West Chester, PA – HomeNet announced it is now reselling SOCIALDEALER, the most complete social media management (SMM) platform available, and tying it back to the inventory of users of HomeNet’s Inventory Online (IOL) Vehicle Marketing Suite.

SOCIALDEALER gives automotive dealers the ability to leverage their current sales and service customers to connect and engage on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and other social networks to market their dealership’s brand and inventory to the online community, all from one location.

“By tying in with HomeNet’s inventory, SOCIALDEALER becomes an intelligent, inventory-specific prospecting tool that completely transforms how the dealership can finds new customers,” said Phil Penton, HomeNet’s VP of Business Development.  “From the millions of social conversations on the web, it can distill identifiable, live, in-market prospects.  It then allows the dealer to isolate those shoppers most likely to purchase from them and engage with them.” 

“And, connecting to new buyers is just one part of the solution,” said Joe Castle, SOCIALDEALER’s CEO and founder.  “SOCIALDEALER also allows dealers to market in real-time to the online community with highly relevant information to drive more sales and service leads to the dealership.”

For instance, SOCIALDEALER hosts inventory on Facebook, monitors brand reputation, observes the competition online, effectively markets every department within the dealership, and even finds relevant articles and other fresh content to post, ensuring the dealership is an ongoing resource to their online community.

“The social media landscape is rich with active car buyers, but they are so scattered, and the potential for engaging shoppers so fleeting, that social media can be overwhelming to penetrate,” added Castle.  “Because SOCIALDEALER automates much of the process and provides such focus, it becomes efficient and cost-effective for the dealer to command that landscape with precision.”
