An auto parts and custom car care center recognized the need to modernize its digital presence to reach more customers and better represent its expertise in high-quality parts and specialized services. To accomplish this, they brought in a dedicated social media specialist, who developed a tailored strategy, resulting in boosted engagement and customer loyalty.
