Dealers: Your mobile app can do more than just tell people that you exist

You have decided to create a mobile application for your business and this was a great idea! Excitement has filled the dealership and the staff is ready to tell the customers and even their families about the arrival of a mobile app that users can now run on their iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. People ask what the new mobile app will contain, and you have briefed the staff on how to respond and describe cool features such as the inventory manager that allows customers to view up-to-date information on vehicles that are currently for sale. You also discuss the QR reader that is enclosed, as well as the parking assistant that helps you find your car in a crowded parking lot. You also mention the About Us page where people can go learn more about the dealership itself and the staff. However, one thing that slips your mind is the Roadside Assistance module. People must know about this function because it is one of the great features of your mobile app!

The Roadside Assistance is a great option that is included in the mobile apps designed by Multichoice Apps that helps stranded motorists get help without having to worry about who to call in an emergency situation. The best thing about this is that users can place a call for help with just one touch on the screen.  As the owner of the mobile app, you have the option of having the call placed to your dealership and sending one of your emergency vehicles to assist the motorist or you can route it to a third party company to provide the assistance, such as AAA or a local towing company. All your customers have to do is provide the assisting company with their location and a summary of the issue and they can get help right away!

Providing Roadside Assistance through your application will show users of the mobile app that you are serious about providing quality service to them before and after the sale of a vehicle. This builds loyalty, which turns into repeat customers. Multichoice Apps have designed mobile apps for many automobile dealers and their feedback indicates that the roadside assistance module is a favorite for many customers. We can help you develop loyal customers with the creation of a great mobile for your dealership.

Attention: New iPhone Application for Auto Dealers

(Press Release) – June 17, 2011 – The latest innovation for auto dealer websites comes from Multichoice Apps.  Multichoice is very well-respected and has gained a reputation for creating exciting, professional mobile applications for the iPhone, iPad, and Android operating platforms. They also specialize in dealer friendly web-based platform and flexible web solutions.   The release of their customized mobile apps for dealerships is something the auto industry has not seen before.

With this groundbreaking “one- step” iPhone app technology, dealers can now auto load vehicle inventory into their systems via their mobile devices. They simply take photos of the inventory, click “save” and the dealer website inventory is automatically updated, without going back to a computer.  This saves time and effort, and allows a lot manager or employee to get a vehicle listing up as soon as a car arrives to the dealership.  What an easy and effective way to manage auto dealership website inventories!  Multichoice’s apps are quite robust and allow for multiple images of the same vehicle to be captured and listed.

No more walking from vehicle to vehicle across the lot to find that perfect car, truck or SUV for a customer.  With a complete photo gallery in the palm of their hands, the sales team can now help customers identify which vehicles they want to see before they take a tour of the lot, and customers can have a better idea of what they want before they get there. The time saved and increased efficiency will surely be appreciated by both the buyer and the selling dealership.  The inconvenient time gaps between new vehicles arriving at a dealership and the updated inventory pages of the dealer website will also be minimized or eliminated altogether.  

Multichoice Apps also provide services such as search engine optimization, social media marketing packages that include Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter profile customizations for businesses.   To learn more about these services and other options available through Multichoice Apps, visit their website at www.multichoiceapps.com

Importance of video presentations for auto dealers

You are always looking for ways to differentiate your dealership from the others in your area. You pass out fliers and run commercials on the local networks, and the other dealerships do the same. You post banners and have specials, and the other dealerships follow, sometimes with bigger signs and even a mascot dancing on a corner. What else can you do to break away from the pack? You must do what the competition is not doing, and one thing that can set you ahead is having customized videos of your dealership created and marketed to potential consumers. Why make videos? Well, customers are attracted to professionalism and creativity, and if this leads them to the product or service that they want, then they are more likely to do business with the company that takes the extra step. Multichoice Apps has created amazing videos for dealerships that have worked wonders for them. These videos are intriguing and have made some marketing departments very happy!

