Can Artificial Intelligence Make Better Logos Than Designers?
Started by Hina Eni in WEBSITE CONTENT - How to Get Visitors to Interact, Engaging Content, Driving Increased Website Visitor-to-Dealer Contact Conversion Rates. Last reply by Hina Eni 4 hours ago. 2 Replies 0 Likes
This era belongs to the artificial intelligence because humans are quickly getting replaced by the computers and algorithms for completing the task. Considering the role of web design agencies in Dubai, they now face the challenges of creating best UI design based websites by using the phenomena of highly effective logos and stickers. The sites designing agencies now deliver the best websites by creating creative logos at affordable prices. Therefore, they make use of the artificial intelligence, because it generates excellent options, and help them in the development of logos. The client selects five logos from twenty of them, which are then taken by following the strategy of typeface, icons, colour palette and tons of other options. A designer is required to produce the best logo by keeping in consideration the requirement of the client and designing the logo using interactive colours and stickers to meet the…Continue

Dealers Do Not Need To Buy All New Technology To Go High-Tech, Just Make a Few Tweaks!
Started by Ralph Paglia in DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT, MONITORING and REPORTS - Achievements, Milestones, Sales Team and Organizational Leadership Topics, awards or achievements you and your team have earned Apr 4. 0 Replies 1 Like
Vehicles have advanced by leaps and bounds. New vehicles have smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available Wi-Fi hotspots, and some of the most amazing and massive capacitive touchscreens in the dash. Despite in-vehicle tech advances, there’s an accepted theory that the automotive industry is notoriously slow to adopt new technology at the dealership level. Ralph Paglia of Automotive Digital Marketing says that’s not necessarily the case. “As much as we seem to hear about this "Tech Aversion" factor being ascribed to the car business, I believe it is an exaggeration based on conservatively managed brick and mortar business owner reluctant to tamper with a profitable business model when the numbers…Continue

Having been the Editor-In-Chief and managed the ADM Professional Community for over ten years now, it seems that every technology development, software and application being sold to car dealers, along with various service provider programs and just about anything somebody conceives of that they would like to sell car dealers has been pitched to me at some point... Usually in the form of a product demonstration, sometimes starting with a two minute "Elevator Pitch". The vast majority of time I have considered incumbent upon my obligations to this professional network to listen, watch, take notes, try it out, talk to any dealers currently using the widget in question and generally become aware of what it is, what it costs and what the claimed Return On Investment (ROI) is all about... The how when and why…Continue
NADA Booth 3529C: MarketPrice+ From JD Power Enables More Used Car Profits

NADA tidbit for attendees: The only formula you need to maximize your used vehicle profits... It may seem crazy to some, but JD Power thinks using actual retail sales performance from your market (MarketPrice+) helps car dealers make better decisions. Unlike other sources, MarketPrice+ gives you the ability to see what is profitable in your market, what turns well, and more importantly, what doesn’t!Wholesale and Inventory Listing Data are important, but leave out critical transactional details. Imagine knowing what the actual selling price was, travel/turn rates, and what actual recapped sales profits are, and using those insights to radically improve your acquisition and trade-in decisions. Pick the winners and avoid the duds!Because MarketPrice+ uses actual dealer transactional data, not what cars are listed at, or estimated values, participating…Continue

This past year we saw a massive increase used automotive Internet usage (AIU) rate, as 68% of all used-vehicle buyers went online during the vehicle shopping process versus 63% in 2009.

It’s no secret that auto manufacturers are creating better vehicles than ever before – safer, more feature-rich, higher quality, and more reliable.

As illustrated below, these […]The Future of Satellite Radio
As more in-vehicle audio and entertainment options become available to consumers, the question of satellite radio’s relevance has become more prominent. Most vehicle sold today have satellite radio at least as an option, if not standard, and most new car buyers are given a trial subscription, usually anywhere from one to six months. This gives […]Bringing in younger buyers
The average age of new-vehicle buyers increased dramatically from 46.5 in 2008 to 53.4 in 2010 (Source: 2010 Auto Offline Media Report – Summer) as lower income buyers – who are often younger – were forced out of the market due to the poor economic environment.
