Connecting with Customers

Best of the 2015 SocialCRM Blog

The SocialCRM team is always working hard to find new and innovative ways to help our auto repair shop customers grow their businesses. In 2015, we introduced many product features and enhancements, with a focus on helping our shop owners understand the importance of showing gratitude and saying thank you to their consumers.

Features such as thank-you emails, consumer review opportunities and our integrated SocialCRM-Manager SE Dashboard Report play key roles in helping shops connect with customers so they have the opportunity to show gratitude, even if it’s just a simple “thanks for your business” message.

Before we get too far into 2016, let’s take a look back at some of the blog posts in 2015 that followed this important theme of connecting and showing gratitude (click the headlines below to read the full blog posts):
