I'm new small auto glass company and I'm just curious on some of the best ways to advertise and network
Local chamber of commerce and networking groups seem like a great way to start. Also make sure you have a website up and running (perhaps you can use Square's appointment solution)... and then you can setup place pages on Bing, Google, Apple & Yelp.
I think it depends on where you are in your arc ... early on, we did a lot of posts on "what's happening" groups on Facebook. Since ours is more visual (Permanent Makeup), my wife creates a post everyday on Instagram. We do paid advertisement on Facebook and Instagram and we see a high correlation to bookings ... slack on running adds, next month could be light in bookings. She also has but effort in getting good google reviews. She asks everyone when they leave to do a review and she has almost 3x the other competitors in the area and we hear from customers that makes a difference when people are picking a place.
Congrats on your new business!
1. Google business listing + add images, request reviews
2. Yelp - do the same as Google
3. I love my car sticker with my business info on it
4. Run ads on Nextdoor!
5. Record behind the scenes or a day in the life for Instagram/Tiktok!
