Social media isn’t just for trendy businesses anymore. Laundromats can benefit just as much from an online presence. The average person spends over five hours a day scrolling, so if you’re not posting, you’re missing out on valuable laundromat advertising opportunities.

Setting up a page is easy, but turning it into a tool that attracts and engages customers is another story. That’s where Suds Digital comes in. Unlike other advertising agencies, we work exclusively with laundromats, so we know what your customers want and how to attract them.

Below, learn about some social media marketing ideas you can use to bring more customers through your doors while growing your online presence.

Laundromat Content Creation Ideas

Content scheduling and consistency are super important, so try challenging yourself to post every day for a week. Here are some ideas to get the ball rolling:

Short-Form Video Content

Short-form video content on Instagram and TikTok is more popular than ever. Posting such videos is an easy way to get your name out there right away without much commitment or spending. It doesn’t even have to be professionally produced — authenticity speaks volumes.

Try scrolling for a bit, paying attention to any social media contests and challenges you see. Once you find a trend you like, get your employees involved. A fun or creative take on a trend could turn into a meme, help people connect with your brand, or even go viral.

User-Generated Content Campaigns

Another great way to engage with your customers on social media is to start a user-generated content campaign. One idea that works well is asking people to post their most impressive laundry transformations.

Challenge people to share before-and-after photos of their laundry piles and vote on who has the most impressive. As an extra incentive, reward the winner with a gift card or coupon.

For even more visibility, create a unique hashtag that customers can use in their posts.

Build a Community Around Your Laundromat

Social media isn’t just about promoting your business. It’s also a way to build relationships with your customers and make your laundromat feel like a valued part of the community.

One of the best ways to increase community engagement and brand storytelling is by sharing real customer experiences. Feature longtime regulars, highlight funny or heartwarming customer interactions, or post testimonials from people who love your services.
