Executive Summary: Live Dealership Event Operations at a Glance

Goal: Achieve seamless, high-engagement automotive dealership events using Octoport’s livestream toolkit, while maximizing customer interaction and lead conversion through unified analytics and AI-powered tools.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before starting the live dealership event process on Octoport, ensure you meet the following criteria:

• Active Octoport Subscription: Your dealership must have an active subscription to Octoport and access to the Octo Live, Octo Agent, and Data Dashboard modules.
• Social Media Integration: Social media accounts (e.g., TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp) must be properly linked to Octoport for content publishing and engagement.
• Basic Hardware: Ensure access to a smartphone, stable internet connectivity, and, for advanced features, the AI audio dongle (for script and voice automation).

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Configure Your Livestream Event in Octoport

Objective: Prepare a professional, automated livestream event with minimal manual setup using the Octo Live module.

Action:

1. Log in to the Octoport web platform.

2. Select the Octo Live module.

3. Bind the relevant social media account for event broadcasting.

4. Download the Aimotion streaming application as prompted.

   Key Tip: Always verify that the social media account is correctly bound and permissions are granted, as missed connections are a leading cause of failed streams.

Step 2: Generate and Customize Livestream Scripts

Objective: Deliver engaging, on-brand content using AI-generated, localized scripts and voices for vehicle showcases.

Action:

1. Open the Aimotion streaming app.

2. Use the script generation tool: select car brand, model, and preferred AI voice (including Localization options).

3. Adjust livestream parameters such as duration and script details (e.g., gender, language, talking speed).

4. Save and review the script for accuracy and brand alignment.

   Key Tip: For model comparisons or multi-vehicle events, create parallel scripts to streamline live transitions and audience engagement.

Step 3: Launch and Operate the Livestream Event

Objective: Execute the event with real-time audience engagement, automated inquiry handling, and Lead Generation.

Action:

1. Connect the AI audio dongle (if voice automation is used).

2. Start the livestream through both Octoport and the social media platform.

3. Use a secondary device to monitor audience questions and engagement.

4. Octo Agent will provide automated, context-aware responses to audience DMs and inquiries.

5. Capture leads via multiple integrated forms (e.g., PM, Blue Form, Yellow Form) and track responses in real time.

   Key Tip: Take advantage of Octo Live’s unwanted keyword restriction to maintain brand safety and compliance during public sessions.

Step 4: Analyze and Optimize Event Performance

Objective: Assess event outcomes, audience engagement, and lead conversion using the Data Dashboard.

Action:

1. After ending the livestream, access the Data Dashboard within Octoport.

2. Review metrics such as video views, engagement rates, leads acquired, and conversion results across all channels.

3. Use performance insights to refine future event scripts, Customer Engagement tactics, and lead follow-up processes.

   Key Tip: Share key analytics with the brand acquisition team to identify top-performing content and optimize allocation of future marketing resources.
