We had been considering and researching QR Codes and their uses since February. We hit up our local Twitter followers for some feedback way back then, and the feedback was find the value for the consumer, then try it!

So here we are a few months later giving it our “go”.

Have you ever scanned a QR Code?

People browse inventory here at the dealership at times we are not here, Sundays or evenings after we’ve left. While we love the visits and are pleased you’ve thought of us when you had a minute; we can certainly see that standing around outside a dealership all alone searching for information on your phone could be kind of a bust.

Woodland Secondary School Basketball Team raised $1,820 with a total of 91 test drives taken in a number of New Ford and Lincoln products: Check out our Facebook Photo Album of the event!

As seen in the Nanaimo Daily News:

Nanaimo’s Steve Marshall Ford raised more than $1,800 for the Woodlands Secondary School’s senior girls basketball team in a unique fundraiser held last weekend.

The “Drive 1 4ur School” fundraiser saw the car company give $20 to the basketball team for every test drive that was taken in their cars during the event.

Carl MacDonald, coach of the basketball team, said there were 91 test drives taken and he really appreciates Steve Marshall Ford and the company’s contribution to the team.

Sherdan White, the company’s promotions manager, said the idea was to put more people behind the wheels of Ford vehicles in the hopes they will buy.
