  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MESSAGE TETHERING AND TAGGING
    Publication number: 20140122297
    Abstract: A tethering and tagging system is especially advantageous for automobile sales. Tethering provides the seller with the portable means to text message a consumer from a mobile device while keeping an ongoing record within the main system. The tagging element provides the seller with detailed information about the product for which the end-user has an interest. This is done through a direct database query and does not require the end-user to enter or select the product on a web page (or mobile web page) form.
