Joyce Tribbey
Joyce Tribbey is CustomerLink’s Marketing Coordinator. Her job is to facilitate CustomerLink’s marketing logistics and communications for our publications, partner and vendor support, and event planning. With more than 25 years of experience in editing and technical writing, Joyce is our resident grammar addict. (If you see her coming toward you with her red pen, you should probably run.) When not enjoying her time in the Marketing Department, Joyce takes guilty pleasure in talking fashion and watching professional tennis. It’s actually asserted that she watches entirely too much tennis (and television in general), but since she also reads, travels, and spends time with family and friends in abundance, she’s totally in denial about that. Mad Men, anyone?

If you don’t provide content that speaks to him or, even worse, make a mistake by sending him the wrong message, he’ll never believe that you “get him” or that you care enough about him to handle his automotive service needs. And he certainly won’t be talking you up to his family and friends. If you want to consistently win and hang on to great customers, it’s essential to understand the importance of personalization in your auto shop marketing efforts. Continue reading ›
