Authentic Customer Reviews
Great customer reviews validate the excellence of your business. With SocialCRM, you can generate more reviews at a faster rate. And that’s just the beginning. The service includes verified customer reviews and a word-of-mouth marketing strategy that encourages your happy customers to share their review with others.
Automated Service Reminders
Research shows that people are more likely to attend their appointments when they receive a reminder. SocialCRM sends automated reminder emails to all your consumers, so you can reduce no-shows without having to manually keep track of every upcoming visit. You can use the time you save on more important tasks in the shop.
Thank-You Emails
A simple thank you can have a dramatic impact on customer loyalty. Your customer service is a critical part of your business, and that includes following up after your customer has visited your shop. SocialCRM automatically sends a thank-you email to every invoice completed every day, making it effortless to make your customers feel appreciated.
Targeted Email Promotions
Social media sites are great, but email is still where many people can mix their personal lives with their work lives. Emails give you the space to include messages and pictures in a way that is more convenient than on Facebook and Twitter. This is where you can deliver special deals directly to a customer, instead of posting something on social media and hoping that it is seen by your followers. Email marketing gives an extra edge to your auto repair shop.
Email Matching Service
If you’re missing email addresses for your customers, we will find them for you. We jumpstart your marketing program by doing an initial email match when you sign up and then do a match every quarter to keep your customer database up to date. Please review our subscription policy.
Social Media
Engaging with customers is crucial to building relationships and a loyal customer base that will spread the word about their positive auto repair experience at your shop. The “social” part of the SocialCRM amplifies that word of mouth through social media and search engine friendly review content to be sure that consumers find you first when they search for auto repair services.
Manager SE Integration
The SocialCRM service integrates with the Manager™ SE shop management system to give you automotive CRM tools at the point of sale. You can quickly recognize and engage with your most valuable customers when it really counts. You can be sure they will be impressed when you not only remember their name but also thank them for their positive review.
Online Appointment Scheduling
With the Online Appointment request feature, your customers have three options to request an appointment at their convenience – even at midnight! With the click of a button, they can submit an appointment request on your shop’s website, from an email you sent to them or from their personal OwnerAutoSite.com vehicle history website.
OwnerAutoSite.com
Included in your SocialCRM package, OwnerAutoSite.com is a web-based loyalty service that provides your customers with personalized information about their vehicle(s) in a convenient, easily accessible website. The OwnerAutoSite.com vehicle pages are automatically created with your shop’s branding, increasing your automotive digital marketing in the process. Every customer in your database receives their own website with their vehicle’s service history, scheduled maintenance, appointment scheduling, and consumer-focused auto repair information.
