Utilizing Social Media To Promote the 2011 Ford Fiesta

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

fiestaWithout seeing it on TV, hearing about it on the radio or reading about it in the local newspaper, hundreds of thousands of Americans are seeing and learning all about the 2011 Ford Fiesta that will arrive next year. Score a big one for social networking.

The 2011 Ford Fiesta promises to be something many American car buyers are not used to – a subcompact car with premium quality and features along with a fun-to-drive personality. Ford figured that telling the car’s story to Americans, especially to young and young-at-heart buyers, would take a special media vehicle. Ford chose social networking.

Other companies have used blogs and social networking sites like FaceBook, FlickR, Blogger, YouTube and Twitter to drum up interest in their products. The experienced users of those online tools can see right through the corporate message, though. Ford took a different road.

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Dazzles the Car Experts

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Some prominent voices in the automotive media are calling the 2010 Ford Fusion the best hybrid car you can buy – and for the simple reason that it doesn’t drive like a hybrid car.

Ford Taurus Reinvention

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Discard preconceived ideas of what “full-size sedan” means. Only then can you begin to understand how Ford rewrote the book on this type of car with the new 2010 Taurus. The result is the comfort and room of a full-size sedan with the agility of a midsize sedan…at a price that will pleasantly surprise.

They once roamed the freeways and turnpikes in huge numbers. They were once the most popular cars in America. “They” were full-size sedans. As more car buyers moved to minivans, SUVs and crossovers, those stalwarts of the American highway began to fade. For a variety of reasons, buyers stopped choosing “traditional” full-size sedans.
