Sunnyvale, Calif – April 28, 2011– ResponseLogix®, Inc., the leading provider of automotive digital response management software for internet leads, today announced the release of its second generation SmartQuote® 2.0 rapid-quote response and SmartFollow® 2.0 follow-up marketing solutions for automobile dealerships.

“Let’s face it, we live in an instant world, and people want information immediately. Consumers want to gather information quickly and will eliminate the dealers who aren’t willing to provide fast and transparent pricing, and will move the dealerships that are to the top of their list. The new SmartQuote 2.0 rapid-quote is feature packed with vehicle information and gives instant vehicle information to a customer in a professional clean way.” Said Mark Noger, Internet Sales Director, Germain BMW of Naples, Florida.
Selling Cars in an “Instant World”
Today’s always-connected digital lifestyle has created a society of savvy consumers who are more informed in how they research, formulate purchase preferences, and buy automobiles. Research indicates 60% of vehicle shopping time is spent on the internet, and those consumers spend an average of 18 hours researching new and used vehicle purchases, according to a recent Polk®/AutoTrader® study. Auto dealers need to deliver timely, consistent and feature-rich initial responses, and multi-channel follow-up marketing to internet prospects to win the sale. ResponseLogix has integrated best of breed internet marketing practices and advanced internet marketing technology to deliver consumers an immersive and enjoyable car buying experience.
Feature-Enriched SmartQuote 2.0 Multi-vehicle Auto Quote
The new SmartQuote 2.0 quoting solution delivers a more powerful multi-vehicle email quote. Upon receipt of an initial email response, the consumer visits a personalized SmartQuote landing page packed with valuable information about vehicle alternatives. SmartQuote 2.0 includes multiple new and pre-owned vehicle alternatives, an expanded gallery of exterior and interior photos, support for video, and car safety information. Used car quotes may include a CarFax® report showing more detail about the vehicle’s history. SmartQuote now supports links to social media, and car shoppers can share their price quotes with family and friends via email and Facebook links. If a car shopper is ready to take the next step, she can self-schedule a test drive, click to chat with a dealer sales rep, or even reserve a car with the simple click of a button.
SmartFollow 2.0 adds Cutting-edge Hyper-Retargeting Advertising to Boost Already Powerful Lead Management Solution
If a shopper does not take action to schedule a test drive right away, the SmartFollow 2.0 follow-up marketing solution begins. A comprehensive email campaign is initiated to reengage the dialogue between prospect and dealer. The campaign runs for up to 180 days. SmartFollow 2.0 features hyper-retargeting, which is at the cutting edge of digital marketing. Using SmartFollow 2.0, the dealer can now serve up to the consumer dynamically-generated Internet display ads presenting the exact vehicle the consumer expressed interest in when she submitted a lead, with the call to action “Schedule a Test Drive”. With a click, the consumer lands on a page where the test drive can be scheduled.
The combination of personalized email reminders and customized advertising are designed to nurture shoppers efficiently along the path towards the purchase.
