Automotive Apps To Get More Sales Leads
As technology changes, so has the car-selling process. Twenty years ago, most dealerships relied heavily on print ads. Ten years ago, dealers couldn’t survive without PPC campaigns. And now, car sellers are increasingly utilizing automotive apps to sell cars.
Why Dealerships Should Consider In-App Marketing
Finding new advertising funnels is one of the best ways to stay ahead of the competition, and utilizing automotive mobile apps is a recent strategy for car dealerships to acquire new customers. Apps designed to sell cars provide dealers with a unique opportunity to promote their in-stock vehicles. When you choose to become a marketing partner before your competitors do, you’ll have an edge, especially if they do not see the value in you. Dealerships that participate in car-selling app programs often see an increase in lead volume.
Promoting Dealerships On Car Shopping Apps
Advertising on these car shopping apps is usually affordable and cost-effective. Car sellers get direct leads and inquiries about available cars, trucks, and SUVs for sale from in-market car buyers. Dealership owners and general managers should consider some in-app advertising.
Advertise On The InfoRide® App
The InfoRide® app is a mobile-first vehicle listing and lead generation platform that connects dealerships directly with in-market retail buyers. Instead of relying on outdated auction models, InfoRide® uses a swipe-based interface that makes browsing vehicles quick, intuitive, and engaging for shoppers.
Dealers can list their entire inventory for a flat monthly fee, with daily inventory syncing to ensure listings remain accurate and built-in CARFAX reports for buyer confidence. The app also features an AI assistant, Sam, which responds to buyer inquiries, answers common questions, and schedules test drives 24/7—delivering high-quality leads without requiring additional staff time.
Through the dealer portal, you can track lead activity, see which vehicles buyers are saving or inquiring about, and receive real-time alerts when a test drive is scheduled. InfoRide is available to buyers on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, providing your dealership with nationwide exposure to mobile shoppers.
White Label App Options for Dealerships
In addition to its main car shopping platform, InfoRide also offers a white-label version of the app. This enables dealerships to have their own branded mobile app, allowing them to showcase and sell inventory directly to their customers. A white-label solution offers a distinctive approach for dealers to establish brand recognition, while providing shoppers with a seamless, mobile-friendly way to browse available vehicles.
Benefits of a Branded Dealership App
A dealership-branded app can help strengthen customer loyalty, enhance market visibility, and create a more personalized shopping experience. By offering a dedicated app, dealers can keep their brand at the forefront while still leveraging the technology and functionality of the InfoRide platform.
