Before letting you go, we are going to give you one last sneak peak when it comes to this Flashback Friday article.

Social Media

Maintaining an active social media presence is one of the best things you can do for your food truck. Social media allows you to reach out to new customers, stay in touch with your biggest fans, and provide great service to everyone who follows your truck. These apps help you easily maintain your social media accounts while you’re on the go.

Hootsuite

Hootsuite makes it easy for you to schedule messages across various social channels and to stay up-to-date on all of your incoming messages and mentions. You can search for conversations that mention your truck, easily add locations to your posts, and check out analytics to see how well your posts are performing. This tool is easy to use and allows FoodTruckrs to keep their social media time investment to a minimum each day.

Buffer

Buffer is our social media app of choice here at FoodTruckr—we love how easy it is to schedule posts and how the app suggests times to post for you. This tool allows you to link your Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ accounts in one place and also provides great analytic data. You can schedule up to 10 posts on each social media profile at a time for free, or you can purchase the upgraded plan to get unlimited posts.

Echofon

Echofon has separate apps for Facebook and Twitter users (and the Facebook app is only available on iOS), but if you’re only using one social network, it could be a good choice for you. This tool has a couple features we really love such as keeping your unread messages in sync between multiple devices and allowing you to set a sleep period so that you can turn off the noise of social media when your truck has headed home for the night.
