1-888-CAR-HELP Inc. Launches Nationwide Network of Quality Automotive Dealers
1-888-CAR-HELP Inc., the newest division of TeleSmart Communications Inc., on Sept. 4 announced a nationwide network of quality automotive dealers for every geographic market in the United States.
The network, accessible by calling 1-888-CAR-HELP or on the Internet at 1888carhelp.com, is designed to provide customers with a high quality automotive dealer for sales and service in their local area.
1-888-CAR-HELP and 1888carhelp.com leverage the power of a toll free vanity number and the Internet to provide customers with a network of automotive dealers for information, sales, services and resources needed to successfully research, manage, care for, buy, sell and improve their vehicle's lifespan.
"The number is available to one exclusive dealer by geographic market across the United States for $49.99 per month," said Larry Peterson, president and CEO of 1-888-CAR-HELP.
According to Brad Philan, vice president of marketing at 1-888-CAR-HELP, toll-free vanity numbers increase direct consumer response with more qualified leads -- "in excess of 30 percent or more," Philan said, "and we believe that the number and matching Internet site will help dealers gain the competitive advantage needed to separate themselves from other dealers in the areas of sales, service and resources in automotive buying and maintenance."
Interested dealers are invited to call 1-800-TeleSmart (1-800-835-3762) for more information.
