Table of contents


Overall Uniques in Market Place

  • Onsite Engagements / Lead Gen - None of these companies have rolled this in as part of their offerings

    • 1 Tap Leads

    • Watchlists

    • Dynamic Landing Pages

  • Fully automated, multi-segment, personalized email content - If they are doing anything in this area its a single generic message sent to everyone

  • Pricing - We are most often significantly cheaper than other products we might be compared against


Shopper Suite / Full Throttle / STREAM

ShopperSuite: The Ultimate Closed-Loop Marketing Solution | FullThrottle

Overview

This is the oldest and best known product in the space. Their anonymous visitor identification methodology is very similar to ours. We don't know if they are as good / better / or worse at identifying traffic than we are but we do know that their engagement technology is much worse.

Differentiators

  • Limited offer customization and segmentation

    • Use ONLY “Why Buy” messaging for all shoppers - no personalization based on shopper interests. Seems to only be one active message running per website.

  • Pricing & Spending

    • Offer a cheap "View only" platform option, pricing increases quickly for actually engaging shoppers.

    • HARD push on buying advertising impressions...can push cost up to $4-5k or more per month

    • Most ad spend driven via retargeting (Google/FB)

  • Very basic engagements

    • Nothing on-site

    • Emails have no review content

    • No lead-gen components: claim offer, SMS, etc

    • No dynamic landing pages

  • Seems like they only send a single email per shopper and no nurture campaigns

Shopper Suite Pro

They seem to have some improvements Coming in July 2022 . Based on the website - most of these improvements would only be on better offer segmentation

Recapture: WeDrive / Force Marketing

WeDrive - Loyalty. Conquest. Control.

Overview

In general, very similar to shopper suite with bolted on BDC management

Differentiators

  • Pricing starts at $3,495...scales to $4,495

  • No reviews in emails

  • No dynamic landing pages

  • Doesn’t have a lead conversion generation product

RoiQ: DealerX

RoiQ - DealerX

Overview

More of an Ad platform than anything else - Probably not a true competitor. Email is offered within it at an extra charge, but it seems like the email portion of the platform is probably conquest type campaigns vs identified visitors on the site.

Differentiators

  • Looks to be completely driven by ad spend

  • We don't have exact pricing info but have heard of clients spending 10-20k/month with them.

  • Additional fee for email inclusion

  • No reviews in emails

  • No dynamic landing pages

  • Doesn’t have a lead conversion generation product

Apollo: Team Velocity

Make the Switch to Apollo® - Team Velocity, fueled by Apollo

Again more of an Ad platform with conquest email + direct mail incorporated. Looks to require a more fully integrated relationship with Team Velocity including EITHER using them for SEM and/or using their website platform in order for technology to work.

Differentiators

  • Pricing seems much higher - 10k range

Client Command

Home - Client Command

Similar to DealerX platform. Pricing at least 10k/month. Focused on ad spend/OMNI Channel approach.

M1 Data + Resellers

Data as Service - M1 Data & Analytics

This is a common anonymous visitor identification platform that many dealers have used without much results. They are resold through lots of people but generally pitch themselves around a "Smart Pixel", "Cookieless Pixel", etc on the website .

Their technology does not seem to accurately identify visitors, just generates a huge list of names and emails. They take this list and drop it into the CRM and let the CRM send generic emails to these addresses. Results from this approach are low to none. Also - the dealer seriously risks their CRM's sending reputation by doing it this way.

Differentiators

  • Dumps all identified shoppers into the dealership CRM and leaves communication process up to the dealer / dealership personnel

  • Doesn’t have a lead conversion generation product

  • Requires more work on the dealership staff

  • They are usually LESS expensive than our platform per month

Compulse
