Independent Dealership SMS Lead Generation

Drive more leads using SMS Text Messaging – tied to your CRM with VIN-specific vehicle information.

How Do Redline TextUps Work?

Redline Textups is a texting solution for car dealerships (especially for independent dealers!) that’s directly tied to your CRM integration, so it will become a seamless part of your vehicle lead follow-up procedures. When car shoppers text the last 8 digits of your vehicle’s VIN to a five-digit SMS short-code, our software automatically submits some valuable information to your CRM, including:

• Customer Name
• Customer Cell Phone Number
• Exact Vehicle of Interest
• Age Range
• Mailing Address
• Gender

The Benefits of SMS

The benefits for messaging like this are simple: SMS messaging fosters better communication with your potential customers than any other medium. In fact, we did the research to find out from shoppers directly (you can see more here)! Here are a few key takeaways to consider:

• SMS messages are opened 10x more than email
• Text allows the receiver to return a communication quickly and easily
• Messages are stored and easily reviewed
• MUCH less spam than voice/email messages
• SMS communication is less threatening than other mediums for shoppers
• 48% of all searches for car dealers come from mobile devices
• TextUps are ideal for independent dealerships – no need for other services

Where do Redline TextUps Leads Come From?

Redline Textups extend the lead generation capacity of all your dealership’s digital assets, and introduces window-sticker lead form submissions! Our proprietary VIN-specific texting software adds a custom text short-code to every vehicle image and each window sticker.

That means lead submissions are now possible from:

• Dealer website inventory photos
• Social media posts
• Manufacturer-provided VDP’s
• All third party inventory aggregators (Cars.com, CarGuru’s, etc..)
• Facebook Marketplace
• A simple yet powerful website widget
• Physical window stickers on your cars
• Inventory hang-tags
• Placing a text code on any traditional advertising, including TV and OTT/CTV

Consider This Real Use Case

“I’m watching the football game on Saturday, and get a TextUp on my phone… A young lady is on the lot, it’s raining and she sends a TextUp on a used Jeep Liberty.

I call her back immediately and feature-benefit from my couch. I tell her to go into the office and speak with Steve, who closes the sale. I highly recommend TextUps!”

-John E. Allen Mello Dodge

Generate More Leads & Sales Today

Redline Textups ensures auto dealers have the best technology to meet their customers where they are with the best content they have available.

Whenever a shopper wants information about a specific vehicle, they simply text the last eight digits of the vehicle’s VIN to 96300.

Instantly, the shopper gets a link to the exact vehicle of interest and other dealer selected content (Virtual Brochure, AutoiPacket, etc.). You receive the shopper’s name, mobile number, and the exact vehicle of interest directly in your CRM. By using a simple QR code on items like window stickers, one scan opens and pre-fills the SMS messenger on your customer’s phone – and they press just one button to send!

Experience how the Redline dealership texting service gives shoppers what they want, friction-less access to your best content.

Give it a try: Text OFFER to 96300 and see for yourself!
