6. Speed Up Your Follow-Up with SMS
Hello world, we are all busy! Most people do not want to answer a phone call from a number they do not know. But almost everyone reads their text messages.
A great growth hack is to use automated SMS for your leads. If someone fills out a form on your website, your system should text them within seconds. "Hi! This is [Name] from [Dealership]. I saw you were looking at the new SUV. Do you have a quick question?"
This is simple and it works. It starts a conversation without being pushy. It makes it easy for the customer to reply when they have a free moment. Our social media management software can help you set up these kinds of automated messages so you never miss a lead.
7. Use Video to Show, Not Just Tell
People love watching videos. You don't need a professional film crew to make good video content. A simple video on your phone can be very powerful.
Show off a new car that just arrived on the lot. Do a quick "safety tip of the week" video. Or show a happy customer picking up their new keys. These videos make your dealership feel real and friendly.
You can post these on your Facebook or Instagram page. It helps people feel like they know you before they even walk through your front door. If you need help with what to post, check out our about page to see how we help dealers with their brand image.
