Automotive advertising agencies have been forced to take on additional responsibilities in today’s troubled economy.  Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., (AAOL), and host of their sponsored automotive advertising social networking resource portal — http://AdAgencyOnline.Net — recently promoted the 2010 NADA Convention on his blog talk radio show, “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising.”  Philip described the NADA convention as a “must attend event” for his independent affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer/vendor clients and site visitors that regularly tune in to listen and learn from Philip and the auto industry experts featured on his blog talk radio shows.

Philip suggested the NADA Convention as a means to stay ahead of the competition by learning about the new automotive advertising technologies and applications being introduced by the vendors and speakers that will be featured at the convention.  The 2010 NADA Convention is being held in Orlando, Florida this February 12th. through February 15th., 2010 at the Orlando Convention Center.  Additional information on the convention is available at the NADA website — http://NADA.Org — and their online pre-registration savings of $50 -$75 has been extended to January 27th., 2010.  Philip advised his online audience to register before the deadline to take advantage of the discount with the confidence that their investment of their time and money will provide a R.O.I. that can’t be duplicated by any online auto industry-centric venue; including his own AdAgencyOnline.Net.

Agency Online, L.L.C. is a national network of independent affiliated automotive advertising agencies connected by the proprietary online communication/distribution system developed by Philip Zelinger in December of 2001.  The unique operating system that links these automotive advertising agencies was designed as a means to leverage the resources of the participating automotive advertising agencies, production partners and select automotive advertising vendors to allow them to compete with national automotive advertising agencies.  The resulting savings in fixed and semi-variable expenses coupled with access to a wide variety of production and creative resources for the member agencies was made possible through their use of online technologies that were developed to support the growing World Wide Web. 

According to Philip, these same technologies must be applied to the internal processes of auto dealerships to allow them to survive in a consolidating auto industry.  The combination of the resulting efficiencies realized in technology enhanced selling systems in brick and mortar auto dealerships integrated with their online showrooms and the newly developing automotive advertising applications being applied by automotive advertising agencies to promote their auto dealer clients on the Internet is the key to profitability today and survival tomorrow.  The NADA Convention allows auto industry vendors to present new cutting edge automotive advertising applications to auto dealers and automotive advertising agencies who are anxious to gain an advantage over the competition.  More importantly, in a consolidating auto industry auto dealers must sell more for less to satisfy budget conscious and better educated online car buyers and the technology being applied to sell vehicles on the Internet Super Highway is the way to do it!

The blog talk radio station featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net — WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time – is another example of how a new technology platform can enhance the reach and performance of an automotive advertising agency in today’s Internet driven marketplace.  Philip uses various blog talk radio shows in addition to his Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising show including the “Automotive Advertising Experts” and “Lunch With Ralph Discussing Automotive Advertising” shows.  These programs serve as an online communication system for AAOL to share best practices and new vendor applications with his affiliates and site visitors surfing the web to get the inside story on the auto industry.  In addition, WAAOL attracts new vendors anxious to tell their story to the automotive advertising decision makers who follow the shows which allows AAOL to review cutting edge automotive advertising applications before competing agencies even know that they exist.

Several automotive advertising vendor clients of AAOL were discovered during their online reviews on WAAOL and most of them will be represented at the NADA Convention.  According to Philip, the NADA Convention is the perfect real world venue to launch new products and services and this year is no exception.

For example, ronsmap is a game changing online car buying/selling site for both consumers and dealers that has scheduled their product launch to coincide with the 2010 NADA Convention.  According to Philip, ronsmap makes car buying fast, comprehensive, transparent and live.  Their new technology gives consumers unparalleled buying and negotiating power over the car buying/selling processes including the opportunity to accommodate For Sale By Owner listings.  More uniquely, they provide auto dealers with an unprecedented level of sales intelligence on consumer leads while enabling them to promote and engage consumers via social networks. 

ronsmap is similar to other inventory based third party websites in that they offer the leverage of multiple inventories to enhance their S.E.O. vs. individual auto dealer websites, however, their proprietary application utilizes a unique map-like internal search engine driven by consumer preferences on a local level.  The site places all vehicles that fit the consumer’s search criteria on the same page with no premium positions offered to dealers to skew the search results.  Of equal value is the fact that they recognize today’s consumer preference for pull/push marketing with their incorporated social networking application — vBack.  Marketing to consumers in social networking communities requires resources, tools and skill sets to compliment and supplement auto dealer’s other online selling efforts.  ronsmap provides all of these elements in a cost effective, scalable manner while delivering consolidated market intelligence not currently offered through other resources.

