Dominion Enterprises Sites Incorporate Contact At Once! Platform in Ads
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 08, 2014 -- RVTrader.com and CycleTrader.com, divisions of Dominion Enterprises, have partnered with Contact At Once! to offer live chat on dealership listings. In a pilot study, dealers’ leads generated by the two websites have increased 34% and 60%, respectively.
The use of live chat gives RVTrader.com and CycleTrader.com shoppers the convenience and immediacy of real-time contact with dealers, and a mobile-friendly alternative to making a phone call or filling out a lead form. That, said Skip Dowd, senior vice president of Automotive Solutions at Contact At Once!, helps account for the significant increases in shopper engagement.
“The easier dealers make it for a shopper to ask questions, the more likely they are to ask. This gives dealers additional chances to provide great service, personalize information and influence that purchase,” said Dowd. “Instant messaging and mobile messaging continue to grow in convenience and popularity. Just look at your own phone and see how many texts you send vs. how many calls you make.”
Consumers visiting RVTrader.com or CycleTrader.com can chat live with any dealer who offers the live chat option in their ad listings. Dealers can receive and respond to chat leads through an easy-to-use app on their mobile device or desktop computer. Thanks to presence-aware technology that tracks dealer availability, the live chat feature will not be offered to consumers as an option if the dealer is unavailable.
“RV Trader is continuously looking for ways to assist customers in achieving the highest number of leads possible while building rapport with potential buyers,” said Tim Custer, general manager of RV Trader. “We are confident that live chat will help provide the marketing edge that dealers seek and establish a competitive advantage for them.”
RV Trader dealers interested in live chat are encouraged to call 877-354-4068. Cycle Trader dealers interested in live chat may call 866-476-3022.
