Boulder, CO (PRWEB) May 20, 2012
Pellmans Automotive has been searching for the right business partner to help them connect with the increasing number of motorists who rely on the Internet to help locate and choose an auto repair facility. The owners, Brad and Lisa Pellman, knew that updating and maintaining an effective web presence was becoming too sophisticated of an endeavor for them to continue to handle on their own. With the increasing importance of on-line reviews they wanted to ensure that reviews and testimonials on Google and the auto repair shops own website could be easily found in internet searches and also to maintain and improve their high organic placement. They wanted to showcase their stellar reputation and the positive feedback expressed to them by their customers. After extensive due diligence of the many companies in the industry who can help the small business owner with this project, they chose AutoVitals for a number of reasons including industry knowledge, customization of product, excellent customer support and value added applications like emailed service reminders and other customer communication tools. When AutoVitals released it latest “Vital Connect” version Lisa and Brad were convinced the time was right for the switch.

Their commitment to excellence didnt stop when they were looking to upgrade their web presence. Pellmans Automotive had been using a variety of services for their customer communication, but realized that consolidating that effort and integrating the website with their Point-of-Sales and marketing software had the potential for even better results. We have been requesting email addresses from our customers for our monthly newsletter for some years now, and know the importance of the Internet for our overall sales and marketing strategy. The concept of providing vehicle specific and personalized information to our customers through the Internet was a natural progression from what we do at the counter for every customer visit said Brad Pellman. We were intrigued by the AutoVitals service, not only because of its personalization features, but also its ability to integrate with our Google Application based office environment. Given the increased level of complexity involved, we determined that it made more sense for us to find a provider for all aspects of the web based customer interactions rather than managing different vendors.

Lisa Pellman signed on with AutoVitals and started focusing on the website initially. AutoVitals helped me look at the website differently. Click-maps and other analytical technologies really seem to eliminate guess work, and provide great success metrics, Pellman said. I was also pleasantly surprised that AutoVitals wouldnt charge extra for changes on the website, since their business model is results driven. I am confident that using AutoVitals for all aspects of my customer interaction will give my retention results an extra-boost.
