Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov famously tantalized his dogs by ringing a bell to alert them that food was about to be served. The dogs, soon wise enough to associate the sound of a tinkling bell with a big juicy steak, began to salivate each time the bell tolled.
This associated behavior is known as “classical conditioning,” and the parallel between the doghouse and the dealership cannot be clearer. Obviously, the incoming…

The Calgary auto show I visited last week probably has the same format as other auto shows across the country. It provides a great opportunity for manufacturers to strut their stuff - lots of glitz, some glamour and plenty of consumer interest. After all, this is one of the few events where consumers pay for the privilege of being qualified and sold to.
I’m not…

I have been around for a day or two. This car biz is really in my blood. Started when I was a kid, really. Back in the day when you could tell what year and model an automobile was by looking at the tail lamps at night. (A game I played with my Dad in the 60's)
Increase marketing effectiveness 200% to 800% without spending any extra money. And measure effectiveness of this program in hours after launch. That is why I am stunned. I thought I had seen just about…

I posted that one of my goals was to help 12 dealers increase their marketshare and decrease their marketing expences. I am happy to say that one dealer so far is well on their way towards market share improvement.
We developed an agressive campaign. One that includes facebook, twitter, first page on Google and other search engines. There are key-word ads as well as intuitive placement on hundreds of popular web sites. We will also send the information on this dealer out through…

Car-Mercial has developed a way to squeeze others off of the first page of search results. The results made my chin drop! They do this by producing a large amount of custom professional videos for each of their clients. These videos are matched with an extensive key word list (unique to each brand/vehicle/location) and uploaded to numerous video search engines. From there the videos get picked up by thousands of additional sites and displayed all over…

I remember sitting in my office at Robberson Ford in beautiful Bend Oregon a couple years ago. It was a day not unlike today, clear but cold. I was having a terrible conversation with a
gentleman who had submitted an inquiry on a pre-owned vehicle. He’d been a mortgage broker for the previous 25years, and, like so many of the real estate affiliated customers I’d been talking to…

With the seemingly hundreds of lead generating tools or leads to buy out there who do you choose. Well I have found that buying "scrubbed" leads from a provider is almost a total waste of resources. How did the provider get the lead to begin with? Well I've come understand that they buy them from someone who bought them from someone else and so on and so forth well that's not appealing to me not to mention in the right now frame of mind of I-net customers those leads are often 1-2 days old…

1. Enhance Customer Experience. Most car shoppers dread the experience of drudging to the local car dealership to shop for a vehicle. There is a preconceived notion that car buying is a difficult experience. The solution for shoppers to obtain basic information without having to interact face-to-face with a salesman is Internet shopping. That’s right. Car shopping has gone online and shoppers are using your website and…
