Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Empowerment and Ease: Use language that makes the customer feel capable and confident in their ability to use the products. Avoid overly technical jargon where possible, or explain it clearly. Highlight simplicity ("easy to use," "step-by-step," "simple").
• •Consistently Highlight Value and Savings: Quantify savings where possible (e.g., "save up to 80%," "save hundreds"). Frame the service as a smart, cost-effective alternative to dealerships. This is a primary motivator for their customers.
• •Maintain a Helpful and Supportive Stance: Even in marketing copy, subtly convey that support is available. Reference guides, videos, and customer service. This builds trust and reduces anxiety for DIY beginners.
• •Be Direct and Transparent: Clearly state what the product does and how the process works. Manage expectations, for example, regarding what is needed for the "Key by Photo" service or the DIY programming. Honesty builds credibility.
• •Adapt to the Platform but Keep Core Values Consistent: While the style on TikTok might be more informal and humorous than a website FAQ, the underlying message of empowerment, value, and ease should still be evident. The core identity should shine through regardless of the specific channel's nuances.

Social Perception

Generally positive, seen as a legitimate and cost-effective solution. Some mixed reviews regarding product functionality and customer service responsiveness. Seen as an anti-dealership alternative and trustworthy (for many).
