A few weeks back now, I had the most enlightening chat with Claire Rainwater.

She's married to a friend of mine who you might also know well as a sales expert in our industry: Rob Rainwater.

I asked Claire if she would come on the podcast to chat about mental health and wellbeing - specifically for the automotive industry.

We are a very male focused industry and it can be tough for us men to admit we're struggling or to engage in any sort of 'mindfulness' practice.

Let me be the first to tell you - it doesn't have to involve a lot of time investment.

Claire opened my eyes to how easy it can be to calm down, get some perspective and move forward in our days and our lives with clarity.

I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did.

Chris Daglis, Managing Director, and Georgia Carver, Social Media Director sit down to bring us the 'Get Real Marketing Series'.

In this episode, Chris and Georgia explain how the automotive recycling industry, primarily comprised of family businesses, has not fully embraced marketing and social media.’


*Key Takeaways
The automotive recycling industry has traditionally overlooked the potential of social media marketing and storytelling due to its non-corporate nature and focus on environmental practices. Many businesses in the industry, including both family-owned businesses and perspective operations, do remarkable work from an environmental perspective but often neglect marketing and social media aspects. The responsibility for social media and marketing fall on admin personnel or directors, who often have limited time and prioritize other aspects of their roles. To measure the return on investment (ROI) of social media efforts, consistent and well-executed strategies are required.Allocating time, resources, and expertise to social media marketing is crucial for success.Businesses must embrace social media as a powerful tool for showcasing environmental initiatives.Effective social media strategies can yield tangible results and drive growth in the automotive recycling industry.

The Get Real Marketing Series 2023: ‘Why Do Automotive Recyclers Need to Use Social Media?’

- DIGITAL MARKETING -

We know it works and we know most other industries have adapted to it.
So why is the automotive recycling industry so far behind?
Did the digital world forget about us, or are we too busy running our yards to market them?

I feel so passionately about the power of Digital marketing in elevating your business, that I asked my Social Media Manager, Georgia to record this series with me. I hope it helps you take action if you need it.
