eferrals have always been the number one way to generate new sales while also driving the most profitable business transactions. This fact will never change but what has changed is where your customers are getting referrals today.
Online review sites, such as Google, Yelp, Dealerrater and Cars.com amongst many others, are the number one influencers with consumers when it comes to their confidence in doing business with your dealership. As a result of this shift in the referral model, dealers must establish and maintain a very positive presence on these sites and be proactive in taking control of their "Digital Word of Mouth".

“TCPA risk is radically minimized with the eXtéres digital signature consent solution.
With the consent secured directly from the consumer’s digital signature on an actual agreement, the consumer is provided unprecedented campaign
clarity, while the Dealer has the assurance of a signed digital file to archive”

When it comes to the subject of text messaging and TCPA Compliance, there are literally hundreds of opinions and even more information online about the various FCC rulings and declarations, as well as, much legal advice on this topic.
To say the least, there is certainly a lot of room for interpretation which tends to be more of a bad thing than good (at least from a legal liability perspective).
Consider...
The FCC has defined what amounts to “prior express written consent” effective October 16, 2013, as...
an agreement, in writing, bearing the signature of the person called that clearly authorizes the seller to deliver or cause to be delivered to the person called advertisements or telemarketing messages using an automated telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice, and the telephone number to which the signatory authorizes such advertisements or telemarketing messages to be delivered.
[t]he written agreement shall include a clear and conspicuous disclosure informing the person signing that:
Finally, the definition notes that “the term ‘signature’ shall include an electronic or digital form of signature, to the extent that such form of signature is recognized as a valid signature under applicable federal law or state contract law.”
Purely informational calls (or text messages) will not be subject to this “prior express written consent” requirement; however, they are subject to "prior express consent". Where is the line? Consider perhaps who benefits the most from the communication, the sender or the recipient, this might serve as a good litmus test as to how one's texting practices might be interpreted when put to the legal test.
