What If Your Shop’s Newsletter Became Your Best Marketing Tool? [RR 1117]

What if your customers actually looked forward to receiving your shop’s newsletter? Could consistent, engaging content become one of your most powerful tools for building trust, strengthening relationships, and attracting new customers?

Bill DeBoer of DeBoer’s Auto in Hamburg, New Jersey, shares how his shop has spent more than a decade developing a content marketing strategy that goes far beyond traditional advertising. From educational blogs and engaging newsletters to recipes, lifestyle stories, and social media, Bill has built a marketing approach designed to keep his business connected to customers long before they need a repair.

But what does it take to sustain a content strategy for 12 years? How do you consistently find topics worth sharing, build a team to manage the workload, and turn that content into measurable business opportunities?

Bill also explores the importance of authentic branding, using real employee photography instead of generic AI generated images, and creating a professional online experience that helps customers feel familiar with your team before their first visit.
