Get started selling dmSwitchboard12

There are two basic ways of selling dmSwitchboard12 online.

• Via the new dmSwitchboard12 affiliate sales site
• Via a site you build yourself, using eComponents.

This page explains a bit more about your sales options for these two approaches.

The new dmSwitchboard12 affiliate sales site

A fully functional dmSwitchboard12 needs the following components:

• dmSwitchboard12
• dmCalls12
• One or more dmConnect numbers.

We have created a self-contained sales site that offers all these components, along with the information customers will need to make their purchasing decision. We are calling this the dmSwitchboard12 affiliate sales site.

Your own branded affiliate sales site

Your dmSwitchboard12 affiliate sales site is available for you at: http://<YOUR DEALER BRAND>.dmswitchboard12.com. It will display with your dealer brand name.

In this current release it's not possible to add your own logo or change the stylesheet. However we are planning to add these features in future development rounds.

Point your own domain at the Sales Site

You can also have your own domain pointing to CNAME dmswitchboard12.com.

Creating your own site using eComponents [Release Mon 09 Jul 12]

If you don't want to use the dmSwitchboard12 affiliate sales site, you can create your own website using our eComponents. If you're new to your dmClub dealership, eComponents are embeddable sales widgets that you copy and paste into your own website. (Click here to read more about eComponents).

You will need basic web design skills to create your own sales site, but the sales components including number choosers, dmCalls12, dmSwitchboard12 and checkout elements can be configured in the Dealer Marketing Resources wizard and copied and pasted into your own sales site.

Sell dmSwitchboard12 and dmCalls12 by embedding a Universal Product eComponent into a sales site, configured using the drop-down menu to sell dmSwitchboard12 or dmCalls12.
