UAutoBee.com is the First Lot Management Service Provider to offer VIDEO using AutosOnVideo.com new App.   This new app is so easy to work with. Soon our dealers will be offering Real VIDEO that is so rich in content and allowing customers to see vehicles in so much greater detail.

VIDEO is the Greatest thing to happen to auto sales since the invention of the Internet and AutosOnVideo.com is the best thing to happen to VIDEO.

Video will allow customers to see vehicles in a whole new way. In the past customers had to rely on the vehicle photos. While

photos are very sharp they just did not have the “rich” data that VIDEO contains. Now when researching their vehicle choices, customers will be able to view vehicles as if they were on the dealers lot. They arrive at the store better equipped as to what they truly want, and ready to make their purchase.

Dealers on the other hand will now be able to keep viewers on sites they control. This will better allow dealers to market their vehicles to their customers by showing VIDEO of Their Vehicles.

“Things, They Are A Changen!”

UAutoBee.com is managing the lot. AutosOnVideo.com is providing the App. and VIDEO is Leading The Way!

1. You can put QR codes on your dealer window stickers. Tech-savvy car buyers can simply scan the QR code with their phone and get all the information about that car downloaded instantly. They can then shop on their phone later, looking at all the cars they scanned that day. If you’re lot doesn’t have QR codes and the other guys do, well guess who’s going to get the sale.

2. You can use QR codes in your ads or in your windows at the dealership to run specials or deals. Car buyers can drive by your lot at night and still get information about your dealership and weekly specials. You can even tie it back to your web site to drive leads there.

3. Lastly, you can use QR codes per sales guy. If someone wants to know if Steve Jenkins is a reliable sales guy, then can scan a badge on his vest or a badge on the wall or wherever, that can they send that customer to a review site where prospective buyers can see that indeed Jenkins is the man and that they can trust him to buy their next car.

Are QR codes a fad?

No, they are popping up everywhere: the gap, car dealers, retail stores, Starbucks, etc…If you want to cover your bases, you need QR codes. Buyers are becoming more tech-savvy, especially car buyers. Don’t get left behind. If you have questions, we can help.

Well most of us will make a resolution or two this time of year. As you are ever searching for better ways to sell more cars, I hope that you have thought about your vehicle photos and how you would like to make improvements this year.

If I may make a few recommendations,

1. The first key is consistency. Weather you take the photos or you have them done by a dealer inventory management company. Always keep the sequence the same. When you deviate the customer feels uneasy and that’s not good.
2. Second, consider your background, what’s around the vehicle open shop doors or even a trash dumpster. Is this really what you want people to see?
3. Remove the floor mats before the shot. Paper (most definitely) and carpet (even from the trunk) so you do not distract the viewing of the vehicle.
4. Check the relationship to the sun.  Is there too much sun, too much shade? Is there glare obstructing the shot and the cardinal sin of all, the camera person’s shadow.
5. Now the last thing is to remove ALL trash from inside and out of the vehicle, including price hang tags. No one wants to see trash and it only takes away from the vehicle you are trying to sell.

Consider how much you spend in order to get the unit on line. Do you really want a paper floor mat crunched up on the floor, the vehicle in front of an open shop door or the shadow of the camera person in the shot?

Now go on your web site and check out your photos. How are they looking? I hope that my ideas were helpful.

Here is to 2011 being Your Best Year Ever!

With U-AutoBee at the forefront of technology and video, we help dealers move cars faster. It basically comes down to the fact that we care about our customers and we’re in this business to be honest, professional and reliable.

So many shops and services put up a half-baked product. Believe me, I know. If you’re like me, you’re tired of paying for things a second time and dealing with those guys who just see dollar signs.

Check us out and let me know how I can better serve you.

51% of consumers say they are more likely to by from retailers that have a mobile site.

What does that mean to Auto Dealers?  While you’re web site may work fine for those folks shopping at home, their mobile phone is a valuable tool in their arsenal when shopping for cars.  You need a mobile/micro site where car shoppers can browse your car inventory via their mobile device.  This means your site needs to work well with iPads, iPhones, SmartPhones, etc…

Check out mizzoutoyota.com to see how these guys are taking advantage of this technology.

The researchers at “Luth Research” (eMarketer article), go on to say that “retailers must make the most to adopt these technologies or risk losing out to their competitors who do.”

So, get started today with a mobile compatible web site from U-AutoBee, where we simply know how to help you sell more cars.