Multichoice creates videos for dealerships in seven segments:

• Welcome – The most important part of any transaction is the introduction because a first impression goes a long way. Multichoice can help you create a captivating introduction that gets the customer’s attention and keeps them watching while being hungry for more information.
• Sales – This segment can introduce the general manager and sales staff, and it can be creative in telling the customers why they should come out and visit your dealership. Specials and new vehicles can also be put on display here, and even seen in action.
• Parts – Even new vehicles will need parts at some point, and your Parts department can be introduced in this segment. You have the option of showing some new parts on display or just discussing the elite organization and content of your inventory.
• Service - Dealerships with good Service departments are more important today then they have ever been because with the technology in cars increasing, customers have to lean more towards the Service staff for maintenance because many newer vehicles now require specialized attention. Your Parts staff can be put on display here.
• Finance – At some point you and your customers have to talk about money, and this segment can introduce the Finance staff and make people feel comfortable discussing their financial information before they even step into the dealership. Financing options can also be discussed in this video.
• Internet Department – Since the car buying process can now start on the internet, your Internet Sales department can be promoted here. Online deals, promotions, and just the excitement of internet shopping with your dealership can be presented in this segment.
• Testimonials – People discussing their satisfaction with your dealership in a video goes a long way with potential customers, especially if the satisfied customers are genuine about the service they received from you. Multichoice can help create a great atmosphere for testimonials and capture them in an amazing video.

One thing to remember is that these videos can be found in search engines, right along with your web page! The best part about it is that SEO (search engine optimization) will allow customers to be led directly to your YouTube channel and Facebook pages, where the videos will be embedded as well. Multichoice also specializes in designing these channels and Facebook layouts so we can actually provide you with a total package of video creation and YouTube/Facebook layout customization. The power is in your hands!

If you’re ready to go that extra mile for success, contact Multichoice Apps today and let us create some great videos for your dealership!

Mobile Apps Design

As a growing business, you now realize that jumping on the technology wave is critical to your business’s success. You also see the importance of having an iPhone and Android application developed. You’ve put your boat into the water and floated around a little, and you see that there are some other companies out there with mobile apps but you notice that they are unattractive and unappealing. Why would they put out such mediocre apps? It is because they simply do not know any better and the companies they choose to design the apps did not do their main job of educating them on how their design would affect the app’s success.

From your preliminary research you have come to the conclusion that you need a well-designed mobile application that looks appealing and professional, and it must have all of the features that will make it easier for potential customers to get the information that they need about your products or services. It must also have a clear path for customers to contact you with as few steps as possible – preferably a one-tap option to put them directly in touch with you.

Why do we emphasize the importance of a sleek design?

It is pretty simple – human beings are naturally drawn to beautiful things, just like all eyes are focused on a pretty woman walking down the street. The same rule applies to the mobile app market. There are many mediocre apps wandering around in the Apple App Store and Android Markets, but the visually appealing applications are the ones that are viewed and downloaded the most. Therefore, Multichoice Apps focuses on creating the most attractive apps that are also the most functional. This results in instant success for the application and higher revenues for the company. It is an amazing formula: Visual Appeal + Functionality = Success!

Functionality is also a critical component of the mobile app development because no matter how pretty and captivating the app’s interface is, it is almost worthless if it does not work right because it is not fulfilling its ultimate purpose of serving the customer. Multichoice Apps has cutting-edge design techniques that produce amazing apps that are ahead of their time. You will definitely have an advantage if you have an app that is technically superior in an arena that is still fairly new.

As an example, Multichoice Apps has developed business iPhone applications for automotive dealerships. You can view a few of these apps right from your iPhone - simply search for and download any of the following applications: Honda Mall of Georgia, Jaguar Orlando or Toyota of Naples. These dealerships have already experienced more than 3000 downloads, and this could have the same results for your business!

Multichoice’s apps are loaded with many powerful features. For instance, Push Notifications allow dealerships to communicate directly with customers by sending them text messages or images of new and featured vehicles. Video presentations are also being incorporated into the applications. It is the equivalent of having your own multi-functional broadcast station for a fraction of the cost. Ultimately, this will result in higher revenues and success for your business. Contact us today at www.MultichoiceApps.com

The Future of Automobile Dealerships: Mobile Applications

A recent report put out by a mobile application reviewer stated that BMW dealerships are using them and they have helped sales. Why don’t you give it a try?

