We're in print! 📰 Our team was featured in The Haul, NATDA's official magazine, with our article "Stop the Scroll: Facebook Content That Sells Trailers."

We analyzed six months of Facebook performance data across trailer dealerships to find what actually drives clicks, not just reach. What we found:

🚫 Generic stock photos earned the most reach but the lowest click-through rate.
🎥 Reels and on-site videos with real team members drove nearly 3x the clicks of inventory posts.
📸 Customer photos and candid dealership moments reached fewer people but had the highest CTR of any content type.
🚜 Inventory posts remain essential, buyers can't buy what they can't see.

The lesson for dealers: pair steady inventory visibility with authentic, people-focused content, and you turn scrollers into shoppers.
