Improved Access & Convenience Of Service Department Coupons Is A Revenue Generating Powerhouse!

TEXT2DRIVE™ is a sales and marketing solution tailored to the needs of both dealerships and customers. The first of its kind in the automotive marketplace years ago, the tool facilitates seamless communication with customers, automating many tasks to free up your time and manpower. Among these features is TEXTcoupons, a functionality that allows you to deliver offers to customers’ smartphones.

94% of consumers prefer to work with dealers that can text message. Furthermore, text messaging generates a 98% open rate.

Save time by sending coupons to all customers simultaneously, trim marketing costs and extend the reach of offers by eliminating the need to print coupons. Customers will appreciate the convenience of carrying and presenting coupons on their phone instead of printing them.

If you are looking to bolster revenue generated by your service department, TEXT2DRIVE is the ideal solution. The incredible outcome revealed in this case study from Hawkinson Nissan demonstrates how TEXTcoupons drove a spike in revenue from redeemed service department coupons.

Using the TEXT2DRIVE coupon widget on their website for an oil and filter change, Hawkinson Nissan saw its repair order redemption rate soar to 41.60% – an increase of 59.76%! This promotion generated an additional $168,248.70 in revenue for the dealership in just 9-months.

MAKING THE CUSTOMER’S LIFE EASIER SHOWS THEM YOU CARE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE

In this day and age, customers do not want the hassle of printing coupons from a dealership’s website or carrying physical coupons around. Email campaigns are proving less effective for marketing purposes than they once were, as inboxes are besieged with emails and promotional messages are likely to end up lost in a spam folder.

So, when you give your customers the option to receive and redeem offers on their smartphones – which they already take everywhere – your customers will see that you respect their time and realize it is valuable.

And TEXTcoupons will make your life and your team’s life easier, as well, with the following capabilities:

• Every interaction is archived permanently
• Records are easily accessible in the dealer interface
• You can quickly analyze real-time reports
• Double opt-in ensures that recipients are valid and engaged
