You’re probably collecting email addresses already, to let people know when their car is ready for pick-up. But you can use those emails for so much more! You can send out newsletters that tell them what’s new at your shop, what upcoming events you’ll be hosting, and what seasonal deals they can take advantage of.
And from there you’re just a hop, step and a jump away from full-on social networking.
