MacGyver Marketing Strategy Example

AnciraAutoGroup. – Domains Secured

Used Knowem to check availability of AnciraAutoGroup as a URL sub-domain on 120 popular Social Media sites… Premium Automated Username Signup It would have been inefficient and far too time consuming to have an Ancira employee register “Ancira Auto group” with 120 social media sites… Knowem does it for you!

Use Knowem to ensure that your primary dealer name doesn’t fall victim to "Cyber Squatting" or social media identity theft – Knowem ensures that your primary corporate identity and vanity URL is under your control and secured from unauthorized use.
