Phone repair shop owners in Boston — what marketing works locally?
As a phone repair shop owner in Boston, I'm trying to figure out the best local marketing strategies to attract more customers. I've been using Google Ads, but I'm not sure if it's worth the investment compared to social media promotions. I've seen some shops partner with local businesses, but I'm curious about what has worked for others. Any insights on what marketing tactics have brought you success or what pitfalls to avoid?

In my experience, partnering with local businesses has been a game-changer. I teamed up with a few coffee shops and co-working spaces to offer discounts to their customers. It created a great referral system. Additionally, I found success with targeted Facebook ads that focus on specific neighborhoods. The key is to use localized content that resonates with the community. I also recommend using a software like RepairShopr to manage your marketing efforts and track what campaigns bring in the most traffic.
I've primarily relied on Google My Business and Yelp to attract customers. Make sure your listings are optimized with updated photos and customer reviews. While Google Ads can be effective, I've found that organic search through good SEO practices has helped maintain a steady stream of customers. Just be consistent with posting and engaging with customers to build trust.
