Create Sales Leads and Increase Customer Loyalty

 

505 Text Message Marketing provides great versatility for Auto Dealerships and Auto Service Centers

 

When a customer makes the decision to purchase an automobile, often that is just the beginning of a potentially long-term relationship between the customer, the salesperson and the dealership. Essentially, the relationship only begins at the sale.

 

Buying a car is a major purchase decision and often a customer will shop around for several weeks or even months before then sign on the dotted line. Once that customer makes that buying decision with you as a salesperson or your dealership, it is the creation of a long-term relationship through ongoing maintenance and service to the vehicle, to sales referral opportunities, to the next car that customer will purchase.

 

505 Text Message Marketing can provide you with a well-rounded campaign for sales, service and customer loyalty.

What can a Text Marketing Campaign Do For Your Business?

 

505 Text's marketing campaigns put your message in your customer's hands - immediately! For your sales team, you may advertise in a local auto magazine or newspaper promoting your inventory or special incentive pricing, but it can be difficult for your ad to stand out with all the other dealerships in the same publications with very similar offers. With a 505 Text-powered mobile marketing campaign, you can reach hundreds of those customers in seconds. You can create a campaign inviting customers to enter for a chance to win a $100 gas card by opting-in to your unique keyword. This promotion will make your ad stand out and grab the attention of individuals looking at these ads - and chances are that if they are looking at an auto magazine or that section of the newspaper, they may be in the market for a new car. Now that you have these individuals in your database, you can send out a text blast promoting special financing offers, special values on trade-ins or special rebate incentives.

 

Even when a customer makes the decision to purchase their vehicle from your dealership - they are not bound to have that vehicle serviced there.  Ongoing maintenance and service are additional revenue-generating opportunities for a dealership and service center that can't be passed up. Creating a VIP Customer Loyalty Program with oil-change discounts, scheduled maintenance discounts and service reminders can enhance a long-term relationship with your customer and provide ongoing loyalty.

 

Our web-based software also allows you to plan and conduct coupon campaigns, a popular and quickly growing solution that is portable, individually targeted, and best of all, paperless.

 

505 Text Message Marketing creates opportunities for car dealerships and service centers with promotional ideas that you never dreamed possible - that can be created instantly. Instant action means instant results. Our (SMS) text messaging web-based software is simple to use, allowing you to focus on developing a powerful, cost effective marketing strategy that takes advantage of the latest technology.