Ty Whiting, a representative from Classic BMW in Ohio, says, “Our iPhone app is a fantastic tool for our dealership. We send news and updates to our customers with it. They can check our inventory and request appointments directly from it. Our app is always in our customers’ pocket.” If you’re the manager of an auto dealership and you want to be in your customers’ pocket then you should probably join the club as well.

Many dealerships are beginning to recognize the benefits of mobile iPhone and Android apps. Today’s customers like to get their information on products and services quickly and conveniently. They will naturally gravitate to the company that will make this a reality. If your business can’t keep up, another one will. To stay ahead of the curve, your dealership needs to be that “other” company.

The report shows that dealerships get the most mileage from apps that feature instant notifications, inventory searches, and appointment scheduling. Push notifications, which allow alerts to reach the customer even if the mobile app is not open, enable them to connect with customers via text and picture-based messages, including announcements of sales and coupons. Inventory searches make car shopping easy and convenient from a customer’s phone, and this is great for customers who value privacy and may not be in the mood for an actual drive to a dealership or filling out a visitor card that will probably be followed by a shadowed trip around the parking lot. Appointment scheduling lets customers quickly request appointments without the need to go online or make a phone call.

People find mobile apps more appealing than internet websites because of their visual flair and also due to the idea that they are much easier to use. Options to access key information are usually just one touch screen tap away. Having a mobile app increases your dealership’s accessibility, and customers will reward you by responding to the added convenience.

If you are interested in finding out how to get a great mobile app created at a very reasonable price, you can contact Multichoice Apps and an app will be designed to maximize your dealership’s success. Multichoice has helped other dealerships increase revenues and they can do the same for you! Contact us today www.MultichoiceApps.com

Competitive advantage with mobile apps

You’ve been looking for a way to increase sales at your dealership. You’ve tried everything from commercials to flyers, ads in local newspapers, and even a dancing bear in front of your dealership out by the street with a sign saying “Buy One, Get One Free!” and you still don’t have many people rushing in to see what you have. Ok – maybe your sign didn’t say buy one and get one free but you know what I mean. In plain English – you need a solution to get people in the door to check out your wonderful products, and you need it quickly. To reach today’s “connected” customers, you need to use technology to create a link that allows them to connect to you while enabling you to connect with them. You need a mobile application!

Multichoice Apps creates mobile applications for the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices that can be downloaded and used by consumers in literally seconds. Mobile apps such as this can work wonders for dealerships such as yours.

How do we know? Because we have already created apps for dealerships and they provide results – it is that simple. 

What makes a mobile application so special? iPhone and Android mobile applications are easy to access for those that use the these devices, and are therefore used more frequently than mobile web sites. Apps can be downloaded in a matter of seconds so your customers will not need to wait while your mobile website downloads in a weak signal area, or fails to download completely due to technical reasons. Mobile applications also have the flexibility to be used offline. Finally, iPhone owners are used to getting the maximum out of their devices so once your mobile app is downloaded, it will be used and the user will know who you are.

Why does my dealership need a mobile app? Imagine a consumer downloading and using your mobile app to view your inventory to find the vehicle of their dreams. They email you a few questions about it and you answer them, and the next day you get an offer emailed to you! This sounds like something futuristic, right? Well, you will be blown away to find out that this is already a reality because other dealerships with mobile apps have experienced this and therefore have an advantage over other dealerships that are less accessible. If this is not enough to make you reach out and find out more then I do not know what can help you!

By now you should be ready to contact Multichoice Apps and have a customized app developed for you today!

Lead Generation Package

LAST MAN STANDING WEB PAGE TECHNOLOGY

When people shop online today, they usually visit more than one site before making a purchase decision because they can move quickly. Previously a person buying a car would have to physically go to a dealership, get out of their car and go in, fill out a visitor card and get haggled by a salesperson, and then leave. They will go through this and may not even find the car they want at this dealership, which means they will have to go elsewhere and repeat the process over again. Sounds boring and time consuming, right? There is a new age – buyers can now shop from their homes. If you are an entrepreneur with an internet site, you need to learn what you can do to cash in.

