2019 The Year of IG Marketing
Looking at a new year for all of us, DJ and Marshall want to discuss the most relevant form of marketing for Detailers for 2019. With out a doubt, that would be Instagram!! So why Instagram? What makes the platform so appealing? What should you absolutely not do on IG? What should you definitely do to maximize your marketing efforts? Instagram is so much more then posting pictures and videos. When done correctly, your marketing efforts can bring in some good revenue streams by setting yourself up as the local detailing expert. Instagram Marketing is so important that we brought on two Detailers that are crushing in on IG to talk about how they do it. First up is Ronald from All Star Mobile Auto Detailing (IG handle: all_star_detail) who came on to talk about "stories" and how he uses them to grow his business. Secondly, Josh from RAD Auto Detailing (IG Handle: RAD_detailing_edmond) came on to talk about his success with "posts." Ronald, tosses back some Corona Platinum, while Josh tests out a Chocolate Habanero Stout. DJ grabbed us a brown ale from Rogue and a Chocolate Stout from Sam Adams. Grab yourself a Pint and Enjoy
