Want to see it in action? Text "AUTO 15WGD" To "41411".
How Does it Work?
Consumers see your vehicle Short Codes in media that you've opted to have them placed in.
The short code will say something similar to "Text AUTO 15WGD to 41411" or "Text AUTO 122HZ to 41411 For More Info".
When the consumer sends the text from their mobile phone, a reply is immediately sent to them via SMS with your Dealership Name, Phone Number, the Year Make and Model of the vehicle, and a link for them to view complete details about the vehicle via our mobile inventory pages.
An email with their phone number and details about which vehicle they were responding to is immediately emailed to the dealer, and may also optionally be delivered to a cell phone at the dealership via text message. Additionally, an XML lead can be emailed to the dealers CRM email address if one is defined. The lead is then stored in the leads section of the webLot web-based backend for later review or follow-up.
How Much Does it Cost?
When using our premium system keyword "AUTO", pricing is just a flat 15¢ cents per txt msg received.
...or...
If you would like to choose your own keyword (based on keyword availability), such as "TOWNCHEVY", pricing is a flat 7.5¢ per txt message received and $40/mo. per dealer. This is a great option if you need the ability to quickly discontinue TxtLot service for a dealer and eliminate any residual incoming messages that are the result of their keyword being out in the public facing media.
To use your own keyword for all dealers in an entire admin account, pricing is 15¢ cents per txt message received and $40/mo. Please contact us to have a custom keyword applied to your main admin account. In the event that some dealers within your admin account have their own keyword(s), the per-dealer custom keyword pricing applies to those dealer accounts.
