How it Works
Setting up your code is easy!
You can add a link to either your own website or a mobile listing site created on the DriveBuy system. Our built-in link shortener saves space in the text message response and tracks every click.
You can buy your text message signs or sign riders from us, or have your own sign vendor make them. Whatever you choose, get those signs out there!
Every time a prospect texts the code on your sign you’ll receive a lead capture notification via e-mail and/or text message.
