Insta Tip: Show video of customer with purchase

Freeman Auto & Outdoor in LaCrosse, Virginia, recently showcased a customer’s fairly basic grill purchase by posting videos and photos of the customer rolling the new purchase from showroom floor to their truck bed.

This post also gets the customer into the dealership’s social community by providing images of the customer checking out some of the Masterbuilt grill product specs on the showroom floor.

The post gained 23 likes within two days thanks to some impressive hashtag usage, as you can see in the post below.
