e-Marketing Sherpa’s Virtual Marketing Manager

What is a Virtual Marketing Manager? A digital marketing, advertising, communication and customer retention expert assigned to an auto body shop to help that auto body shop increase customer and car counts, revenues and profits through the use of proven digital marketing tools, technologies and techniques.

Why Does an Auto Body Shop Need a Virtual Marketing Manager? Most shop owners and managers are busy working with insurance companies to process claims and making sure that the vehicles being repaired, are fixed right and delivered on time. They just don’t have the time, energy and expertise to perform the type of marketing, advertising, communications and retention activities required to be successful in the 21^st century. Our Virtual Marketing Managers allow shop owners and managers to continue doing what they do best, while we do what we do best, active digital marketing, advertising, communications and customer retention!

What Does a Virtual Marketing Manager Do?  He/she performs active digital marketing, advertising, promotions, communications and customer retention activities between your auto body shop and your customers, perspective customers, insurance agents, dealerships, fleets, etc. Unlike “passive” web site, search engine, and other on-line marketing where your business waits for someone to find you, our Virtual Marketing Managers “reach out and touch” your customers, prospects, agents, dealerships, fleets, and others through email, text messaging, digital ads, promos, e-coupons, newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, etc…

Our Virtual Marketing Managers help your shop build a priceless customer database by importing data from third party systems and your existing shop management system into a powerful digital marketing, advertising, communications and customer retention platform. They even setup up a system where every estimate your shop writes automatically imports into a digital marketing, advertising, communications and retention database.

Our Virtual Marketing Managers actively market, communicate, promote and advertise your business to previous customers, their family and friends, unsold estimates and assignments, local businesses, agents, as well as consumers that “find” your business through their website searches and phone app downloads!

For example, our Virtual Marketing Managers send out a branded Thank You email (approved by you) 1, 2, or 3 days after your shop delivers a vehicle. This branded email includes a short survey (approved by you) that results in positive reviews and ratings you can post on your website and Facebook page.
