AutoHook and Carfax Partner to Drive More Online Shoppers to Dealer Lots
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) February 25, 2016 -- AutoHook, Powered by Urban Science, has officially announced the launch of their partnership with Carfax®. People shopping for used cars on Carfax.com will now receive extra incentives from select dealers to visit their showrooms for a test drive.
The partnership includes the integration of AutoHook’s incentive solutions into the vehicle details pages of Carfax Used Car Listings. The program is currently available to AutoHook customers that also are Carfax Advantage® Dealers with Used Car Listings. This comes at no additional charge to mutually subscribing dealerships and there is a simple form to opt-in.
New dealer and OEM clients of AutoHook that are already Carfax Advantage Dealers on Carfax Used Car Listings will be added to the integration during the initial setup process. Dealerships are only responsible for paying for redemptions (actual showroom visits) and AutoHook takes care of the entire incentive fulfillment process.
Following the September 2015 acquisition of AutoHook to global data giant, Urban Science, and the January 2016 launch of the all-new DriveAutoHook.com, the alliance came at a perfect time for AutoHook customers. Dealers will see additional benefits of working with the digital conversion experts, as the company is the only one in the space capable of attributing conversions to sales in near real-time.
“This industry has seen so many disruptions over the years, beginning with CRMs, then the Internet, and now with mobile. I am honored to say AutoHook has successfully disrupted the trend of declining lead conversion rates facing automotive today,” says David Metter, President of AutoHook. “Adding Carfax into this mix opens doors for further increasing both conversions and showroom visits for dealers and OEMs, attributing those clicks all the way to a sale - and it will bring more value to consumers during their research process.”
AutoHook continues to show their multidimensional business model while leveraging Urban Science’s unmatched data resources. By adding AutoHook’s technology into Carfax’s Used Car Listings, shoppers are incentivized to take the next step from viewing inventory online to connecting with the selling dealer and visiting their store for a test drive. The integration helps dealerships brand consistently across multiple platforms and ultimately increase conversions, leads, walk-ins and sales.
“Dealers choose to be on Carfax.com because it connects them with more qualified, down-funnel shoppers,” said Larry Gamache, Communications Director at Carfax. “Combining the added incentive dealers can offer through AutoHook’s test drive solution with the many unique benefits people already get from shopping on Carfax.com further increases the likelihood of a sale.”
For qualified AutoHook dealerships that are already Carfax Advantage Dealers with Used Car Listings, there is a simple “opt-in” process, consisting of a quick form to get set up. This comes at no additional fee, only a further benefit to AutoHook’s rapidly growing client base.