Their vBack application leverages word of mouth marketing through the use of viral messages distributed through social networking.  They embed a social media engine directly within the vehicles posted on ronsmap as well as on the auto dealers individual websites.  vBack extends the auto dealers’ reach, promotes confidence for consumers through their solicited comments from their online friends on their contemplated vehicle purchase and it drives more consumers to the auto dealers websites.

Another new application being introduced on the ronsmap platform is SellersVantage.  This product allows auto dealers to communicate with online consumers early in their decision cycle.  It offers the dealer information on other vehicles and feature/benefits the consumer is looking for, market availability to determine if they have the only vehicle that fits the consumer’s needs including comparative pricing to know how they rank in the market before they open negotiations.  This process allows the dealer to improve their closing ratios and preserve profit.

Additionally, the Intelli-Leads developed by their applications include more than just the customer name, email address, contact information and questions about the vehicle that they are interested in.  They include market intelligence, comparative intelligence, social demographic and social profile intelligence that define the prospect and that allows the dealer to insure that their first offer in the online negotiation process is competitive while preserving gross profit.

Another vendor client of AAOL that will be launching new applications at the 2010 NADA Convention is SiSTeR Technologies.  Their “Video CarLot” is an automated video production platform with newly enhanced applications including vShock and VidBrid.  SiSTeR converts still pictures posted on the auto dealers’ website into professionally produced videos using human voice and video footage with embedded search words, meta tags and individual URLs assigned to each video.  The videos are posted on the auto dealers websites plus they are individually pushed through their dedicated API to You Tube and all third party advertisers that the auto dealer is marketing its inventory on.  The resulting enhanced S.E.O. to the dealer is obvious.

Other vendor clients of AAOL or preferred automotive advertising vendors on AdAgencyOnline.Net that will be represented at the NADA Convention include Bull Dog Marketing Technologies, Kihon Media, Argistics, DealMaker.Com, Laser Stream Videos, CityTwist and Gumiyo — amongst others.  The list of automotive advertising vendors that Philip intends to review is too long to list, however, he did reference them during his recent Automotive Advertising Experts show which is available for download at http://blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline . 

Automotive advertising agencies know that they must apply cutting edge automotive advertising technologies to their online marketing plans that integrate with proven selling processes in their auto dealer clients’ real and virtual world showrooms but they don’t know where to find them.  According to Philip Zelinger, AdAgencyOnline.Net will provide an excellent filter to find the newest and the best but the NADA Convention is the place to see them all in one place and one time in an environment where the decision makers from both the automotive advertising agency and the vendor can sit across the table and work out the best deal for both.

For additional information on Ad Agency Online, LLC, the 2010 NADA Convention in Orlando, Florida or any of the vendors that Philip Zelinger will be representing or reviewing visit http://AdAgencyOnline.Net or contact Philip directly at 1-888-796-2228.  To quote Philip Zelinger, “Help is only a click away.  After all, what are friends for!”

AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising focused social networking portal hosted by Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., (AAOL). The site reviews cutting edge automotive advertising technologies and vendor applications on their blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time - to share best practices with the affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer/vendor clients of AAOL and a growing audience of automotive advertising insiders who follow and support the site. Philip Zelinger, the President of AAOL and host of WAAOL recently announced his support for several new technologies and digital marketing applications that can be applied to an old world automotive advertising platform – Point of Purchase, (P.O.P.), Merchandising.

Philip explained the past and pending role of P.O.P. merchandising for automobile dealerships and how new technologies have allowed automotive advertising agencies and auto dealers to consider adding it to their limited automotive advertising budgets. “After investing 25 plus years as a General Manager and Dealer Principal, followed by the last 10 years advising my affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer clients on how to maximize the R.O.I. for their automotive advertising dollars, I am still amazed how proven old world advertising methods are being re-invented by today’s technology.”

