But as today's perpetually connected consumers become more challenging to reach, Pep Boys set out to be at the forefront of innovation (rather than falling behind the times). In store innovation (digital lounge), revolutionized traditional marketing tactics (direct mail) and a connected digital marketing program are fueling their drive to connect with today's perpetually connected consumers now and on the road ahead.

Editor's Notes
- In 1921, way before the internet, let alone Facebook or Twitter, four Navy buddies pooled together $800 to open a single auto parts supply store in Philadelphia.
- Now – more than 90 years later and over 700 stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico – Pep Boys has built a heritage brand that customers feel really good about
- The priority is the customer
- It’s about merging offline & online. It used to be in silo’s of broadcast & digital, now it’s marketing which includes: TV, radio, Google, Display, YouTube, twitter, etc. See chicken scratch image below.

- Pep Boys’ Search & Response activation involves reaching out to people on Twitter tweeting about certain pre-determined search terms such as “Oil change” “Tires” “New Tires” “Car Battery” “Broken Down Car” “Car Mechanic” etc. We reach out to these individuals and let them know how Pep Boys can help coupled with a coupon or special offer for the product or service in questionThe objective is to build awareness of Pep Boys and drive people in-store or online to use Pep Boys for their car product and services needThe key to S&R is being real time and reaching out to people when they are tweeting about these things so that Pep Boys is inserting itself in a relevant conversation with relevant coupons/promosS&R has been going well, we began S&R back in March 2013 and continue to grow the number of individuals we reach out to each monthAlmost all responses of people who get back to use are positive– people being thankful for us provided them with the info/solution they need and a coupon/promo
