Timing Is Everything: Use Facebook Insights to Schedule
Your Posts for Maximum Customer Engagement

Some may say timing is everything in life. Well, they might be on to something. By now you might have realized that social media, especially Facebook, has become a standard way to communicate with your auto repair customers. Creating valuable content and engaging with your customers through posts are more important than ever. Let’s face it; if you are not doing it, your competitors are.

Okay, so you’ve posted here and there, but did you know that according to Louise Meyers, a social media guru, you should be posting a MINIMUM of three times a week? If you just broke a sweat and said to yourself, “Minimum?…,” don’t fear. You can get away with the minimum; just make each post count. After all, your SocialCRM shop marketing service is already taking care of one of those posts a week. There are a number of ways to maximize the effectiveness of each post, but of these, timing is often most overlooked.