“One of my affiliated automotive advertising agencies, DealerKnows, Inc. – owned and operated by Joe Webb and Gilbert Chavez, has announced their involvement in a new company, DealerSignage, Inc., (DS), that provides custom content delivered directly to the T.V. in an auto dealer’s customer lounge. This kind of automotive advertising message delivered to a captive targeted audience in an auto dealership’s facility to his existing customers has an experienced R.O.I. that can only increase as the quality of the content is improved.”

“Another automotive advertising solution tied to P.O.P. is provided by a vendor client of AAOL – Argisitics, L.L.C. and their AutoTransaXion platform. Argistics has developed a dynamic interactive video wall supported by their AutoTransaXion application – a customer interaction platform – that can be placed in an auto dealership’s service lounge or showroom offering informational videos linked directly to an expert sales or service advisor at the dealership. The process uses Argistics’ proprietary two way video customer interaction platform integrated with the auto dealer’s CRM and DMS to push and pull any information that the customer or the dealer needs to move towards a sale. The ability to promote sales and service specials within the dealership, or even to cross-sell various brands and models for a dealership that represents multiple franchises from one location linked to many others, is just one example of the new marketing capabilities presented by this method of P.O.P. merchandising.”

“PrimeTyme, Inc. is yet another vendor/client of AAOL that has joined the P.O.P. revolution with their unique video panel. The panel is only 1/8″ thick and it can be cut to any size or shape to display a crystal clear video signal with any content that can be delivered to a computer or T.V. screen. The obvious application for the content delivered by DealerSignage or the unique interactive information center provided by Argistics is the future of P.O.P. merchandising and the reason it has earned a place in any automotive advertising plan.”

About Argistics, L.L.C.

Argistics LLC., is a leading developer of CIM software solutions to contact centers, BPO’s, and retailers worldwide. Based in Marietta, GA, Argistics is the developer of web based solutions to assist companies in engaging their customers through video and chat technology and to help online customer’s complete web based interactions.

About DealerKnows, Inc., DealerSignage, L.L.C. and PrimeTyme, Inc.

Gilbert Chavez, the CEO of DealerSignage,(DS), Joe Webb, the COO of DS and Keith Williams, the CTO and VP of DS joined forces to address the growing importance of point of purchase merchandizing for auto dealers’ and the advantage of using digital signage to deliver timely and targeted automotive advertising messages to an auto dealer’s current customers as well as drive by traffic. Joe Webb and Gilbert Chavez are also partnered in a related auto industry focused consulting firm, DealerKnows, Inc. DealerKnows is an independent automotive advertising consulting firm that is an affiliated office of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C.

Dealer Signage provides the software, hardware, content and consulting services to deliver a targeted marketing message in an auto dealership through televisions strategically placed in key locations throughout the dealership. The ability to cross-sell between sales and service with a custom dealer message delivered in an active border wrapped around a live T.V. broadcast allows a dealer to talk to their existing customers. Specialized hardware and software provided by select vendors allows Dealer Signage to use state of the art technology to customize not only the content but the method of delivery.

PrimeTyme, an approved vendor of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. that was introduced to Dealer Signage, provides a proprietary video projection screen that can be placed on a showroom window, a wall or even as a free standing panel to allow the dealer to provide an interactive experience for customers visiting the showroom or even to pedestrian and drive by traffic outside the showroom. The digital billboard value of this application is obvious; however, the more unique ability to allow customers to actually touch the screen to interact with the message opens up a new world of opportunities. In addition to being able to answer questions to draw customers into the showroom the technology is able to track the people who stop to watch the screen with existing facial recognition software. The next generation of applications being developed promise to provide verifiable R.O.I. and extended marketing methods that will further enhance the value of the services provided by Dealer Signage.

AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising networking portal sponsored by Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., (AAOL). The automotive advertising site leverages the resources of a national network of independent automotive advertising agencies and automotive advertising vendors to benefit their auto dealer clients and share best practices with their affiliated automotive advertising agencies. Philip Zelinger, the President of AAOL and host of the blog talk radio station featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time - will be interviewing Al Cantarella, the President of an affiliated automotive advertising agency of AAOL, Advertising Technologies, Inc., on “The Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising” show. The show is scheduled to air live Monday, June 29^th, 2009 between 12:00 Noon EST and 12:30 PM EST, however it can be downloaded as a podcast after the show by visiting www.blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline .

The blog talk radio show will introduce a new email based community automotive advertising campaign hosted by CityTwist that is scheduled to begin its national launch on July 15^th, 2009. The packaged marketing platform consists of a targeted 100,000 piece email blast sent to a 15 mile radius from the participating automobile dealerships. The proprietary list of opt in email addresses used for the email blast as well as the online distribution platform and creative is being provided by CityTwist, a preferred automotive advertising vendor featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net. The list is filtered by zip codes, relevant demographic and household information sourced from the Post Office to maximize the R.O.I. for the participating automobile dealerships. The fee per dealer is based on a 10,000 piece email blasts with their own sales or service offers but the price per email is based on the leveraged price earned by the 100,000 piece volume discount. At the time of this article the price has not been confirmed, however it is expected to represent a deep discount for participating auto dealers.

Added value for auto dealers participating in the “Community Sales Event” will be offered in the form of free promotions provided by some of the preferred automotive advertising vendors featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net that will be supporting the promotion. SiSTeR Technologies Video CarLot is an automated video production application that converts the still pictures on an auto dealer’s website to video and then distributes them to selected third party advertisers as well as the search engines through their dedicated API with You Tube. Auto dealers participating in their local Community Sales Event will be invited to take advantage of SiSTeR Technologies “5/50 – No Car Left Behind” promotion that will convert 50 of their web site’s vehicles into videos posted on their site. In addition, 5 of those videos will be pushed to You Tube with no contract obligation or fees. In addition, the packages will include a six month agreement with Argistics for the use of their customer interaction application – AutoTransaXion. The basic service included in the promotion provides a two way video chat program linked from the email blast connecting directly to the participating auto dealer’s sales staff or BDC. The service will extend beyond the sales dates for the email blast and will serve as the ultimate conversion tool when installed onto the dealer’s website. Finally, all participating auto dealerships will be invited to post their entire used car inventory on EveryCarListed.Com for no fees and no contract in accordance with their standard dealer agreement. This inventory based website is quickly growing into one of the most visited websites on the Internet and it boasts exposure for auto dealers on the WWW that they could not achieve on their own.

Philip Zelinger described the unique value of the Community Sales Event for his affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer clients and site visitors, “In today’s troubled times everyone is looking for ways to do more with less. Ad Agency Online was formed to leverage the resources of the independent affiliated automotive advertising agencies that use our proprietary online communication / distribution system as the “ultimate outsourcing tool.” AdAgencyOnline.Net took our leveraged and linked resources to the next level by inviting cutting edge automotive advertising vendors to join our online social networking community to further serve our affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer clients. The Community Sales event links four of our preferred automotive advertising vendor clients into one offering. CityTwist provides the distribution channel through their online “Do It Yourself” automated email application, Argistics provides an integrated conversion tool to increase sales and service opportunities, SiSTeR Technologies provides their video productions to reduce the bounce rate and increase conversions on the participating auto dealership’s websites and EveryCarListed.Com extends the reach of the campaign by enhancing the dealer’s presence on the WWW. It is a perfect example of “connecting the dots” of networked relationship and resources. Combine these technologies with the dollar leverage of a community sales event and you can’t beat it!”

To quote Philip, “Help is only a click away!”

AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising networking/resource portal that shares best practices with automotive advertising agencies, auto dealers and automotive advertising vendors to help them solve common problems in today’s troubled auto industry. Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host of the blog talk radio station featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time - will review Colliers International – Las Vegas Land and Evaluation Group on his blog talk radio show, “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising.” The show will air today, Tuesday, June 16^th 2009 between 12:00 Noon EST and 12:30 PM EST.

