You’re probably saying to yourself that you’re too busy. You don’t have time to be on Facebook or Twitter. Why should you even bother with social media? How can social media help my construction company? You no longer have a choice whether or not to do social media. The question now is how well will you do it?
In fact, according to a most recent survey by the Construction Marketing Association, no construction company plans on reducing their marketing budget for social media.
Here are three reasons why your company needs to have a presence on social media:
Construction Companies Need Social Media
1. Expand Your Network
The construction industry is all about relationships, and social media is a great way to connect with others. It’s also a great way to keep in contact with your existing customers, associations, suppliers, and even potential customers. When was the last time you reminded your customers that you were here?
2. Engage With the Industry
Become a subject-matter expert in your field by posting articles related to your industry. If you have time, write a blog and share tips and advice. Social media allows you to announce new products, service or new hires. Hashtags are becoming the evolution of search. Leverage and promote hashtags in your social media platforms that relate to your trade such as #HVAC or #Roofing.

Showcase your work through video and pictures. Post testimonials and case studies about projects you have completed or customers you have helped.
