An Automotive Management Tool to Increase Sales

AutoAlert,Inc. was established with the intent of providing the automotive dealership industry with products and services designed to improve new and used car sales, VSC sales, service conversion sales, client retention and loyalty, and increase profitability.

The multi-patented AutoAlert software provides pre-qualified, timely Automotive Leads based on historical buying data. Complete deal information from the DMS is analyzed, such as vehicle equity, mileage, warranty, lease terms or other factors to create prospect opportunities in six different Alert categories. These leads from existing customers help dealers to create additional new and used car sales; increase revenue while reducing marketing expenditures; and improve customer loyalty and retention.

This data is compiled in a dashboard format so dealership staff knows quickly what makes those customers high potential opportunities for outbound marketing campaigns. The software analyzes searches and sorts the day’s new Automotive Lead opportunities.

Various dealers using the AutoAlert software to prospect their existing customer portfolios report monthly vehicle sale increases with some realizing more than 200 additional sales per month! Each of these re-purchases usually generates a trade-in, which gives the dealership further opportunity for additional profit. Even dealers selling just 15 to 20 units a month are generating another five units a month when using AutoAlert.

Typical lead creation includes:

Alerts: Clients who are in a position to move out of their current vehicle and into a new one, at about the same current monthly payment with the same or shorter term  Clients can also appear in additional opportunity categories, such as Contract End and Service Alerts.

Flex Alerts: Shows customers whose equity position in their vehicle makes it attractive now to move into a new vehicle for about the same money per month with more flexible terms.

Contract End: Clients with contracts maturing within 12 months.

Service Alerts: Clients who have been in the service drive within the last 14 days and are Opportunities.

Warranty Alerts: Clients with original warranties about to expire without a Vehicle Service Contract in effect.

Mileage Alerts: Lease clients who are likely to incur mileage penalties.

Conquest leads:  Service clients who may have paid off their contract early, or did not originally purchase from the dealership (they are not in the DMS) can become prospect opportunities by utilizing the AutoAlert Wizard.

Scripts: Very effective scripts for client contact are provided within the AutoAlert application to provide guidance through these various outreaches.

By using AutoAlert to prospect for low-mileage or high-demand vehicles owned by the dealership customers, AutoAlert has helped the dealership keep its certified pre-owned inventory at profitable levels. This has greatly reduced the dealership’s need to buy CPO units at the auction, saving the dealership money it passes on to the customer.

Close to 1,000 dealerships today use the AutoAlert’s software to generate additional sales, commissions and profit while providing individualized service to their customers.

Study: 72% Of Consumers Trust Online Reviews As Much As Personal Recommendations

The findings of this year’s Local Consumer Review Survey (2012) show a positive shift in consumer trust and appreciation of online reviews.

Approximately 72% of consumers surveyed said that they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, while 52% said that positive online reviews make them more likely to use a local business.

About The Local Consumer Review Survey 2012

This online survey was conducted between 15th January – 1^st March 2012. A set of 18 questions were put to a survey panel of 4,500 local consumers located in US, Canada and UK. We received 2,862 respondents.

This is the 2^nd wave of the Local Consumer Review Survey. The 1st wave of this survey was conducted in late 2010/early 2011. We compared results between the 2 waves (2010-2012) to determine any change in consumer attitudes and behaviour.*

The following results and charts are taken from Part 1 of the survey; Parts 2 & 3 will be released subsequently (expected: April-May 2012).

*2010 survey had 2,012 participants from US & UK, but not Canada.

Part 1: Consumer Attitudes & Consumption Of Online Reviews

Q1: How many times have you used the Internet to find a local business in the last 12 months?
There has been a significant jump in the number of consumers using the Internet to find local businesses, and the regularity of their ‘searches’ has also increased.
Key Findings:

• Only 15% of consumers said that they had not used the Internet t0 find a local business (vs. 21% in 2010)
• 16% of consumers said they used the Internet every week to find local businesses (vs. 9% in 2010)

Q2: Do you read online customer reviews to determine whether a local business is a good business?
More consumers are reading online reviews now than 15 months ago, with 27% regularly reading online reviews when looking for a local business to use.
Key Findings:

• 27% of consumers regularly use online reviews to determine which local business to use (vs. 22% in 2010)
• 24% of consumers never use online reviews. (vs. 29% in 2010)

Q3: How many online reviews & ratings do you need to read before you feel that you can trust that business?
This year’s survey shows a decline in the number of reviews being read by consumers. Consumers are forming opinions faster and trusting reviews more, leading to lower consumption of reviews.
Key Findings:

• 65% of consumers read between 2-10 reviews (vs.58% in 2010)
• Just 7% of consumers read more than 20 reviews (vs. 12% in 2010)

Note:  the total quantity of reviews a business has remains important. Having a high number of reviews gives users more confidence in star ratings (represent an avg. across all reviews) and allow users to feel more confident in the fewer reviews which they do actually read.
Q4: How do online customer reviews affect your opinion of a local business?
More consumers are reading online reviews and using them to form an opinion about local businesses. Positive reviews can establish greater trust in a local business.
Key Findings:

• 58% of consumers trust a business which has positive online reviews (vs. 55% in 2010)

Q5: How do online customer reviews influence your decision to use/select a local business?
More local consumers are now taking notice of online reviews and online reviews are an important factor in deciding which local business to use. Consumers appear to bess swayed by location and price which don’t represent any guarantee of quality or reliability.
Key Findings:

• 52% of consumers are more likely to use a local business if they have positive reviews
• Just 28% of consumers cite location &/or price as main decision making factor (vs. 28% in 2010)

Q6: Do you trust online customer reviews as much as personal recommendations?
Appreciation and value of online reviews is growing as more consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
Key Findings:

• 72% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations

Key Takeaways

The importance and value of online reviews is on the way up!
Local consumers are becoming more familiar with online reviews and therefore placing more value and trust in them.

Online reviews give users quick access to information which helps them make informed decisions faster and more easily than ever before. This growing trust means that users are prepared to make decisions based on fewer reviews.

The continued growth of mobile Internet usage (cell phones & tablets) means that more and more consumers will be searching and finding local businesses online.

The availability of clear and easy to consume review/star-rating content will become even more important to consumers and extremely valuable to local business owners.
