Skilled Trades Social Media Marketing

• Unlike consumer goods, skilled trades are based solely on circumstance. While people are scrolling through their social media it’s not likely they will see your ad and think “Oh I need that at this exact moment” instead, our marketing techniques involve social media posts that stay relevant, informative, and up to date with the people in your service area.. With this unique strategy of relevance, consistency, and value your followers will become familiar with your name. When they find themselves in need of  a skilled trade service, they know exactly who they will want in their corner. At Spot on Solutions we can help you plan and strategize social media posts with content that is not only relatable but informative to  your customers. These posts still serve as an ad for your business without seeming overwhelmingly “sales-y”. They create a rapport that is unmatched. This is the very first step in engaging with customers on social media and is paramount to your success.. *BONUS: Our current clients have had great success with our strategy for scheduling social media posts.
• Once your content has been created and is live on your account, it’s time for the real fun to begin- authentic connection with real customers in real time. We love coaching you on how to create engaging captions and prompts that encourage comments from your followers, which is critical for engaging and growing relationships with potential clients in your service area and beyond. Once people start to read and respond to your posts, you can begin to develop and foster those vital relationships. When you respond to comments, it can make customers feel seen, heard, and valued. Any time you can give that type of recognition to someone, it will build relationships based on mutual trust and respect and that in turn will create repeat business. Even if the person commenting does not need your services, they are likely to recommend you to someone they know who does, simply because of the engagement you made on social media.  Consistent engagement tells the social media platform’s algorithm that people in your service area WANT to see more of YOU!
