As announced, the consumer car audio site, CarTech4You, has been launched by CEoutlook to help raise awareness of the car audio and electronics aftermarket and to generate interest in your own web site.
You can see our latest story on CarTech4You. One of our next stories will be on Hi-Res Audio in the car. If you have a suggestion for a story, email [email protected]
HOW CAN CARTECH4YOU HELP YOUR STORE?
You can engage your web site visitors and look like the expert you truly are by running an RSS Feed of CarTech4You stories on your web site.
Also, you can promote hot new products from vendors that you carry by subscribing only to the RSS Feeds of your vendors. So if you are a Pioneer dealer and Pioneer has a new hot CarPlay deck, it will appear in the RSS feed on your site.
WHY CARTECH4YOU?
We want to address the millions of consumers who don’t know they can buy great car audio, remote start and driver safety products at a local store.
We want to reach an audience that is not the typical demographic for a car audio shop, like women and senior citizens.
Once we get more visitors, we will reach out to the appropriate blogs, magazines and industry groups to help promote 12 volt aftermarket products to a wider audience.
HERE’S HOW TO BENEFIT FROM CARTECH4YOU:
We have learned that best way for your site to benefit from CarTech4You stories, while preserving your SEO, is by running an RSS Feed of CarTech4You stories somewhere on your website. Often, it is placed in a side bar on your home page.
Most retailers will want to subscribe to the RSS feeds on Car Stereo, Driver Safety and/or Remote Start. Then pick the feeds for the brands you carry and follow the instructions for placing them on your web site.
