Online Defensive Driving School, I DRIVE SAFELY, Reaches 75,000 Facebook Fans

I DRIVE SAFELY, the largest online defensive driving school in the United States, celebrated its 75,000th Facebook fan on Wednesday, August 29th, making it the largest Facebook fan page in the online driving school industry.

Online defensive driving school, I DRIVE SAFELY, reached a huge social media milestone when it reached its 75,000th Facebook fan this week, more than any in the online driving space.

“I DRIVE SAFELY has always prided itself on being the industry leader when it comes to technology and social media is no different”, says Peter Green, I DRIVE SAFELY Director of Marketing.”We are very proud of this milestone and are already looking forward to reaching the 100,000 fan count”.

Currently I DRIVE SAFELY offers a 20% discount on its online defensive driving course for becoming a Facebook fan, which has helped tremendously in their social media growth. The defensive driving school has also had success in keeping their fans engaged around what most would consider a relatively unengaging subject matter, traffic and road safety, averaging hundreds of likes and shares per post.

“Over the last year, I DRIVE SAFELY has embraced social media as a way to interact with our customers. We’ve created a Facebook page that is fun and lighthearted but also informative and helpful”, says John McGrane, I DRIVE SAFELY Social Media Manager. “Our fans can ‘like’ and share post about awkward parking situations and funny road signs or ask course-specific questions on our Wall. They can also take advantage of our 24/7 live chat support app that is built right into our Facebook page if they need help with their account”.

In an industry that has seemingly struggled to socially connect with its customers, I DRIVE SAFELY is leading the way. Currently the San Diego,CA based online driving school is working to expand its social media presence into other properties including twitter, YouTube, tumblr and Pinterest.
