Exciting Work from our Design Team

Posted by Greg Gifford  |  Dealer Websites  |  Tuesday March 10, 2009 at 1:49 pm

 

Our Design Team has been hard at work lately, coming up with some amazing work and really helping to make our Dealer Websites stand out from all the rest!
dm_site We’ve just finished a full custom site for Dream Machines of Texas. They’ve gotten over 100,000 hits since the new site design has gone up, and it’s obvious why – this site is awesome! Our designers call it “elegant grunge” – the banner and menu are on rusty industrial metal, and the home page features an awesome video. Check it out at www.dreammachinesoftexas.com
at_site Auto Tailor Sales wanted a site that was completely different than anything we’ve done, and our Design Team knocked this one out of the park. The home page features a photo collage of polaroid pictures, all flying in to create the image of a car… there are 5 random images that could show up. Check it out at www.autotailorsales.com – click refresh a few times to see the different pictures.
swatches Today we released a slew of awesome new website skins. Choose from two different background options – leather or pavement – and multiple accent color choices. The subtle background image fades to black, resulting in a classy site that will really wow your customers. The skins are available now – just log in to your AutoRevo account, click “Settings”, and then scroll down to “Color Themes” under “Website Settings” on the left. The skins are named “Leather” and “Pavement”.

Dealer Certified Warranties on Dealer Websites and eBay Motors!

Posted by Chad Polk  |  Dealer Websites, eBay Motors  |  Monday January 12, 2009 at 12:53 pm

Dealer CertifiedDo you have your own dealer certification program?  Now you can show it on your AutoRevo dealer website and more!  Upload your own certified logo (or have our design team design you one), describe the warranty, and display on each vehicle. 

OEM Certified car sales have become increasingly popular across almost all major brands.  So popular that many of our dealer groups have created an in-house certification on units that would not qualify for the OEM certification.  Many of these dealer certified cars come with a short-term warranty and/or guarantee (1 month / 1,000 miles, satisfaction guarantee, free service, etc).

So how easy is it to setup in AutoRevo?

  1. Go to Settings > Warranties in your AutoRevo account
  2. Upload your dealer certified logo
  3. When loading or editing a vehicle select Dealer Certified

Done!  Now it appears on your dealer website and eBay Motors listings.

Want to know more?  Call a representative today at 888.311.REVO (7386)!

OnePoint

OnePoint : The Quickest Price Updates in the Auto Industry gives your Dealership the Advantage!

Your dealership spends a lot of money on tools to better price the inventory.  Isn’t it critical to get those updates online as quick as possible?  So you’re asking, how does AutoRevo’s OnePoint speed up this process?

  1. We accept price update feeds throughout the day from several major inventory management providers such as JMsolutions (AAX), and FirstLook.
  2. We are a top provider to all the major online classified sites and can send multiple data feeds every day to keep your ads current.  For example we send to AutoTrader 3x per day and even map your vehicles options directly to AutoTrader’s options.  This give you optimal indexing of your inventory on their site which increases hits!
  3. We send “Price Updates Only” to Dealer Specialties.  What does this mean?  Your dealership uses Dealer Specialties for lot services and exports, AutoRevo accepts the price updates from JMsolutions (AAX), DealerTrack, and FirstLook and we can push the most current accurate price to Dealer Specialties.  
  4. We enable instant price updates on eBay Motors with 3 clicks of the mouse.  AutoRevo has long been a top solution provider for eBay Motors and had direct integration with eBay (no data feeds to other providers).
  5. Use AutoRevo’s OnTarget real-time market pricing tool to update prices in AutoRevo and it creates a seamless update to the online classified sites.
  6. Use AutoRevo’s PowerSites dealer websites and your prices update instantly when saved.  That’s right, no delays…just click save and all changes are on your website.

All of the moving around of inventory data in the industry creates critical time delays, errors, and confusion.  AutoRevo gives you a single point to import inventory, manage listings, and distribute to ANY automotive shopping website.
