Start Your Own Used-Car Window Sticker Printing Business With DeskLot Window Sticker Printing Software
If you're interested in starting your own used car window sticker printing business, DeskLot Enterprise is the software solution for you... and the one used by many other window sticker printing companies! In fact, about 30% of our business is from window sticker printing and other automotive services companies who use DeskLot to help them to be successful in the business.

The DeskLot Enterprise version lets you manage an unlimited number of automotive dealership accounts so that you can keep each dealerships inventory separate. Simply visit the dealership with your notebook computer, digital camera and portable printer, enter their newly arrived pre-owned vehicles, snap from 1 to 25 photo's of each vehicle, print the window stickers and buyers guides one at a time or in batch, place them on the windows and go onto your next client. 

When you return to your office, connect to the Internet and post the dealership inventory to their Internet website and one or more of many automotive sales sites. With DeskLot, you can use the versatile Data Transfer functions to configure custom exports to most any major automotive Internet inventory service the dealer is subscribed to.

With DeskLot, you charge what you want to charge and offer a suite of services that best suits your business model. Perhaps it is just placing window stickers on the dealerships used-cars. Perhaps it is a solution to sticker the vehicles and then place them on 4 top automobile Internet inventory sites and the dealership's website, perhaps you have designed your own inventory portal site and want to post the automobile data to that site. Maybe you want to also provide the dealers with a robust Internet inventory solution for listing their vehicle inventory on their website and/or for including in your own web portal as well. It is up to you to design your business the way you want to and charge what you want to.

Additional Success Tools

When competing with the top window sticker printing companies who have previously dominated the market, one service most of them traditionally have offered along with their suite of services is to provide the dealership with links to use in the dealerships website so that they may display their inventory. You've seen the pages from some of the major competitors. They look and function pretty crummy huh? Well, this doesn't have to be you! Raise the standard and reap the fruits! Onward! When competing with these companies, many times, this is a service that you must be able to offer in order to gain their business. 

Now, DeskLot does come with a couple of Internet inventory solutions built right in. Our static HTML publishing feature which is intended for small dealerships that are not running their website on a Microsoft server and our ASP database driven pages. Both of which may be highly customized by you to your liking depending on your HTML and/or ASP technical expertise. However, in many cases, you might want something more robust and feature rich... a professional turn-key solution that is by design, designed to accommodate these types of needs. Enter WalkTheLot.com!

With the WalkTheLot.com product, you the service company create an account for yourself. Then as you add dealers, you just login and add another dealership account. You use DeskLot to upload the dealership vehicle data and photo's (up to 25) to WalkTheLot.com. The data is posted and live on the Internet generally within 10 minutes. Once the WalkTheLot.com system processes the data, you even get a report in your email so that you KNOW everything went well.

All of your dealerships are managed within one easy-to-use system. Within that system, you can easily configure their inventory pages to look the way you want them to, send them the links they need to include the inventory in their website, enable or disable such things a secure (SSL) credit applications, payment calculators, etc, manage their vehicles if need be, view statistics, setup web hosting accounts and much more. In fact, one of the key features you will find invaluable is that each of your dealers get their own Login ID so that they can login and change prices on vehicles, delete vehicles and more... and you can even set the WalkTheLot.com system to only allow the dealer to change and/or see what vehicle data you want them to be able to.

Here's where it gets juicy! You, the master account holder can even have links to use on your own site or portal site to display the combined vehicle data of all of your down-line dealerships, and you have control to tweak the cosmetics and features to look the way you want.

Additional Money Making Opportunities / Income Streams for your Window Sticker Business

Now depending on what your business model is, there are a number of other income streams you can use for profit that you might not of thought of.

  • Become a DeskLot Reseller
    Undoubtedly, when you visit dealerships to make your sales calls, some of them won't signup with you. It's just a fact of life. But you CAN be prepared to turn what might otherwise end in a "no sale" into some residual income by signing up to be a DeskLot reseller. How much residual income? Up to 45%, and even more if you are a private label reseller depending on what you charge. It's simple. When you signup to be a DeskLot reseller, you get your own CD that has your Reseller ID specially encoded in it. You can also burn extra copies of this CD. If the dealer doesn't want your window sticker printing services, then move to Plan B. Sell them on DeskLot so that they can do it themselves. You can either install a copy for them or leave them with a CD. When they purchase, our system knows it was your sale and we send a commission check. You can even add value added services by not only selling them the software but offering to provide a service of $X for training and setup, $X for designing a sticker for them, $X for setting up their used-car export services, etc.

  • Charge a Setup Fee
    Like mentioned before, it's your business and your business model. You can come up with a suite of services and pricing that best suits you. One of these might be charging the dealership a setup fee, which could include creating their window sticker designs and/or configuring DeskLot to export their automobile data to the services they want you to export their used-car data to.
     
  • Charge for Setting Up Export Configurations for Sending the Dealership Vehicle Data to Other Automotive Internet Inventory Services
    If the dealership wants you to send their data to other Internet inventory portals or services, you might want to charge them a setup fee for each service you configure DeskLot to export to. Some service companies do, some don't. It's your choice.
     
  • Charge For Designing Window Stickers
    Once again, it's your choice. You might choose to charge the dealership a setup fee for creating their initial window sticker and buyers guide designs. Some people do. Some people don't.
