The following are just some of the ways car dealers are already using SMS to bring in those much needed sales…
-
Promotion: Texting prospects about upcoming open days, launches, events and special offers
-
Competitions: Used in such a way as to gather opted in subscibers for mailing lists to be used in future promotions
-
Enquiries: By publishing a ‘textline‘ with their contact details dealers have been able to extend their office hours for potential customers.
With over 80% of adults in the UK owning mobile phones, text has quickly become the preferred method of contact for many. It really is a great way to quickly easily and cheaply get an effective marketing message directly into the hands of your prospects.
“We were delighted with the FASTSMS campaign we ran recently, when we sent a message on a Friday evening to existing customers to advise them of a special short term offer we had available on a number of new cars. The response was amazing and by 4.00pm on the Sunday we had sold 5 new cars and by the Tuesday this had risen to 9 as a direct result of the SMS invitation. Stunning ! Thank you!”
