The proliferation of mobile and eCommerce for retail purchases is the new normal. No matter how different or how unique we think the car buying process is, today’s consumer is forcing us to adapt to their desires.
The dealership’s website is typically the first thing a consumer sees and your digital presence has an immediate impact on how you’re perceived by car shoppers. And the stakes have never been higher with the average car buyer now only visiting only 1.3 dealers before buying a car.
CreditIQ was born out of a desire to help dealerships meet the increasing demands of today’s consumer. We are a technology company focused on helping dealers move more of the sales process online.
A recent study conducted by AutoTrader revealed that 72 percent of buyers (especially Millennials) want to complete a credit application and financing paperwork online to save time at the dealership and feel less pressure completing paperwork at the dealership.
We’ve developed a simple website plug-in for dealers that enables them to offer online pre-qualified financing as the next logical step towards a complete online car-buying process.
