Automotive advertising agencies that support AdAgencyOnline.Net – a free automotive advertising resource portal recognized by the automotive advertising industry as “The One Stop Site For All Of Your Automotive Advertising Needs” – are speculating on which automotive advertising vendor will be the next one to be featured as a “preferred vendor” on the portal.  The short list is expected to include SiSTeR Technologies Video CarLot, DealMaker.Com, ABN Automotive Broadcasting Network with some possible alternates including G2PN, AdTel and two inventory management applications - JM Solutions AAX and vAuto.

Philip Zelinger, President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host to the blog talk radio station featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time – has refused to comment on the final selection but he has confirmed that all of these automotive advertising applications deserved his consideration.  Mr. Zelinger explained the criteria that are used to select only the best of the best automotive advertising vendors and applications to feature on AdAgencyOnline.Net,”Our affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealers rely on AdAgencyOnline.Net to help them maximize their R.O.I. for their automotive advertising dollars.  One of our key roles is to select applications and selling processes that integrate proven real world practices with the newly developing virtual showrooms.  We are not expecting to re-invent the wheel with the applications that we select, just to balance it a little.  Technology is growing faster than automotive advertising agencies can follow it and we free them up to sell vehicles and service for their auto dealer clients by reviewing only cutting edge applications, products and services.  We look for tools that build on existing data or selling processes that are already in place.  Automotive advertising budgets and staffs are limited by a shrinking auto industry and we need to add value without additional costs in money or time.”

Philip Zelinger will be hosting a seminar at The 5^th Digital Dealer Conference to be held at The Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine Texas between October 6^th and October 8^th and he has promised to reveal his final automotive advertising vendor selections at the conference.  Automotive advertising vendors that are currently featured as “preferred vendors” on the portal include LeadConverter, Laser Stream Video, Ai Dealer, ADP, BZ Results, NeoSynergy, Gumiyo, CarFolks.Com, Kihon Media, Reora, JL Media, SmartWomenBuyCars.Com and the affiliated independent automotive advertising agencies linked through Ad Agency Online, L.L.C..  Other automotive advertising vendors that appear regularly on the site’s blog talk radio shows include eBay Motors, NADA-24 and other auto industry social networking sites such as Automotive Digital marketing ADM, DealerRefresh.Com and Drivingsales.Com.

Agency Online, L.L.C. hosts of a free automotive advertising resource/networking portal – www.adagencyonline.net .   Philip Zelinger is the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host to the blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time – that is featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net.  Mr.  Zelinger is recognized by the automotive advertising industry as an expert on digital marketing and his knowledge of the retail auto industry earned during his twenty five plus years as a general manager and dealer principal has earned him an invitation to host a seminar at the 5^th Digital Dealer Conference to be held at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas October 6^th through October 8^th.  Automotive advertising insiders that support AdAgencyOnline.Net are planning to attend to listen and learn from Mr. Zelinger as he discusses the auto industry and the recent shift to online automotive advertising.

AdAgencyOnline.net focuses on automotive advertising technologies and applications that “blur the line between the real and the virtual world.”  The “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising” show on www.adagencyonline.net and www.blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline is a repeat performance with Michael Roscoe, the host of the 5^th Digital Dealer Conference, in a frank discussion with Philip Zelinger discussing the planned speakers for the event.  Philip Zelinger and Michael Roscoe describe the conference as a real world extension of the online resources provided by AdAgencyOnline.Net.  Regular site visitors are anxious to meet Philip Zelinger in person as he will be speaking at the conference for the third time on a subject that is becoming more important as new vehicle sales are hitting record lows.

Site visitors and attendees are able to listen and learn from automotive advertising and auto industry insiders who have been invited to address shared issues in a problem/solution format is a common theme for both of these venues.   Philip Zelinger will be hosting a seminar titled: “Marketing CPOV Vehicles vs. New or Pre-Owned In A Credit Challenged Auto Industry” and sub-titled: “Using cutting edge applications to manage/market pre-owned vehicles to maximize R.O.I.” 