Philip explained the apparent departure of his automotive advertising show to discuss real estate with his online audience, “The impact of consolidations in the auto industry brought about by a sluggish economy and accelerated by the recent bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler demands a new definition of “full service automotive advertising” by agencies anxious to help their auto dealer clients survive in a shrinking auto industry. Conventional automotive advertising has already shifted to more cost effective Internet based digital marketing investments and integrated selling systems that link the newly developing virtual showrooms on the World Wide Web with proven selling processes in the real world. As brick and mortar dealerships are eliminated the surviving auto dealers are being driven onto the Internet Super Highway to maintain market share and profitability. The shift to online marketing plans does not replace the need for brick and mortar facilities but the efficiencies enjoyed by virtual showrooms suggests the need to reduce the expenses and capital required to support them. Real estate has always represented the single largest investment and fixed expense for auto dealers and it is only logical that it should be adjusted to accommodate the reduced sales volume and profit margins that exist now and in the foreseeable future. Auto dealers need help to reduce expenses and maximize their R.O.I. on many levels and today’s full service automotive advertising agency must expand their services to earn their agency fees.”

“I joined Colliers Abood Wood-Fay Real Estate to help them develop a specialized auto industry division – Colliers Automotive Real Estate Services, (C.A.R.S.), to provide additional insights and resources to facilitate auto dealer acquisitions and dispositions for my auto dealer clients. Colliers International – Las Vegas Land and Evaluation Group is an independent commercial real estate office of Colliers International and a valued member of C.A.R.S. Today’s show features an interview with Grant Traub and Keith Cubba from the Las Vegas office to discuss the unique problems and solutions that exist in the Las Vegas market. I decided to feature a different office each month on WAAOL to introduce some of the many opportunities that are available for those forward thinking auto dealers that are in a position to acquire new franchises and facilities at today’s reduced prices. I am also challenged to assist those dealers that have decided to sell or reduce the size of their facilities as a result of financial or factory pressures.”

Grant Traub commented in advance of his interview to explain his reasons for joining C.A.R.S. and for appearing on WAAOL, “Las Vegas is struggling due to the recession which clobbered the tourist industry. Local car dealerships are hurt and some stores are closing. Now is an excellent time for out of market dealerships to obtain new points in a world class city.”

AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising resource / networking portal that usually focuses on reviewing cutting edge automotive advertising technologies and Internet based applications for their online audience of auto industry insiders, automotive advertising agencies and auto dealers. Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., (AAOL), and host of the blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time – featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net, will address the growing concerns of the automotive advertising industry regarding the bankruptcy of Chrysler and the potential bankruptcy of General Motors on his show, Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising, in an interview with attorney Lewis Kuhl. The anticipated informative exchange of information on the changing landscape of the auto industry is scheduled to be broadcast live Monday, May 18^th 2009 between 12:00 Noon EST and 12:30 PM EST on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline .

The blog talk radio show is an open business meeting with the affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer / vendor clients of AAOL that shares best practices with the online audience of automotive advertising decision makers who tune into WAAOL to listen and learn from Philip Zelinger and his invited guests. Philip explained his reasons for inviting Lewis Kuhl to help him analyze the impact of the recent and pending bankruptcies in the auto industry, “It is obvious that automotive advertising agencies can’t keep doing business as usual in the wake of the consolidation in the auto industry. While I continue to counsel my affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer clients to maintain their market share through both conventional and Internet based digital advertising campaigns I recognize that reduced sales volumes brought about by conditions beyond the control of auto dealers requires special consideration. Conventional wisdoms in automotive advertising are built on free market principals and human nature with experienced success insuring a projected R.O.I. Unfortunately, the artificial and in some ways arbitrary decisions by the administration to reduce the number of Chrysler and General Motors dealerships has created a dynamic that does not follow established principals. Since the rules have changed through a legal process I thought it best to talk to someone who can shed some light on what is happening in the Bankruptcy Courts and how it will impact the auto industry as we know it. I have known and trusted Lewis Kuhl for many years and I have relied on his expertise in dealing with a variety of issues that I faced as both an auto dealer and an automotive advertising agency. Frankly, I couldn’t think of a more experienced attorney to turn to for advice on how to deal with the issues that are facing the automotive advertising industry in today’s troubled economy.”
