As Ralph suggests, any advertising or marketing strategy should be evaluated on its own to determine if it has value to your marketing strategy. Autotrader.com and Cars.com have vocal fans and vocal detractors but I’m not sure how much of that is ba…

Drew Davies commented on Alvin Newton's blog post 'Using Your Dealer.com Site To It's Full Potential!'

I've put Dealer.com into over a dozen stores. Every single time I am pleased. The bend over backwards to accommodate with personal one-on-one service, and offer a robust, feature-rich, solid technology platform.

Are you an Autobase user? Where do you do business?

At 9:41pm on July 26, 2008, Ralph Paglia said…: Drew,

It is great to see you here... I am in my home office getting prepared for next week's Digital Marketing Consulting visit to a Ford dealership... And, despite the fact that I should be doing something else, like expense reports, I just had to go online to see if there were any new Automotive Digital Marketing Group members for me to welcome.

Both myself, and the rest of the 1,100+ member ADM family are happy to see you have joined our professional community.

Please take a moment to share some more information about yourself and your professional role. Links, blog postings, photos and videos are all appreciated.

Please note that you can upload documents into any blog post or forum discussion for ADM members to download. There are already hundreds of PowerPoints, Excel Spreadsheets, Word Doc's, PDF files and more... We would be thrilled to get you to upload a few of yours to share with the community.

It was very nice of you to take the time to upload a profile photo so our ADM members can put a face with your name... I guarantee that you will get more out of ADM when people see you have uploaded such a nice profile photo!

I love seeing yet another automotive professional and industry colleague like yourself join the ADM community... When I checked the membership section a moment ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that we are now up to over 1,100 automotive sales and marketing professionals who have joined the ADM Community... With help from automotive marketing professionals like yourself, we broke the 1,000 member mark on the 4th of July, 2008!

Amazing support from an amazing industry... Makes the aggravation of flying around the country with a guy sitting next to me who keeps sticking his elbow into my ribs, somehow worth it!

Thanks for helping us get to this critical mass of over 1,100 members. I am thrilled and delighted to see that you have joined our community... Welcome and THANK YOU!

We are looking forward to any best practices, guidance, tactics, files, photos and videos you are willing to share with us.

Also, you have full access to your very own blog web site within this community, so feel free to get into the swing of things and use this community as a means of sharing with associates, customers, clients and friends!
