What It Is

• Text Direct is a lead generation service which connects prospective buyers directly with Hammer World sellers in real-time.
• Because Hammer World listing promotions live forever on the internet the lead generation benefit never goes away.
• This is accomplished using Hammer World’s built in functionality for private SMS communication between anyone, anywhere in the world, and Hammer World members.
• Incoming messages are confidentially routed to the listing member – the member decides if and when to respond to messages – their personal contact information is never disclosed.
• Members must opt-in one-time to Text Direct to receive messages related to their listings – after that everything is fully automated.
• Text Direct is automatically added at each new listing activation with unique Hammer World Listing ID used as the Text Direct keyword – which must be included in the SMS message for routing.
• The Text Direct keyword and Hammer World’s SMS number is published throughout Hammer World’s marketing channels.

What It Is

• Hammer World generates a custom hashtag for each listing to allow for locating and communicating listings across multiple platforms, including Motorsport Network and social media.
• The hashtag structure is #HSxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the unique listing (auction) ID on Hammer World.
• Hammer World publishes the unique hashtag for each listing throughout its marketing and promotion channels.
• Unique hashtags allow users to easily find, follow and engage in Twitter discussion threads and to find listings on the Motorsport Network chat sites.

Twitter

• Hammer World utilizes Twitter for listing promotion and as a discussion platform outside of its log in wall.
• Each new listing is automatically posted to Twitter using proprietary Hammer World hashtags along with search optimized hashtagged keywords.
• In this way Twitter is used to reach the widest possible audience worldwide, rather than being focused on followers (similar to our VIN program on Google – see below).
• Throughout its marketing channels Hammer World pushes traffic to Twitter using its hastag system to in order to promote views, dialogue and retweets.
• On SC Sage the Twitter Hashtag Locator app for Hammer World generates a Twitter page of all tweets using a specific listing’s unique hashtag.

Google VIN Based SEO

• When a listing is activated multiple posts are made to Motorsport Network properties and to social media, predominantly Twitter.
• The page links (URL) for these posts are proactively submitted to Google for search indexing by Google bots.
• A Google VIN search then typically ranks in top ten search results.
• A Google search by the VIN is the most common method used to find information on a vehicle of interest.
• And the links live forever on the internet tied to the listing member.

• SC Sage sends from 3,000 to 20,000 emails per day to its internal select lists of opt-in global supercar enthusiasts.
