QR Codes for Automotive Text Message Marketing Campaigns



Text Message Marketing with QR Codes



Text Message Marketing is a great way for an Automotive Dealership to promote inventory and service to your valued customers.

Social Media Index for Dealerships

A great Social Media Campaign for Automotive Dealers requires a bunch of essential components.

The Search Results you see are not always the results your potential customer sees?

You want to see how you rank for your name or your business name and how you rank for the keywords and phrase you target. But are you looking at the real results?

Have you ever looked to see how you ranked on the Google or Yahoo? You typed in a keyword or phrase and found yourself right away. However, when someone else searches for you, you are no where to be found. I’m not talking about results coming from someone else’s computer. WOW, I always thought I was on the first page?

I’m… Continue

Mr. Auto Dealer are all your dead internet leads that you purchased really dead?

I have concluded my research and the bottom line is that dead leads are still possible car buyers and here is why..

Many dealerships do not have the time or the manpower to follow up on every internet lead that they purchase... when they first arrive in your CRM most finance managers or BDC staff will call e-mail or send out letters trying to get the customer to the dealership but 90% of the leads become stale real fast because of many different factors including poor phone skills or not… Continue