If customers looking for your product or service are likely to visit your site and then check out a few others, how do you get them back to your site to close the deal? Multichoice Apps has solved this problem with their LAST MAN STANDING technology. How does it work? It guarantees that when people visit your site, they will see your information again even after closing every browser window, including the main website with your product or service! This allows potential clients to come back to your site to be presented with special offers and financing as well as review your inventory to make that special purchase. The LAST MAN STANDING pages are a hit with customers that are using them, so contact us today and let’s put this technology to work for you!

LEAD DELIVERY SYSTEM

Your dealership’s website is amazing and you have many customers visiting your website daily. Now you need to convert these visitors into buyers – how do you do this? Multichoice Apps can help you take the next step with its LEAD DELIVERY SYSTEM  technology. This component allows you to deliver information that the customer wants to see while also qualifying and gathering information about your customer. For example, when a customer visits your website they are presented with a rewards/savings certificate that may have a slideshow of your inventory and also gathers critical information about the customer. They can enter their name and email address, and also tell you what they are looking for. This information can be sent right to your CRM tool, which allows you to analyze the leads and work smarter, not harder. You give the customers the option to get more information without the pressure. A greater customer experience + better leads = MORE SALES! If you like this formula then you need to contact Multichoice Apps and put the LEAD DELIVERY SYSTEM to work for you!

FACEBOOK CUSTOMIZATION

If you are not getting the most out of your Facebook page, you need to make it work for you. Multichoice Apps can create a Facebook page unlike most pages that you have ever seen. Most businesses’ Facebook pages look like an extension of the owner’s personal page. Is this really what you want your customers to see? Probably not. You want your customers to see a welcoming greeting along with options to see pictures of your dealership and the salespeople that will greet them upon your arrival. Multichoice can customize your page to show this as well as also link your Twitter and YouTube accounts so that when you update your Twitter status with special deals and offers, it shows up on your Facebook page! You can also add a special Inventory link that allows you to place all of your inventory on Facebook so customers never have to leave the Facebook to get the information that they need to make the purchase decision. If you are a dealership or other business with a Facebook page, you need to move to the front of the pack and have Multichoice customize your page. If you do not have a page, now is the time to get one!

MOBILE APPLICATIONS   

Some dealerships with mobile applications have already experienced more than 3000 downloads. This could be your business!

What exactly are mobile apps? They are mini-versions of a website that function as applications on the device they are downloaded to. Apple’s iPhone and iPad users can get these apps from the App Store, while Android users can visit the Android Market and download apps for their phones. Multichoice creates apps that are loaded with many powerful features. For instance, Push Notifications allow dealerships to communicate directly with customers by sending them text messages or images of new and featured vehicles. Video presentations are also being incorporated into the applications. It is the equivalent of having your own multi-functional broadcast station for a fraction of the cost. Ultimately, this will result in a higher ROI for you.

You may read the above and see a thousand dollars in services or more. However, Multichoice Apps is bringing all of these options to your doorstep! Yes, you can have technology that allows people to quickly return to your site, a lead generator to convert them to buyers, a Facebook page where people can see all of your inventory and offers, and a mobile application for affordable monthly fee. You’re right – you must jump on this now. Contact us today and let’s get started!

Mobile Apps for Real-Estate Agents

The economy is going through a tough time right now. Gas prices are soaring through the roof, as you can obviously see as you drive down any main road in the area. Other facets of our lives have been affected by the country’s financial state, such as company layoffs and retail sales. The housing market has suffered more than most industries have during this downturn. This makes the field very competitive for people who make a living in this industry, particularly real estate agents. If you are an agent, you have probably been thinking of ways to make yourself unique instead of swimming with the same old schools of fish. Guess what? Multichoice Apps can help you with this dilemma.

Keep reading.

