If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught businesses anything, it is that consumers are willing and able to research, browse, engage and buy online – and it is true for the retail automotive industry. Customers are warming to the possibility of buying a vehicle online, and they are certainly more than ready to submit enquiries, make appointments, and chat with your staff via their computer, tablet, or mobile device.

It stands to reason, then, that no modern dealership can afford to be without the best online engagement and website tools. Potential buyers are online at any and all times of day and night, and if you are not equipped to engage them whenever they desire, you will lose them to someone who is.
