CRM use Facebook to communicate
29th March 2010 @ 10:29am
CRM is the leading manager of independent student accommodation in the UK and use Formoda for their online promotion and website development.
One of their most important developments in the last 12 months has been the Facebook and Twitter pages set up for them by Formoda. Enabling them to communicate in new ways with their existing and potential tenants.
Formoda set up these pages on behalf of CRM and then they are maintained and updated by the CRM managers in each location and each uses them in different ways. CRM Dundee post pictures and events to engage their tenants and to get feedback and information they require. CRM Bristol are promoting their new state of the art accommodation and encouraging visitors for their show flat which is now open. The recently renamed Urbanest London are using Facebook and Twitter to drive potential tenants to the CRM website to use the online booking system.
Formoda Director, Simon Dolley said "While we may not all use social media like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, I think we need to realise the potential they can offer in the business world. They can drive people to your website, help you to communicate with your clients and people they know and even re-establish contacts. I recently had contact via LinkedIn from a client I used to work with at a previous company, they felt they were no longer receiving the service they needed and could we help them at Formoda. That would not have happened without them finding me via LinkedIn."
If you would like to discuss how social media could work for your business please contact us and we would be happy to chat.
