Car Garages: 10 Reasons to have a mobile app

A mobile app can be a powerful tool to connect with your new and existing customers. One of the key industries that can really benefit from a mobile app and utilise it as a component of their marketing strategy are car garages.

As a car garage owner, you will have the ability to instantly connect with your customers and keep them coming back to use your services on a regular basis. With this in mind let us have a look at how a mobile app can really benefit a car garage.

1. Push messages – Sending out free push notifications to all your customers who have downloaded your car garage’s mobile app is quick and easy, not to mention cheaper than text message marketing. Send out notifications of your latest deals and keep your car garage top of mind with your customers.

2. Service Listings – You are able to display and give details of your car garage’s services through the mobile app. New and existing customers will be able to view and search for the services that their car requires as well as getting a price.

3. Bookings – Allow your customers to come back for more, by allowing them to book their MOT or annual service through your car garage’s mobile app. This gives your customers the convenience of booking these services whilst on the move.

4. Get a quote – Allow your customer to submit what services they need and respond by giving them a quick quote through your car garage’s mobile app; this is a great way to help secure new business and increase your bottom line.

5. Auto Trader integration – Many car garages also sell used cars using Auto Trader. You can integrate your car garage’s Auto Trader page within the mobile app. This is a great way to increase your number of purchases and can be an easy and effective way to increase your bottom line.

6. Car Cam – Your customer will love taking photos of their cars. Your car garage’s mobile app will allow your customers to submit their photos. This would be a great way to encourage your customers to interact with your car garage.

7. Gallery – Another great way to get your customers to interact with your car garage is to encourage users to share their photos of your car garage through the mobile app. This is an effective way to get your customers to create a ‘buzz’ around your car garage.

8. Social Media – Word of mouth can be one of the most effective ways to create a ‘buzz’ about your car garage. With a mobile app, your customers are easily able to comment and rate your car garage on Facebook and Twitter. This is a great way to increase your online presence and keep your car garage at the front of your customer’s minds.

9. Loyalty – An easy and effective way to keep your customers coming back for more is to incentivise your loyalty scheme. This can be done by offering QR coupons and loyalty tabs. Your customers can redeem these vouchers easily and quickly using your car garage’s mobile app.

10. Newsletter – Allow your customers to subscribe to your email newsletter, keeping them up to date with the latest news from your car garage. This can help to keep your customers engaged and up to date with your latest deals and offers.
