Tips for Social Media Management of Your Car Service

Social media has become an indispensable part of our lives for the last couple of years. Thanks to social media, we communicate with our loved ones, keep up to date with the agenda and follow the brands we like. It offers excellent opportunities for local businesses such as car service shops. To take advantage of these opportunities, you need to manage your business' social media accounts consciously.

Why Do You Need Social Media Presence?

Most business owners may find it tedious to be present on social media at first glance. On top of the daily workload, creating content for social media may be a tiring task. However, when you start to perceive social media as a part of your job and manage your accounts in a disciplined manner, you will see that your efforts will not remain unrewarded.

The most attractive aspect of social media is that almost everyone uses it. It seems that there is no one who does not use Facebook or Instagram today. This way, you can maintain your communication with your existing customers and reach your potential customers.

Another good thing about social media is that it is free. Creating good content is the only way to improve your business' popularity on social media. Likewise, with affordable advertising budgets, you can reach large audiences on social media.

Create Contents in a Disciplined Manner

Merely having a presence on social media is not enough for your business.  To create the expected impact with your social media efforts, you need to create content regularly. To this end, you need to periodically create content calendars and stick to them.

One post in every two days would be enough for a car service shop. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to create 15 contents at the beginning of every month and set the dates to post them.  Preparing the contents to be posted throughout the month at once will make your job easier.

Utilize Social Media Publication Tools 

It may be difficult to share new content on your social media accounts every day. Fortunately, there are some tools to make it easier. After preparing your social media content calendar at the beginning of every month, you can transfer that calendar to the social media publication tool of your choice and let it automatically share your contents based on the schedule you made.

For this job, you can use Publer (https://publer.io) or Buffer (https://buffer.com).

Content Is King

For people to follow you on social media, you need to offer them valuable content. Try to create content to add value to your followers' lives.

  • Give news of your shop: Are you launching a spare parts sale campaign? Are free oil replacement days ahead? Let your followers on social media know. 
  • Inform Your Followers: Your customers use your services because of your knowledge and experience.  Therefore, sharing information on car maintenance will both make your customers' lives easier and reinforce your expert position as perceived by them. You can share information that every car owner must know, such as winter tire selection or the right coolant.

Use the Right Visuals 

Social media is a visual platform. You must share all your content with visuals. But trying to implement this advice, you will see how hard it is to create visuals.

For general visuals of your service shop, you can work with a local professional.  You can use these visuals throughout the year. However, these visuals alone will not be enough. To create your daily content, you will need to create your own visuals. The only thing you need to do is to get a mobile phone with a good camera and receive a little training on photo shooting. The Internet offers numerous relevant resources to use.

Respond to Comments 

Posting good content on social media alone is not enough. You also need to be in interaction with your followers. To do that, it is pretty important to respond to your followers' comments and messages. This is not a time-consuming task. The only thing you need to do is to try to respond to your followers' comments and messages within 24 hours.
