Distinguishing clearly between the mobile platform and the desktop platform is of paramount importance when it comes to search engine optimization. More specifically, mobile platform has not just influenced the way businesses used to represent themselves over the internet but, it has entirely changed the concept of online branding. Now SEO experts put greater attention to the area of content that fits best when it comes to reading it on mobile devices. Moreover, it has been also observed that mobile search terms vary a lot from the desktop search terms. And above all, according to a digital marketing in Virginia, mobile friendliness continues to grow as a trending priority when it comes to executing SEO plans in the year 2017 where concepts such as Google AMP has been launched that largely focuses on showing up the best content results…Continue

When I was teaching the Sonic Dealer Academy from 2001 through 2008, my co-instructor, Steve Hallock, became famous for asking each class, “Why do you think we spend so much time talking about the Service Department? It’s because, at a 75% gross profit margin on labor sales, this department offers, by far, the greatest incentive to increase sales. That was then, and many dealership owners and managers looked at service gross potential that way.These days, however, I’m coaching my clients to also recognize the value of the “associated gross” that is developed when we increase service labor sales. I’m sure most of you grasp how adding 5 more R.O.s per month, increasing hours per R.O. by two tenths, and increasing the labor rate by $0.50 can increase labor sales. But most dealership owners and managers are absolutely shocked by the increased overall gross profit developed when we consider the “associated” sales.What do I mean? After performing this exercise with hundreds of NCM Institute…Continue

Netflix for Cars?Most Consumers Unaware of SubscriptionsWith the growing availability of subscriptions for new and used vehicles in the auto industry, Autolist.com wanted to see how aware consumers are of this new ownership model...

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.

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 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
