Phil Zelinger - AdAgencyOnline.Net Automotive Advertising  

Philip Zelinger, President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. shared his visions on blurring the line between the real and the virtual world showrooms in the following article.

"I have always advised my dealer clients to market to their friends and family because their enemies will never call them. Business to business marketing is a basic component of our dealer's internal marketing plans to sell both sales and service and community support is earned over years of participation by our dealer client's in local events with a minimum investment.

I always try to practice what I preach and I am excited to use the internet to help promote our new Automotive Networking Portal for advertising agencies and selected vendors - AdAgencyOnline.Net.

We are still developing content for our launch at the NADA in San Francisco on February 9th but I would appreciate your comments on the concept. Simply put, we are presenting ourselves as the "One Stop Site For All Of Your Dealership's Needs." with FREE creative posted in fully produced radio, TV, print, direct mail, etc plus an integrated Blog Talk Radio Station, WAAOL; "All Automotive News - All The Time" and a two way audio-visual "Dealer 20+ Forum" providing best practices to visiting dealers at scheduled online meetings.

Our newly integrated staffed monitoring service - LeadConverter - will be greeting visitors as they join the site in both the radio and Dealer 20+ discussions in a "problem / solution" format - with approved vendors providing the solutions of course! Planned shows and forums will be featuring invited vendors and industry experts to solve shared problems of visiting dealers who will benefit the most from this free exchange of ideas and solutions to common problems; just like in conventional Dealer 20 Groups - but without the air fare and hotel costs!

We are offering FREE banner ads to affiliated advertising agencies and supporting auto related vendors with Ad Agency Online acting as an outsourced sales staff for the various products and services. The only "fee" to posted agencies and vendors will be a pre-negotiated re-seller commission on actual sales generated by our staff and the request to invite their existing clients to visit AdAgencyOnline.Net to participate in the forum or listen to the latest automotive news. That's where the NETWORKING fits in!

Other preferred vendors featured on the portal include LaserStream Video, Gumiyo, Kihon Media, CarFolks.Com Ai Dealer, BZ Results and Neosynergy.  Of course we will be investing all of our resources and experience in both conventional advertising, SEO and SEM plans to promote the site but we anticipate that the networking of supporting vendor's clients will start the ball rolling faster and to a more targetted audience.

If you would like to participate in our new portal, or share your opinion of the plan, please contact Philip Zelinger, President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. at www.adagencyonline.net.  In any case , good luck to all of us in 2008 - and beyond!"
