Jose Alonso – Internet Director for Jenkins Auto Group – walked into the Digital Dealer Conference & Expo last month looking for one thing …
“… and one thing only,” he says. “I wanted the latest technology for connecting with customers.”
Known for being on the cutting edge of industry tech, Mr. Alonso found what he was looking for in MobileAppLoader, one of several mobile app builders in the exhibit hall that day. Alonso liked the demo, liked the features, and he liked MobileAppLoader’s prices. Within a week, MobileAppLoader had all 12 apps for all four Jenkins dealerships live in the iTunes and Google Play app stores (4 iPhone apps + 4 iPad apps + 4 Android apps).
“I’ve already had excellent results,” says Alonso. “You have no idea how many calls I get in response to Push Notifications.”
Widely considered the magical App of mobile apps, Push Notifications appear as text messages and/or full-colored graphics that pop up on customers’ phones, alerting them to service deals, new inventory and more.
“Over the weekend, I sent a Push Notification and within five minutes, two customers had already scheduled service appointments,” Alonso says.
Better yet, many of his service-related Push Notifications have triggered calls from customers who’ve gone on to buy new cars from Jenkins dealerships.
“Pretty much every aspect of our app is great,” Alonso says.
He likes being in control of his app, which saves time and money.
“I have access to the backend part. I can control the content and links within my apps, versus hiring someone and going through the hassle and the waiting. I have total control, and the backend interface is very easy to use.”
Alonso is also pleased that customers are using the Appointment Scheduling feature, which enables them to choose the types of services they need, scan their cars’ VINs, specify preferences for service dates and times, and even attach pictures of their vehicles to emails that are received by the dealership’s designated service personnel.
Other favorite features: A real-time search of best local gas prices, links to Facebook and Twitter, and the ability to repurpose advertising content for Push Notifications.
“Whatever ad we’re running on the floor and on the web, we can now run on phones via our mobile apps,” Alonso says.
He calls his decision to invest in MobileAppLoader apps a “no brainer” that synchs perfectly with Jenkins’ overall mission.
“Our mission is to provide our customers with 100% satisfaction and to react to our customers in a timely manner, to stay connected. Our apps help us do that,” he says with the following testimonial:
“I’ve found Mobileapploader.com to be a great application tool. It was very easy to use. The applications have made communication so easy for our customers before, during, and after the sale. The sales and service staff is right at their fingertips. I have seen a huge increase in sales, service, and parts already! I highly recommend this application tool to anyone. If you would like to contact me to discuss this further, please call me at 352-362-5990 or send me an email at jose_alonso@jenkinscars.com.”

What happens in Vegas – contrary to the hype – doesn’t actually stay in Vegas. As of last week’s Vegas-based ATD/NADA Expo, the word is out: MobileAppLoader offers the richest Mobile Apps at the most disruptive prices.
With non-stop traffic to the MobileAppLoader booth, CEO Zvika Ashkenazi explained how his company can afford to provide full-featured Mobile Apps at 1/5 the cost of competitors.
“We’re a Silicon Valley tech company with more than 1,000 live apps in the iTunes App Store and Android Market. Of those, more than 350 are car dealership apps. Our experience in the automotive industry has opened our eyes to just how pricey everything is for dealers. A lot of our competitors want to charge them an arm and a leg for mobile apps. The truth is: You just don’t have to pay that much,” he said.
Don’t reinvent the wheel.
AutoRetailNet Editor William Diem (on left) speaks with Zvika Ashkenazi (right), CEO of MobileAppLoader.
Ashkenazi explained to hundreds of dealers who visited MobileAppLoader’s booth that many developers will charge for duplicating what already exists on Facebook, YouTube and other web-based sites. This adds significant cost to the app; it also locks dealers into a dependency on the app provider.
“Use what you already have. We boost your ROI by creating the functions you still need,” Ashkenazi said. “Our Apps embed specialized features like Push Notifications, Free One-on-One Customer Chat, VIN/QR Code Scanners, and more … but for functionalities like videos, we link to your existing resources. We also empower our customers with full freedom to update their apps whenever they want for free.”

The founder and CEO of MobileAppLoader, Zvika Ashkenazi, addressed 500 enthusiastic members of the Rydell Automotive Group last week. The two-day event, held January 11th and 12th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, showcased new ideas and best practices for running automotive dealerships. Mr. Ashkenazi was invited to speak by Alex Boen, who uses apps from MobileAppLoader to market his dealership, Lunde’s Peoria Volkswagen.
“This group wants to be on top of technology. They’re looking to support their customers in the friendliest and most effective ways possible, which led them to learn more about Mobile Apps,” said Mr. Ashkenazi.
Mr. Boen, who co-presented with Mr. Ashkenazi, listed demographics that make Mobile App Marketing a wise business decision:
More car buyers are on their cell phones – shopping.
That’s why more car dealers are buying Apps.
By Zvika Ashkenazi, CEO MobileAppLoader
Last week, Dealer Communications magazine covered a survey revealing a “jump in the use of mobile devices to shop for cars.” Citing results of this survey, which was conducted by Chrome Systems, the magazine wrote:
“Nearly 25% of consumers with Internet-enabled cell phones or mobile devices have recently used their device to research or shop for a car, almost double last year’s rate.”
Little wonder car dealerships are purchasing Mobile Apps. They need to appear where their customers go – and these days, they go primarily to the iTunes App Store and Android Market. App Store search boxes are becoming the new Internet search box, and dealers know if you don’t have an App, you don’t exist. (Can you imagine running a business without a web site? Studies show – for the first time ever – people are spending more time on their phones than online. The App Store, in other words, is close to becoming the new Internet.)
“The iPhone App is an important tool for marketing our services. Our business looks good by having a presence in the iTunes App Store, and our customers just love it,” says Tim Glockner of Glockner Toyota/Honda.
Mobile Apps enable inventory searches, one-one-one free chats between the customer and a dealership representative, embedded appointment scheduling, and – the killer App of Apps – notifications, which are full-color images (often used as Mobile Coupons) that dealerships send to customers with discounts on services and bonuses to build loyalty.
Notifications pop up on customers’ phones like text messages, and the viewing rate – unlike emails – is nearly 100%.
“Notifications are huge. You can send out a notification of a special or a special event and it goes straight to their phone. We use notifications quite a bit,” says Darren Fichter of Carl Black of Kennesaw, a Chevy, Buick and Pontiac GMC dealership.
In old-fashioned Internet parlance: Securing an App “URL” or “Domain” means buying an App with your dealership’s name. For example: Type the name “Carl Black Kennesaw” into the search box of your iPhone’s App Store. The dealership instantly appears.
Can you say the same for your business?
