Philip Zelinger explained his reasons for selecting EveryCarListed.Com as a preferred automotive advertising vendor on Ad AgencyOnline.Net and his support for their automotive advertising social networking site AutoIndustryInsights.Com, "After 25 years as a General Manager, Executive Dealer Principal and then Auto Dealer, followed by my past 10 years running automotive advertising agencies representing auto dealers and auto industry vendors, I have a unique empathy for my auto dealer / vendor clients.  Today's troubled economy has placed a new urgency on maximizing R.O.I. on all levels.  The Internet and the technology driven digital marketing applications and selling systems that are being built to take advantage of the World Wide Web to sell cars and service are growing too fast for the average auto dealer or automotive advertising agency to keep up.  AdAgencyOnline.Net serves as a filter of sorts to review cutting edge automotive advertising applications for automotive advertising agencies, however, consumers can be just as confused by the many new resources that they have available on the Internet.  Social networking sites populated by fellow consumers provide a new way to share shopping experiences between likeminded consumers before, during and after their purchase however they are missing the auto dealer's side of the story.  Similarly, auto dealers are becoming increasingly aware of the need for them to understand their online customer's needs in today's troubled times.  AutoIndustryInsights.Com was designed by EveryCarListed.Com to act as a bridge to provide the "inside story" to anyone that visits the site.  The "Auto Industry Insiders" section represents several highly respected individuals as well as the auto industry social networking sites and blogging forums that they host."

Philip explained the unique opportunities being presented to automotive advertising agencies that provide solutions to auto dealers faced with the trauma of losing their Chrysler and/or General Motors dealerships as well as the opportunity for the surviving dealerships to capitalize on the consolidation to gain market share. “The bankruptcy of Chrysler and the anticipated filing by General Motors has forced auto dealerships to reconsider their investments in the retail auto industry.  Profit margins on new vehicle sales have dropped precipitously in recent years with the advent of the Internet which has armed consumers in the negotiation process.  Recent drops in new vehicle sales volume in synch with a shrinking economy has been accelerated by the forced bankruptcy of Chrysler, with General Motors soon to follow. The double hit of reduced profits and unit sales has been compounded by dropping real estate values, limited wholesale and retail credit and a general lack of confidence by consumers to purchase a vehicle.  With all of the problems facing the auto industry it is hard to see the glass as being half full, but those who survive the consolidation will certainly reap the rewards when the market returns, and it will!”

Philip described the real estate opportunities resulting from recent consolidations in the auto industry as follows, “As for the impact on the real estate assets that are so vital to any comprehensive auto dealership business model the game has changed.  NWA was formed to capitalize on the acquisitions and dispositions that are already taking place as a result of the forced consolidations at Chrysler and GM.  Colliers Abood Wood-Fay formed their specialized automobile division – Colliers Automotive Real Estate Services, (C.A.R.S.), to focus on the highest and best use of those dealerships that were previously limited by the site control contracts with Chrysler and General Motors that are now being released.  The combination of NWA and their ability to purchase and place experienced minority dealer operators to maintain operations funded by the venture capital that they are raising and the established commercial office network linked through CARS to attract investors from retail operations outside of the auto industry is a win-win scenario.  Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. is contributing our expertise in evaluating the selling systems, processes and key vendors associated with the auto dealerships acquired by NWA to maximize the R.O.I. for both their real world operations and the virtual showrooms that we plan to build on the World Wide Web.”

NWA Business Plan

New Wave Automotive LLC plans to raise a significant amount of capital for acquisitions, taking advantage of the current opportunities in the marketplace with an emphasis on middle to large sized markets. In addition, NWA will also solicit new points for manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Audi, Mazda and Harley-Davidson.  Several meetings have already been held with Chrysler LLC to discuss the acquisition of numerous sites reaching from North Carolina to California. Similar meetings will be held with Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation. The goal is to diversify the franchise brands owned by NWA to minimize risk. For example, the longevity of Chrysler LLC is in question, thereby reaffirming the necessity to diversify NWA‟s overall portfolio.  Some dealership sites are no longer suitable for a car dealership but may be of value for an alternate commercial purpose such as hotels, restaurants, etc. NWA is currently in preliminary discussions with Colliers, Abood, Wood, Fay, commercial real estate brokers that have a national presence, and an internal CARS Group that evaluates dealership sites and offers recommendations on best use to include alternate solutions. As a result, NWA is also in discussion with several motel/hotel franchises to include Intercontinental Hotel Group, Choice Hotels, Wyndham and Marriott. These organizations all have diversity programs.  The objective is to acquire dealerships and the supporting real estate in geographic pods for the purpose of monitoring and controlling them.

