How many leads are you losing after-hours?

Depending on how much interest there is here, I’ll consider teaching some other dealers how to do this. Basically what I’m doing is putting a flyer inside of each car new or used, which lets the shopper send a text message to get vehicle info, sale price, etc. All of this is automated, track-able for future follow-up, super-easy to setup/mange with Wordpress, plus it costs around $70 total, one time for the online phone # and application plug-ins. You can change the SMS message the shopper gets via the posts section in Wordpress, they can be unique per each car as well. You can have them text things like “Auto1” or “Altima4”, etc.

Total time to setup: 10 min, Adding cars: 1 hour, depending on inventory size (3-sec per car).
