Dealer Text Chat Drives Mobile Sales for Auto Dealers

Wayne, PA (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Advanced Mobile, LLC, a leader in ?Driving Mobile? through its Cars2Go Services for auto dealerships, announces the introduction of its Dealer TextChat TM platform and its 24/7 Managed Services feature. Dealer TextChat TM is the latest addition to its Cars2Go services.

With Dealer TextChat TM, auto dealers are able to have 2-way communications with customers and prospects via text message/SMS. Users can now text message the dealership?s sales or service personnel. Dealers can, in turn, send and receive text/SMS messages from the convenience of their desktop computer, smartphone, or iPad. Now, consumers have another choice in how they communicate with a car dealership.

Text chat sessions can be initiated by the user from either: a keyword and short code; an iPhone or Android App; a mobile website; the HTML dealer website. The dealer can either have one of its staff respond to the text/SMS inquiry or use the 24/7 Managed Services feature in which a trained agent will respond on behalf of the dealership. All Dealer TextChat TM communications are archived and can be exported via ADF to any dealer CRM.

For example, a consumer is on a dealer?s app or mobile website that is designed specifically for the auto dealer. The consumer chooses to ask a question about a particular vehicle via the Click to Text option. The text message arrives in the Dealer TextChat TM system. The dealer now can either have an employee respond to the inquiry or it can utilize the Managed Services in which a Cars2Go TextChat agent will respond on behalf of the dealership.

In the past, the auto dealer responded to the inquiry via a return phone call. Many customers found this more intrusive than effective and were turned off by the return phone call. With TextChat, the auto dealer can easily communicate with the customer or prospect from his desktop computer to the consumer?s cell phone.

For those dealers that do not want to have staff assigned to handle such inquiries, Cars2Go is now offering a turnkey 24/7 Managed Service solution that will handle the interaction for you. When the TextChat communication progresses to the point of a legitimate lead, the customer contact information is turned over directly to the auto dealer staff.

?The fact of the matter is that many folks simply do not want to talk on the phone these days,' said Bret Dunlap, CEO of Advanced Mobile. ?They would much prefer to text rather than talk. Dealer TextChat TM gives auto dealers the tool to engage their customers in a text dialog, but from the convenience of their PC.?

Advanced Mobile, of Wayne, Pennsylvania, is an industry leader in providing mobile solutions to auto dealers. Over 1000 auto dealers in the United States use its Cars2Go Services that include: dealer iPhone & Android apps, custom mobile web sites, text message marketing, custom QR Codes, and Dealer TextChat TM.

iLoop Mobile Partners with Locaid to Deploy Innovative Real-Time Location-Based Mobile Marketing Solution

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

iLoop Mobile (http://www.iloopmobile.com), the leading provider in mobile marketing technology and services, announced that they have selected Locaid (http://www.loc-aid.com), the world?s largest Location-as-a-Service (LaaS) company, to provide a location lookup and gateway service for their location-aware mobile marketing services.

?We believe location-based services have an appeal to brands and marketers alike. Tied to our SMS and MMS engagement strategies, iLoop Mobile continues to innovate with partners like Locaid and will continue to deploy strategies proven to drive acquisition and retention,? says Steven Gray, Chief Operating Officer.

The agreement brings together technology from Locaid?who pioneered services for real-time location for any device on any network in North America?with iLoop Mobile?s full service mobile marketing platform and services offering. Together, the companies are able to offer brands, media companies and retailers targeted location-triggered marketing promotions to nearly 234 million mobile consumers in the United States. Location-aware mobile messaging can also be used by companies for enterprise messaging for field communications and geo-aware communications using standard mobile phones.

As consumers embrace the benefits of targeted and locally aware content, offers and services, proximity marketing is becoming an increasingly important part of iLoop Mobile?s service offering. iLoop Mobile?s customers are offering segmented marketing messages that send discreet offers with relevance to the customer?s real-time location, improving conversion and redemption.

iLoop Mobile and Locaid?s partnership provides two types of location lookup options: Cell ID and Hybrid Assisted GPS (A-GPS). Cell ID provides lowest cost location lookups, while A-GPS provides higher location accuracy. Currently, iLoop Mobile?s location-based services provide location-aware segmented SMS broadcasting based on the users? location at opt-in, with the option of subsequent location lookups to verify a user?s ?home? location. Real-time location lookups can also be deployed for one-time interactions such as delivery of a mobile coupon, promotion or any location-relevant information.

Real-time location lookup and segmented messaging, also known as LBS, can be used in a wide variety of ways. LBS messages can be a simple one-time coupon/message or a combination of different consumer interactions. One-time LBS marketing message, such as an instant coupon, could also include an alert opt-in call to action, promoting a new keyword that opts the user into an LBS alert service: ?Gap coupon. 20% off jeans at Main St. store. To join Gap Saver Club reply GAPALERTS.?

?Currently, real-time targeted mobile marketing is experiencing exponential growth as more consumers embrace providing location in exchange for relevant offers and services," says Jeff Allyn, Vice President, Location Products and Sales, Locaid. ?Through the use of Locaid?s location API, iLoop Mobile is now positioned to offer their customers a one-stop shop for best in class mobile solutions that leverage location to provide smarter and more engaging consumer experiences.?
