(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

The podcast, available for download on AutoSuccessOnline.com and iTunes, it is a first for Dealer HD and a starting point for becoming more vocal in the industry.  “Up until now, we’ve been fairly quiet.  Our focus has been building the best products we can and earning trust.  Now we’re ready to start making some noise,” said Justin Duff, Vice President of Sales.

Topics include: effective website tools, SEO strategy and the use of video.  Duff discusses how dealers can improve the effectiveness of their websites to garner more quality leads.  Social media is also a hot topic.  He describes the roles social media plays for dealerships.  ”Dealers need to think of social media more as a way to build relationships with their customers, rather than a direct sales approach.”  Full details are available in the podcast.
