Outdoor Deck Remodel

Now that autumn has officially arrived, many homeowners are taking measures to prepare their homes for the elements that the fall and winter months so often bring. One of the most common measures is to remodel an outdoor porch or deck so as to prepare the wood for the coming rain and snow. This serves as a great opportunity for construction companies to gain business. Do you work for a construction company? Now you can use social media to reach out to customers looking to remodel or refurbish their wooden outdoor porches or decks. Through social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, you can upload before and after photos and videos of your past work in order to show customers how much you can help them improve their home’s exterior in the coming months. Let Social Mavens help your company expand your customer base by showing you how to take advantage of these social media opportunities.

Home Construction & Social Media

With the month of August fast approaching, many families will be finalizing plans for summer vacations to take place before their kids go back to school. Because they will be spending a good deal of time away from the house, several of these same families will simultaneously be making plans for major renovations to be done to their homes. Through the use of social media, your construction company can gain a leg up on the competition in order to capitalize upon this great opportunity for new business. By posting blogs, photos, and videos detailing your company’s past remodeling work, you can show these families the many possibilities for adding value to their homes through remodeling. Let Social Mavens help your company display the type of new-and-improved house any family would be excited to return to after their summer vacation ends.

Contractors Get Help From Social Media

There are published studies stating that 82% of home remodeling and improvement decisions are made by the wife in a marriage.  Therefore, in my opinion, the construction industry should be trying to use the “gossip” potential of these house wives to communicate with each other.  What better way to get in touch with the decision maker then through social media! Let Social Mavens (www.socialmavens.com) help a contractor to take over a neighborhood, so to speak. There are a variety of ways for a construction company to use social media tools to increase sales.

A second thought for contractors is “how would you like to show the progress of a home remodel or any construction project from the comfort of your own desk at work?” This is simply accomplished through the use of photographs, videos and some popular social media sites. I believe this is a huge selling tool.  The technology is out there and some of the contractors I see are doing it.  They can not say enough about the benefits it has produced.

Social Medial Tools for your Business

The world of Social Media offers so many options. One of the largest social media networks is Facebook and almost all companies see growth from a notable Facebook presence. Companies can advertise and promote themselves, represented either through business pages or business fan pages. Also, by developing a customer base through fan pages, companies have direct and immediate access to consumers for advertising sales, special deals, and new products. 

Twitter is a social media site that allows users to “tweet” short updates, it is an incredibly valuable site for marketing. Businesses that have a Twitter account can be “followed” by their fan and customer bases so that anything your business has to say is sent directly to them. Twitter provides a quick and easy way to inform the public of any business developments, from promoting new products to offering special deals for Twitter followers, encouraging potential customers to follow your company. 

A company blog can give your business its own distinctive voice and additionally allows your customers and fans to interact with you and your products. Through a blog, companies can share anything, ranging from press releases to videos. An incredible and virtually free advertising outlet, blogs can be used to share all media. 

LinkedIn is an essential site for all companies since it is a business-oriented social networking outlet. Providing a complete profile for your company, you can link to all employees and build a network of existing customers and potential customers. Through its system of “recommendations,” LinkedIn can provide your company with credibility and increase your appeal to new customers. 

Your company’s participation in social media should not be limited by these sites—it is important to build a strong online presence by participating in industry blogs, joining local networks, and interacting with customers. Let us help you with your Social Media strategy at www.socialmavens.com.
