(FRANKFORT, Ill.) – February 26, 2010 – Dealer HD enhanced its existing autoTweet capabilities in the 1.13 service update allowing for the use of custom timing on inventory tweets.

Dealer HD has been diligently building on its integration with Twitter.  The starting point with Twitter came with DHD’s introduction of autoTweet in the 1.11 service update (June 2009).  Using autoTweet, dealers were able to connect the RIMS Admin inventory to their Twitter accounts and tweet fresh vehicles in inventory daily.  In the 1.12 service update (September 2009) the Twitter interface was integrated into the RIMS Admin – allowing dealers one login to manage their website and Twitter account.   In its latest update, 1.13, Dealer HD revisited its original autoTweet feature and added automation spanned across time.

“Tweeting your newly arrived inventory is a great addition to your twitter stream and we wanted to make it feel less automated. AutoTweet now sends your newly arrived inventory throughout the day between your dealerships tweets – enhancing your timeline and making everything seem more natural,“ said Bruce Etzcorn, Director of Product Development at Dealer HD.

Dealer HD’s 1.13 service update focused on SEO improvement and Dealership communication capabilities.  For more information on autoTweet and Dealer HD’s Automotive Website services visit dealerhd.com

(FRANKFORT, Ill.) – February 23, 2010 – Dealer HD is now offering a Dealer texting program that allows dealers to provide vehicle information, promotional and service updates directly to customer’s mobile phones.

The Dealer HD 1.13 service update included website features like Pretty URLs and products like the Lead Central ILM, Dealer HD’s texting program is yet another strong addition from the quarterly update.

The texting platform is versatile and unique to Dealer HD.  One of its differentiators is that Dealer HD allows customers to get information on every vehicle on the dealer’s lot.  Texting an assigned number will text back Year/Make/Model, mileage, body, engine information and dealer notes, as well as a link directly to the vehicle where customers can view photos and schedule a test drive.  The platform is not limited to just vehicle texting – it has promotional and service capabilities as well.  Text-to-win contests and service coupons or notifications can also easily be set-up using the Texting admin.

“Having your inventory text-ready allows your dealership to send vehicle details to customers instantly – while they’re interested and on a platform they prefer,” says Bruce Etzcorn, Director of Product Development at Dealer HD. “With text messaging use rising year after year, you cannot ignore SMS as a valid communication channel any longer.”
