Car Toys Attracts Nearly 6,000 Leads and Converts Over $50,000 in Sales in the First Two Months of Using Podium
LEHI, Utah, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Podium, the leading communication and payments platform for local businesses, today announced that Car Toys, the largest independent multi-channel specialty car audio and mobile electronics retailer in America, attracted nearly 6,000 leads and converted over $50,000 in sales in the first two months of using the Podium platform.
Car Toys began using Podium Webchat to capture web leads and better streamline the experience of scheduling customers for installation appointments in one of its 48 stores. After seeing the power of Webchat in driving qualified leads that led to increased revenue, the company expanded their use of Podium to include the Feedback, Campaigns and Reviews products, replacing their previous reviews tool.
"The success we've seen using Podium has been incredible, and almost immediate," said Daniela Lukomski, marketing director at Car Toys. "As we continue to strengthen our relationship, our next step is rolling out Podium Reviews enterprise-wide. This feature will help us improve our Google reviews and rankings across our 48 locations, which is paramount to a brick and mortar business like us."
In addition to the customer experience tools, Car Toys relies on Podium's sophisticated reporting functionality to better understand the demand for products in different geographies and markets.
"As companies everywhere continue to elevate their digital transformation, we're excited to play a part," said Nick Miller, VP of retail at Podium. "The impact that Car Toys experienced in such a short amount of time exemplifies the impact that Podium's one-to-one texting conversations and Webchat communications tool can have on a business."
