Meet Social Studio: Scroll-Stopping Posts Made From the Cars Already on Your Lot

Facebook and Instagram are where buyers are scrolling, and the dealership that posts good-looking content every day stays top of mind. The trouble is that nobody on the sales floor has time to open a design app, hunt for templates and resize photos for five different feeds.

Social Studio fixes that. It’s a new add-on built right into MyOnlineInventory that turns the vehicles you’ve already listed into polished, branded social media posts. Pick a car, answer a few simple questions, and about 30 seconds later you have an image that’s ready to post, email or text. No design skills, no extra software, no stock photos.

Four tools, one place

Social Studio covers the four kinds of posts dealers actually make week after week:

• Photo collages: pick your best three to six photos and Social Studio arranges them into a magazine-style layout (Feature + 2, Grid of 4, Feature + 4 or Mosaic of 6). Your photos are never cropped or covered by heavy borders.
• Holiday and themed looks: Christmas snow, Fourth of July fireworks, a fall foliage road or a neon city night, created by AI around your real vehicle photo.
• Promo cards: one strong photo, one bold headline and your price. Choose Just Arrived, Price Drop, SOLD!, Weekend Special, Low Miles, One Owner, Financing Available, Make an Offer, or type your own.
• Customer delivery photos: upload the photo from the delivery and Social Studio adds a branded “Congratulations!” banner with the customer’s name and their year, make and model. Every sale becomes social proof.

Your car stays your car

Most AI image tools redraw the whole picture, so the truck in the post ends up with the wrong grille, an extra door handle or a paint color that isn’t on your lot. A buyer who drives over to see it will notice. Social Studio was built so that never happens:

• The AI only creates the scene around your vehicle. Your real photo is kept exactly as you shot it.
• Every word is exact. Prices, phone numbers, names and vehicle titles are set by Social Studio in clean type, never drawn by the AI. When the AI letters a headline into the scene, it’s proofread automatically and swapped for clean type if anything is off, so there’s no misspelled text and no invented features.

A builder anyone on your team can use

Social Studio is designed for the salesperson with five minutes between customers, not for a marketing department. Instead of a crowded screen full of settings, it asks one simple question at a time: what to make, which vehicle, which photos, which look and which headline. Your choices stay visible along the top, and you can tap any of them to go back and change it. While your image is being made, more than twenty rotating lines like “Your marketing team is hard at work…” keep you company.

27 looks for every season and sale

• Holidays: New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
• Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
• Sales events: Tax refund season, Big Game weekend, Back to school and Grand opening.
• Backgrounds and moods: Studio showroom, Sunset drive, City at night, Mountain road, Beach, Desert adventure and Country road.

The right size for every feed

Every image is built at the exact size the platform expects, so nothing gets chopped off after you post it:

• Square post for Instagram and Facebook (1080 × 1080)
• Portrait for Instagram (1080 × 1350)
• Story / Reel (1080 × 1920)
• Wide link for Facebook and X (1200 × 630)

Share it the moment it’s done

• Post to Facebook: connect your dealership’s Facebook Page once, then post with a caption in one click.
• Email it: send a branded email with the image to a shopper, then add them as a lead in one tap so the conversation doesn’t get lost.
• Text it from your phone: scan a QR code and the image opens on your own phone, ready to text from your own number. No texting service to buy. Dealers with a Twilio number can connect it instead.
• Download the full-resolution file for Instagram, TikTok, Google Business Profile, your website or a window sign.

A library that remembers everything

Every image you make is saved to your dealership’s Social Studio library in secure cloud storage. Anyone on the team can come back later to download it again, reshare it or use it as a starting point for the next one.

Why it matters for your dealership

• Consistency wins on social. Dealers who stand out post often, and their posts look like they came from the same store. Social Studio cuts a 30-minute design job down to about a minute.
• It builds trust. Customer delivery photos are the most powerful content a dealership can post, and the easiest to forget.
• It’s honest advertising. Because your vehicle photos are never altered, what shoppers see in the post is what they’ll find on the lot.
• Everything stays in one place. Inventory, photos, leads and now social content all live in MyOnlineInventory. No exporting, no extra logins, no second subscription to manage.