The summary on the 5^th Digital Dealer website explains the seminar in detail, “The auto industry is challenged by the credit crisis along with “upside down” customers who are hit before, during and after their purchase in a shrinking economy.  The solution lies in solving the problem before the new car customer is forced to “settle” for a pre-owned vehicle.  This seminar will solve the problem from the customer’s perspective as well as the auto dealers.  “Before” - by applying inventory management software that  evaluates trade-ins and manages pre-owned inventories including the purchase of CPOV vehicles that fit  demand based on actual dealer historical sales data, “During” – with desking applications in both the real and the virtual showrooms that simultaneously surface and solve the problems and “After” – by structuring the deal with “menu selling” based payment plans to maximize R.O.I. for the dealer, minimize negative equity and  preserve income in Fixed Operations using a CRM linked to a V.O.I.P. telephony system and DMS.”

Automotive advertising agencies are leveraging free resources featured on the automotive advertising networking portal – www.adagencyonline.net - to sell vehicles and service in a shrinking auto industry.  AdAgencyOnline.Net is challenged to help them and they are turning to auto industry social networking sites as part of the solution to supplement both conventional and online automotive advertising.

The automobile industry has suffered lost sales and revenue in a weak economy and automotive advertising agencies must deliver more for less to keep their auto dealer’s profitable.  The affiliated offices of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. that support AdAgencyOnline.Net are no longer focused on earning media commissions as they have accepted responsibility to do whatever it takes to maximize the R.O.I. for their automotive advertising dollars.  Philip Zelinger, President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host of AdAgencyOnline.Net, has convinced his affiliated automotive advertising agencies to increase their areas of responsibility and to shift their focus to leveraged resources offered by online auto industry social networking sites such as CarFolks.Com.

CarFolks.Com is listed as a preferred vendor on AdAgencyOnline.Net and it is one of the few auto industry social networking sites that invite auto dealers to join their online community.   Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. is known as “The One Stop Site For All Of Your Automotive Advertising Needs” for auto dealers and “The Ultimate Outsourcing Tool” for automotive advertising agencies.  Their message to reduce budgets is a dictate from auto dealer clients and the solution to have their auto dealer clients join CarFolks.Com is an inexpensive way for AdAgencyOnline.Net and their affiliated offices to use their online resources and access to car shoppers.  The online community of likeminded car shoppers is an open forum for consumers to discuss their buying and servicing experiences that allows member auto dealers to join in the discussions to address problems and complaints as they surface.  Regular reports of dealer related comments are delivered to decision makers at the dealership so they can satisfy the shoppers where they still can be found – on the internet!

WAAOL – a blog talk radio station hosted on AdAgencyOnline.Net - interviewed Mar Dubis from CarFolks.Com in an encore show today to share their best practices with their affiliated automotive advertising agencies and site visitors.  Mr. Zelinger has grown his agency and increased market share for his auto dealer clients by researching and featuring cutting edge technologies and applications that rely on the internet to deliver an auto dealer’s marketing message to the few remaining car buyers willing to buy when others have decided to wait for the economy to stabilize.   The option to wait for the market to return isn’t feasible for auto dealers suffering six figure losses per month and AdAgencyOnline.Net has embraced online media and consumer based networking site as the solution.

Other automotive advertising vendors and/or auto industry social networking sites featured on the portal as either “preferred vendors” or as guests on previous blog talk radio shows include LeadConverter, Laser Stream Video, NeoSynergy, NADA-24, Kihon Media, BZ Results, Ai Dealer, eBay Motors, Gumiyo, ADP, BZ Results, SiSTeR Technologies Video CarLot, DrivingSales.Com, AdTel, Reach Local, ABN Automotive Broadcasting Network, DealMaker.Com, Automotive Digital marketing ADM, DealerRefresh.Com, vAuto and a number of others scheduled to appear in coming weeks.

To learn more about CarFolks.Com and the other automotive advertising vendors featured on the portal visit www.adagencyonline.net week days between 12:00 noon and 12:30 PM EST and tune into the online blog talk radio station.  To listen and learn “best practices” from the show’s guests site visitors are invited to call in and ask questions directly of the auto industry insiders interviewed by Mr. Zelinger or  to visit the site 24/7 and download any of the programs.  Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and their independent affiliated automotive advertising agencies are the exclusive full service automotive advertising agencies posted on the site and they offer free automotive advertising consultations to site visitors to further explain the various automotive advertising products and services.
