While video has proven to be an effective sales and marketing tool, it has traditionally been a one-way communication option, with little opportunity for customer engagement. By adding Contact At Once! chat to SiSTeR Technologies' vehicle walk-a-round videos, powered by The Publisher, there is now a clear call to action - one that invites the shopper to ask questions and that builds rapport between the customer and dealership sales professionals.
Unique to the industry, The Publisher serves as an integrated marketing platform, allowing auto dealers to add multiple third-party applications to the top of the player. This results in a customized viewing experience for dealer website visitors. As the shopper clicks on one these embedded applications, the video then pauses play while the app launches directly from the player. In addition to Contact At Once! chat, dealers can choose from a variety of compatible applications, to include credit applications and trade-in evaluations, in order to entice their video viewers to take the next steps along the shopping path.
"The Contact At Once! Deluxe Partner Program is for providers of applications that complement our dealer chat solution and that, when integrated, increase the value derived by dealers who are our mutual customers," said Director of Business Development, Lloyd Hecht. "This partnership makes video a much more interactive sales tool, as shoppers now have a direct and real-time connection to dealership sales professionals while the thought of buying that next vehicle is top of mind."
The Publisher is provided free of charge to all auto dealers, partners and application providers of SiSTeR Technologies. Contact At Once! Dealer Edition customers at the Deluxe or Premium level, and who utilize SiSTeR Technologies Publisher, will have the live chat integration feature available at no additional charge. Contact At Once! Deluxe or Premium customers should contact their SiSTeR Technologies representative to request activation of ContactAtOnce! chat within The Publisher solution.
