ProMax Dealer Updates

ProMax Version Release 2016.9.20.1 - September 22, 2016

 

We've added a new method for adding an overlay to vehicle photos you use in the eBrochure, Email Campaign, and on your website!

It's easy; go to Photo Manager  (Inventory -> Vehicle Photos and select "Managing Existing Photos") and you'll see a new button labelled "Manage Overlay":

From here you can select your overlay from your computer's files (make sure it is a .png file with a transparent background) and upload it.

Once you have uploaded an overlay (or if you have one previously uploaded) you can manage the Overlay Status:

Once you have added an overlay and/or set your status, the changes should immediately appear on photos in your communications .

Note: the overlay does NOT show up on Stock Photos.

ProMax Version Release 2016.9.7.1 - September 8, 2016

Instant Score Powered by Equifax

Studies show that a majority of consumers don't know their credit score, and that consumers shopping for a vehicle want to learn it.  So why not give it to them for free, in exchange for a quality lead on a consumer that you KNOW is looking to buy?  Enter Instant Score!

Instant Score is a new soft pull tool that can be plugged in anywhere on your website.  Visitors to your site are able to see their Equifax credit score free of charge.

The simple process only requires consumers to fill out a short form and verify their identity, but does not require the consumer's Social Security Number.

Upon completing the form and having their identity verified, the consumer sees their credit score, and the dealership receives a high quality authenticated lead.

For more information on Instant Score or to get signed up
