Phil Zelinger - AdAgencyOnline.Net Automotive Advertising  

Automotive advertising agencies are looking for ways to deliver more for less.  AdAgencyOnline.Net is helping them do just that on their auto industry social networking site that is focused on sharing “best practices” with automotive advertising agencies through the virtual world on the World Wide Web.  The 5^th Digital Dealer Conference, scheduled October 6^th through October 8^th 2008 at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine Texas, is a real world example of the same shared opportunity.  Automotive advertising vendors are invited to present their products and service to a targeted group of auto dealers and automotive advertising agencies through auto industry related forums as well as vendor displays.

AdAgencyOnline.Net is a free automotive advertising resource/networking portal that was created to help their affiliated automotive advertising agencies maximize the R.O.I. for their auto dealer clients.  The 5^th Digital Dealer Conference isn’t free, but it has a similar focus and proven value for attendees.  The common thread between these virtual and real world solutions is the ability for site visitors and attendees to listen and learn from automotive advertising and auto industry experts who will address shared issues in a problem/solution format.

Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and the host of the blog talk radio station, WAAOL – All Automotive Advertising News All The Time, featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net has been very vocal in his support of the 5^th Digital Dealer Conference.  The “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising” show that ran Wednesday, August 13^th on www.adagencyonline.net and www.blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline interviewed Michael Roscoe, the host of the 5^th Digital Dealer Conference.  The show promoted the conference as an extension of the philosophy of AdAgencyOnline.Net that a “Rising Tide Floats All Boats” and that the shared solutions offered at the conference will help stabilize a struggling auto industry.

Philip Zelinger will be speaking at the conference for the third time in as many years.  The seminar scheduled by Philip Zelinger is 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 subject summary posted on the 5^th Digital Dealer website describes the seminar as follows, “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.”
