- Smile Plug-in
Pandemics and resource availability have put a strain on car availability. Long waiting times for new cars prompted users to look for more and more cars on stock and within a few months, dealerships found themselves with empty stocks. Therefore, it became necessary to find a way to restore stock by focusing on used car trade-ins. For this reason, Smilenet offers several plug-ins to meet the needs of dealers. In this article we will talk about a tool that can help your dealership enrich its used car stock.
The trade-in module, also called the Used Valuation module, allows your user to get an instant valuation of their vehicle. In fact, thanks to a partnership with Eurotax, Infocar, Indicata and Autouncle, Smilenet is able to connect your website with their database, providing the customer with the value of their car.
The user only needs to do a simple search by number plate to get the value of his vehicle immediately.
The form is very simple to fill out and requires 3 types of information:
- Personal data such as name, surname, telephone number
- Number plate of the vehicle to be assessed
- Type of vehicles you are interested in after the possible trade-in (the choice is usually between new, used and km0)
Why should you have this plug-in installed on your site? The trade-in module not only serves the function of providing an additional service to the potential customer but also offers your dealership several advantages:
- The possibility of obtaining a lead that can be treated by your BDC like any other contact from your site.
- The possibility of obtaining a vehicle for your own used stock
Another advantage lies in the possibility of selling a car. In fact, after filling out the form, you can choose how you want your user's experience to continue:
- Accompanying it on a thank you page with the value of the vehicle and a call to action inviting them to contact you (can be a phone number, email or your WhatsApp Business contact)
- Or take it directly to the SRP of interest. In this case all vehicles would already appear discounted by the value of the permuted vehicle.