If you want to differentiate yourself from the crowd, you need to consider the creation of a mobile application for your services. What can this do for you? It allows you to be accessed by any person that owns an iPhone, iPad, or mobile device that runs on the Android operating system. This can put you in touch with a customer base far greater than you could possibly reach through more conventional, “old-fashioned” methods. There are thousands of agents in your city, so what competitive edge do you have over the rest of the pack? Why should a homeowner or buyer choose you to represent them? Here’s the logic: when your clients see your amazing app, they will first notice that the other agents that they have talked to most likely didn’t take the time to develop a mobile app for themselves. The potential client will then conclude that if you have taken the time and effort to make your skills and services presentable in an innovative fashion, you will put the same energy into getting them the results that they are seeking. Can you say, “You’re hired!”

In order to succeed today as a real estate agent in the current market, you must elevate yourself to a new unique channel of advertising. Multichoice Apps develops great apps for real estate agents that have been proven to get results. Here are some features that your current and new clients will love:

• Effective Greeting Page: Your first impression of your app on current and new clients will be one of professionalism and neatness. Impress your clients from the start!
• About You: People looking for someone to help them can read about your specialties and experience, and become more comfortable with you.
• One Touch Buttons: Multiple pages in the app allow clients to call, email, or get directions to your office with just one tap on the screen. They can also use the Tell Friend option to tell other potential customers about your mobile app and services.
• Links to your other Advertising Media: Have a Facebook page, Twitter profile, or YouTube page? If so, you can link it to your app and people can access all of your information and listings from one device. They cannot miss you!
• Detailed Appointment Setting: Potential buyers and sellers that want to set up an appointment to meet with you can do so easily by using customized fields to select the times and dates that will work for them. This saves the clients time and allows you to prepare before you meet face to face.

One key feature of the apps that Multichoice creates is the Push Notification option. This tool allows you to send real-time updates in the form of messages directly to the users’ phones. They can be received even when they are using another application! As an agent, this is a great feature to use because you can instantly send photos and even virtual tour videos of new properties as soon as you put them on the market. You can also use this to keep your buyers informed of critical changes that may be of importance. Did the seller of a property just accept your buyer’s offer? You can let him know right away, no matter if he is on another call or checking email. With just a tap on the SEND button, your client knows right away!
Once your new mobile app hits the Apple and Android stores, you will notice that your business will remain steady because it will be easier for your past and current clients to refer other people to you. They will be able to download your mobile app and send it to their friends that may be looking for a real estate agent to serve them. Potential clients will also be able to read about you and see your specialties and experience before you meet them. This great marketing tool will keep you so busy with clients referred by the app that you will not find the need to spend much more money on marketing expenses for awhile. Now that’s a great sound to the ears of any independent contractor. Contact Multichoice Apps today and have a successful mobile application developed for you!

How people find apps

The Apple App Store is an amazing place. Why is that? Well, people with the iPhone that are looking for a particular product or service can go to the App Store, search for it, find the application that appeals to them, then download it to their phone and use it. The best part of this phenomenon is that it can all be done in a matter of minutes, or seconds if you’re super fast! As a business, your company can greatly benefit from making your company available to thousands of people looking for you. Let’s look at how the App Store works.

The App Store can be accessed by iPhone users in two ways: either through the iPhone itself or through iTunes. Let’s discuss the iPhone App Store experience.  While holding the iPhone, users can tap the App Store icon. It is very similar to using iTunes, so the App Store will feel very familiar to most iPhone owners. They are then greeted by a page that gives them the option to look at new apps that have been added and the most popular and frequently-downloaded Apps under “What’s Hot.”  Apps are displayed in a list with up to 5-star ratings and price.  Along the bottom of the screen users will find tabs for Featured, Categories, Top 25, Search, and Updates. Having a good rating will prompt people to try your app so Multichoice will use its expertise to create a very appealing application to get you the results that you are seeking.

Next, users can tap on Categories and see a list of different app categories along with the number of apps in each category. They can tap on a category to browse the list of apps in it. Selecting the Top 25 tab will give users a list of the most popular 25 apps. This allows them to see what their fellow iPhone owners are using and the apps they prefer. People will review and rate your company’s mobile application, and this determines how easy it will be for people to find your business. Multichoice Apps knows how to make your app user-friendly and enjoyable, and this will give users the urge to go give your app great ratings, which will result in more downloads and more popularity.

