iPhone and Android app tips for Shop owners and Managers

By advertising on the Oil Change apps we can help

• Increase awareness and traffic to your shop

• Increase loyalty

• Decrease time between visits

• Increase awareness of additional services

• Allow customers to set their own service reminders to come back to YOUR STORE!!

Tips & Info:

Many shops are asking for in-store promotional material and Oil Change app Logos and links to the apple store for their own email marketing and websites. This will be very important when the new version comes available because of the customer reminder feature. When a customer selects a reminder, the app will reminder them to come back to YOUR store! If they don't know to use the app, it will just tell them it's time for your next oil change service. So tell you customers to use the app when they come in.

For those of you who have emailed me to ask for promotional materials, they will be mailed to you soon.

We would love for you to tell you customers to use the oil change app so just reply to this email and I'll send you an in-store shelf talker and window magnets and I'll put Logos and a link on the mybeepbeep website for you.

Here are a couple of things I want you to be aware of:

#1

The "features and offers" text box is not only a great place to tell customers about your offers but also to tell customer about the services you offer or special training your techs receive. Tell them why they should come to you! Example: (We deliver quality and a friendly experience.) (Get a Free Car Wash with an Oil Change)

#2

The "ad headline and details box" will be changing to accomodate the coupon page and coupon code feature. You will not have to have a coupon to use the the tracking though. Example: Ad Headline ($5 off and Oil Change and Details box (Get $5 off when you mention this app and coupon code)

 #3

The iPhone and Android versions of the Oil change app are here! We are very excited to show you and let you try the new features that will allow you to:

    * Set up unique coupons with coupon codes set by you

    * Track customer visits

    * Ask them to come back to YOUR store when their oil change reminder is triggered

    * Analytics to help measure your traffic and sales results

And more...

You will also see some changes to the website to help you get the most out of your listing including tutorials and help pages.

Oil Change app coming to Android - Sneak peak!

The Oil Change app for iPhone has been a great success so far with 6 months behind us. We are now testing the Android version and very excited about the opportunities ahead of us. We are also adding new features for the consumer and shops. You'll have to wait for the real thing to find out what it is but it's cool!

The economy says...

Want more proof that people are holding onto their cars longer (and hopefully keeping them in good shape, as well)? Try this statistic on for size: According to Edmunds.com, the average age of a trade-in car has risen from 5.6 years last summer to 8.7 years this summer.
If this is true then we should be going in to have our cars checked out and make them last longer. I was reading on the NOLN blog (National Oil and Lube News) shops are starting to embrace new technology... yup... there's a magazine and blog for everything, but actually its interesting and has all the good info for the industry. It was also mentioned in the AOCA talk chat too that shops are trying everything to connect with customers. From Facebooking to Twitter to Foursquare to the myBeepBeep Oil Change app on the iPhone, that's right they mentioned mybeepbeep in the same sentence as those giants WOW, that they are offering amazing deals though codes and coupons and instant posting discounts on oil changes, car washes and other services and products like tires with great prices and low price guarantees. That is where it would be nice to challenge the lowest price in one place. Otherwise you spend all day searching and wonder if the lowest price is the best thing for me. What is the shop isn't a good one so to speak or it's too far away.  So if your reading this, thanks, now go download the Oil Change app on the itunes store and get your oil change for goodness sake!

A message to everyone

If your reading this then you most likely either own/work for/go to a shop that services your car. I created this blog to help communicate with you. I don't expect this to be anything else but a way for me to send and post messages on my progess in making a new and very forward thinking advertising tool for customers to find good shops and for shops to attract the type of customer they want to attract. I am very excited about the success it's had but I want it to continue to grow. So next week we launch or national campaign to attract app users and more shops to send these customers to. Look for us in VehicleMD, NOLN and all over the web and news group. Viva Oil Change!

I am putting together a survey and will be sending it out to all the shops who have signed up to get their ideas and feedback.
