Here are 9 Social Media Guidelines For Auto Dealers
Be transparent and state that you work at (Dealership). Your honesty will be noted in the Social Media environment. If you are writing about (Dealership) or a competitor, use your real name, identify that you work for (Dealership), and be clear about your role. If you have a vested interest in what you are discussing, be the first to say so.
Never represent yourself or (Dealership) in a false or misleading way. All statements must be true and not misleading; all claims must be substantiated.
Post meaningful, inoffensive comments in other words, please, no spam and no remarks that are off-topic or offensive.
Use common sense and common courtesy: for example, it's best to ask permission to publish or report conversations that are meant to be private or internal to (Dealership). Make sure your efforts to be transparent don't violate (Dealership)'s privacy, confidentiality, and legal guidelines for external commercial speech.
When disagreeing with others' opinions, keep it appropriate and polite. If you find yourself in a situation online that looks as if it's becoming antagonistic, do not get overly defensive and do not disengage from the conversation abruptly: feel free to ask your direct supervisor for advice and/or to disengage from the dialogue in a polite manner that reflects well on (Dealership).
If you want to write about the competition, make sure you behave diplomatically, have the facts straight and that you have the appropriate permissions.
Please never comment on anything related to legal matters, litigation, or any parties (Dealership) may be in litigation with.
Never participate in Social Media when the topic being discussed may be considered a crisis situation. Even anonymous comments may be traced back to your or (Dealerships)'s IP address. Refer all Social Media activity to your direct supervisor.
Be smart about protecting yourself, your privacy, and (Dealership)'s confidential information. What you publish is widely accessible and will be around for a long time, so consider the content carefully. Google has a long memory.