The Search tab displays a list of available applications as users type in a name or subject, similar to searching for music in iTunes. Once they find an interesting app, they can tap on it and see the price as well as more details on the application. If a user decides they want the app, they can click on it and download it. That’s it! The application will do the rest of the work and eventually lead them to contacting you about your products and services.

You can now see why many companies have developed iPhone apps to promote their goods and services. It is a win-win situation for the client and company – customers get access to the services they need while companies have a chance to easily obtain new customers and provide exceptional service to new customers. Contact Multichoice Apps today and discuss how your company can have the next big mobile app for the iPhone! Contact us now at www.multichoiceapps.com

 

Going Social? Go Mobile!

During the 1990’s, the internet can be viewed from today’s perspective as being under construction. Many homes were just becoming familiar with the world wide web and its capabilities. Businesses were in the same place, as they had no clue what this phenomenon would mean to them in the future. In the next decade, the internet started to boom with social media. Myspace was the first mainstream introduction to social networking, and Facebook later took the lead. Twitter, LinkedIn and other websites are now carrying the torch while new social media is being created and launched everyday. Companies now realize how important it is to reach the consumer, and they realize that they can now create a more personal experience by reaching into the customer’s social network and identify with them while also figuring out what the customer wants and needs from the company. This can be considered marketing at an intimate level!

New mobile technology such as the iPhone and iPad made by Apple, as well as the Andriod phones, have made marketing to consumers much quicker and easier with the concept of mobile applications. These apps can be downloaded by customers from their phones’ app stores and installed directly on the devices, which allows them to quickly access a company’s services much like a website but it creates a direct link so that customers can access information and contact the company with just a few taps on the screen. The new trend in today’s business world is to integrate mobile apps and social media, and use both to reach customers. One leading company that can help your business step into this arena is Multichoice Apps (www.multichoiceapps.com). We specialize in creating all-in-one social media marketing packages that include the following:

• Mobile App Development – Multichoice Apps can analyze your business and turn it into an interface that customers can download and use to stay connected to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can create iPhone and iPad apps as well as Android apps.

• Social Media – Do you need a Facebook page or Twitter account? Multichoice Apps can also help with the creation of accounts on these networks as well as other hot social media sites. Your pages will be well organized and graphically pleasing to consumers, which will encourage them to try your products or services.

• Blogs – Today’s educated consumers are teaching themselves by researching and reading about the products and services they are interested in. Multichoice Apps has incredible writing talent on our staff that we will use to create captivating blogs that convey your message and services with the written word.

• Lead Generators and Delivery System – Whether you are computer savvy or not, Multichoice Apps will make you look like a genius when your site shows up in the top links on every search engine.

Importance of social media marketing

Any person that is familiar with running a business knows that marketing is essential to the success of the company. It is also often regarded as the most important component of any business strategy. Large companies can easily spend millions of dollars on marketing agencies to promote their products and services. However, smaller companies that would like to cut costs look for more creative methods to make their presence known. When competition is as fierce as it is in today's business markets, social media marketing is an economical way for smaller and newer companies to reach a vast amount of potential customers in a very short time.

What exactly is social media marketing? In terms as simple as the concept, it involves using social media formats such as blogs, social networking community sites, or video sharing networks to market a product or service. Why is social media marketing so effective? Here's why: popular websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Flickr have over five million visitors everyday. Therefore, promoting a business through these portals is attractive to small companies because they have a steady stream of traffic that is virtually constant.

Many small companies take the wrong approach when stepping into the social media marketing arena. This is easy to do because business owners think that by simply creating a Facebook page their profits will shoot through the roof! Guess what? That isn’t necessarily the case. Why? Because when thousands of people and businesses create Facebook pages everyday that adds them to the millions of pages that already exist in the network, how will someone possibly find them? You have to know how to market your products and services, and you will need a professional to do this. More importantly, you must know that a Facebook page alone won’t produce the results that you need.
