It’s no secret that social media is an absolute must for any kind of business. Yes, even for Pest Control businesses like yours.
People use social media as a search engine to connect them with the Exterminator they need and/or want.
No surprise here! Once they’ve found you on social media, the customer can easily get all the information they need including contact, hours, and reviews. It’s the simplest way for them to communicate with you and for you to establish that critical first point of contact.
However, if your business does not have any kind of social media presence, it’s like you simply don’t exist since you won’t show up in their search. You’ll miss out on a ton of potential business as customers will pass over you and instead, give your competition a call.
Social media allows you to stay engaged with your client base which strengthens their loyalty and ensures they keep coming back.
Social media is the easiest way to keep the conversation going with your clients as soon as they walk out the door. Regularly posting content will strengthen their loyalty and prevent them from seeking out your competitor.
That said, it’s extremely important that you regularly post. A page that’s rarely or never updated sends a big, loud warning signal that your business is not operational or that it’s poorly managed. In turn, hurting your business’ reputation.
Social media is a critical driver of “word of mouth” advertising and can quickly gain tons of attention to your business.
Every time your current following engages with your posts, it increases the likelihood that their friends and connections will see your content as well. With word of mouth being the most powerful form of advertising as people are more likely to trust the recommendations of others, social media offers an easy and cost-effective way to increase your business’ exposure.
Before you say it, we know what you’re thinking.
Between bouncing from one pest control client to the next, there’s probably very little time for you to think about social media.
Creating social media posts used to be a time consuming and daunting process.
You’d have to gather content ideas then create each post, one-by-one, which included uploading the photo, writing the caption, and then fiddling with the post settings in order to schedule them. Then you’d need to repeat this process on each of your social media platforms.
Scheduling eats up a ton of time. Instead, most people create posts as they go.
Unfortunately, it completely interrupts their day. Not to mention, they’re probably posting at non-optimal times just to get something on their page. That’s only if they remember to post! More often than not, people get caught up in their day and social media completely slips their mind. Despite having the best intentions, this is how those dead social media pages come to be.
That’s not the case anymore!
From here on out, you’ll be able to schedule all your posts quickly and near effortlessly within 15 minutes.
This approach will free up your schedule so you can focus on taking the best care of your clients while fully reaping all the benefits of an active social media presence that reels in new business.
