BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, January 2014—The Moran Group, an Automotive Advertising Agency, and Pulse, a provider of Mobile Apps, jointly announced today that they have partnered to enhance the Digital Marketing Strategies for Automotive Dealerships by providing branded mobile apps.

With the fast adoption of smartphones, mobile apps have become part of our everyday lives. Gartner predicted last year that 102 billion apps would be downloaded, and it is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years.

A Branded Mobile App is a powerful tool that positions a dealership as progressive, connected and customer-focused. Dealerships can grab a piece of prime real estate on their customers’ smartphones to boost loyalty. They can also instantly reach out to customers with special offers and promotions based on their customers’ profiles and their customers’ locations.

“It’s ultimately about having the best value and convenience for the end-customer,” says Kathryn Lemoine, Digital Media Director of The Moran Group.  “Pulse Auto Dealer App provides a superior cost-efficient tool for our dealers to provide extra value to their customers.  At the same time, dealerships are reaping the benefits of incremental sales, service revenues, and long-term engagement with their customers.”

“Mobile Apps offer great benefits to dealerships as they are able to gather insight into their customer behaviour,” says Pulse Auto Dealer App’s President Mohan Markandaier. “Ensuring that the customers are downloading the apps and seeing its value is key. Partnering with The Moran Group will now allow dealerships to work with one of the leading agencies in digital advertising to realize the full potential of Mobile Marketing.”

Branded Mobile Apps present huge opportunities for dealerships to grow their businesses. These Branded Mobile Apps also continue to enhance the overall customer experience.
