NNeil P. Do you hang your own work? I have a bid due Friday.
Social platforms for
metal and glass.
A rail going in. A frameless door set. A curtain wall lite on the crane at 7am. Your foreman’s phone holds the best marketing you own.
Without Social platforms
Empty pages
The last post is years old. A buyer checks it and wonders if you’re still open.
No captions
Nobody on a lift is writing posts. The photo of that powder coat finish dies in the camera roll.
Wrong room
Homeowners browse gates and shower doors on Instagram. Estimators and architects read LinkedIn. One post doesn’t fit both.
One gate job
A line from a sample shop’s foreman, then twelve weeks of a page that homeowners and estimators both read.
A foreman sends a job photo and a line, which becomes a post on the shop’s page and three other cuts, for homeowners and for estimators, with the builder’s name left out. Sample page. The last post was 1207 days old before the work, and 4 days old after twelve weeks. 8 of 12 finished jobs were posted, and 4 held for a GC or an NDA. A 12 ft scroll gate out of our shop, in black powder coat, hung by our own crew. Hung this week in Harbor Point.

From a project manager we work with, with his yes.
Field dimensions matched the shop drawings and the crew was gone before the pavers came.

Your questions
Is social media worth it for a fabrication or glass shop?
Less than for a residential business, but an empty page still hurts when an estimator checks you. LinkedIn fits for GCs, engineers and buyers, and a few real jobs a month shows you’re busy.
What should a fabrication or glass shop post?
Finished jobs by system, finish and town, and work going in on the jobsite. Leave out a job’s name until the GC or owner says yes, and never post security glazing details or anything under an NDA.
How often should a shop post on social media?
A few real jobs a month is enough, as long as the page never looks abandoned. One line from the foreman on what went in, what finish and what town is all we need to write each post.
