Putting offers directly in the shopper’s hand.

Hyundai wanted a more direct, higher-intent line to shoppers than email or display could provide. Onit Digital implemented a text-messaging program that delivers the right offer straight to the shopper’s phone — and turns a tap into a dealer lead.

The challenge

Hyundai had compelling offers but needed a more immediate, personal way to reach shoppers. Email gets buried and display gets ignored — and neither makes it easy for an interested shopper to act in the moment. The brand wanted a direct channel that lands on the device people actually check, with a frictionless path from “interested” to a real dealer conversation.

What we built

Onit Digital implemented a text-messaging program for Hyundai — opt-in SMS — to deliver offers and move shoppers toward their dealer.

How it played out

Text put the offer where shoppers would actually see it. Open and engagement rates ran well ahead of email, and the “tap to act” simplicity meant interested shoppers moved toward a dealer in seconds rather than days. It became one of Hyundai’s most direct, highest-intent touchpoints.

The impact

What a direct messaging channel changed for Hyundai.

A direct line to shoppers
Offers land on the device people actually check, instead of competing for attention in a crowded inbox or ad feed.
One-tap path to the dealer
“Text me this offer” turns interest into a real dealer conversation in seconds, not days.
Higher-intent engagement
Messaging reaches shoppers who opted in, making it one of Hyundai’s most engaged, highest-intent touchpoints.
Compliant by design
Consent-based opt-in, clean opt-out, and managed cadence keep the program trustworthy and on the right side of regulation.
