The share of advertising spend on newspapers has reduced drastically over the last decade or so. With high speed broadband and powerful technology companies like Google, Apple and Facebook, online advertising is becoming a game-changer in driving the business growth. Internet has revolutionised the way businesses compete on a day-to-day basis. Companies can target not only the local customers but the ones which are far away from business location. And customers see it as a shopping opportunity that is open 24 x 7 with a wide choice to pick and choose the most competitive service provider. From a business perspective, having an online shop is the most cost-effective way of doing a business and an absolute necessity to complement the physical shop.

Motor industry is no exception to this rule. A classic example is Auto Trader which started as a magazine in 1977. Did you know that Auto Trader published their last magazine in 2013 and became completely digital? Today the website receives atleast 11 million visits every month via desktop, tablet, and mobile devices! A similar transition is happening in the motor repair and servicing industry, which to date has been depending on word of mouth referrals and garage owner’s personal rapport with their customers. The change to digital and internet search and booking is slowly but surely coming. Garage Manager Software (GMS) from Ekavat can help automate the booking process and help your business reach out to a wider audience.
