Is there a string I can thread through all of the dealerships in which we can draw conclusions, expectations, and lessons?
Here at Authntk Walkaround Videos, we hold a very unique vantage point.
We have the opportunity to interact with hundreds of dealerships on a daily basis, and it’s our job to familiarize ourselves with their respective marketing efforts. We see a wide variety of tactics from basic sales techniques to blowout events.
We’ve found the most popular dealerships share a strategy that can easily be learned and implemented, and that is one of seizing opportunities.
By 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator (Walker), and communication is key to setting the stage. Back in the day, we had one option to get in touch with a customer: a phone call. Now, open any one of our devices and there’s Pandora’s box of communication, take your pick.
We can sell you on video all day, but you’re really better off hearing it from the customers.
Most of our dealerships take advantage of the Authntk Text Option, which automatically sends a text message in addition to the video email. Customers are then able to reply to the video via text, and we’re loving what they have to say!