Philip invites decision makers from the automotive advertising industry to share best practices with his affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer / vendor clients and site visitors.  The site has attracted a growing audience of automotive advertising insiders challenged by a shrinking auto industry to deliver more for less for their auto dealer clients.

About Now MarketPlace

Now MarketPlace was recently chosen to participate as part of the University of Central Florida Business/Technology Incubator, which is partnered with multiple cities in Central Florida and is one of the premier business incubators in the country.  The company brands itself as “your one-stop shop for all your internet advertising needs!” Christy suggests that dealers should become their own lead generator by applying proven advertising principles online. The dealer’s name recognition, their reputation and the sales experience their past customers have enjoyed is what engages the consumer. The Dealer’s web site, their online advertising and their customer follow-up programs must stand out from the crowd. And, most importantly, they must look and sound exactly like all of their other marketing initiatives.

The Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising show scheduled for Wednesday, May 13^th 2009 will feature another new automotive advertising vendor, Fididel and their new online transaction tool, InteractNow.  Philip Zelinger will be interviewing Hal Wendel, the Chief Executive Officer of Fididel, in an effort to evaluate their application as a preferred automotive advertising vendor on AdAgencyOnline.Net.

The auto industry is consolidating which requires auto dealers to demand more for less from their automotive advertising agencies.  WAAOL reviews automotive advertising vendors that replicate “real world” selling processes in the virtual automobile dealerships being built on the World Wide Web with efficiencies that accomplish that goal.  The featured vendors on the station have survived an extensive evaluation process that requires them to provide proven R.O.I. statistics and experienced results before they are given a chance to present their solutions on air.  Successful automotive advertising vendor applicants are then offered a position as a “preferred automotive advertising vendor” on AdAgencyOnline.Net and only the best of the best are offered the opportunity to have Philip Zelinger and AAOL represent them as a vendor client.

Philip explained his vendor review process and the criteria that he applies when considering an automotive advertising application for his affiliated automotive advertising agencies and site visitors. “After 25 plus years a General Manager and Dealer Principal I have learned to prioritize R.O.I. on a line item basis and to build accountability into any relationship.  Performance based compensation plans and vendor agreements rely on a shared responsibility to protect the interests of all parties.  The automotive advertising vendors that appear on WAAOL as well as those that are featured as preferred automotive advertising vendors on AdAgencyOnline.Net understand and accept that mutual obligation to our shared clients. As far as accepting vendor clients, I have a 30 year reputation to protect and no single retainer can replace the importance of my relationship with the auto dealers and site visitors to AdAgencyOnline.Net that turn to me for guidance in today’s troubled auto industry.  After all, to use a phrase that I have adapted as my branding slogan – what are friends for!”

Experienced automotive advertising executives are being presented with an opportunity to open their own affiliated automotive advertising agency with virtually no start up costs, limited risk and superior profit margins to the conventional automotive advertising agencies that have eliminated their positions.  The ongoing support offered by AAOL to their affiliated automotive advertising agencies allows an individual to enter the market with a competitive advantage in product and price over established national automotive advertising agencies faced with a shrinking market and reduced profit margins. 

Philip Zelinger explained that downsizing efforts by conventional automotive advertising agencies to reduce expenses has served to fuel their problem.  According to Philip they are liquidating their most valuable asset, their people, and he is more than willing to take them on as partners in their own automotive advertising agency operating as an affiliated agency of AAOL.

AAOL sponsors a free automotive advertising resource / networking portal – http://AdAgencyOnline.Net – that hosts a blog talk radio station, WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time.  Philip recently interviewed James M. Kinsella on the “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising” show.  The program served as an online interview to platform the opportunity offered by AAOL for downsized executives.  James was a District Manager for JM Family Enterprises, Inc. and he was a casualty of their recent staff reductions.  Prior to his position with JM Family Enterprises James was the director of training for 5 Square Systems, Inc. that closed their operations.  During the interview Philip was most impressed with James background in the retail auto industry having served as a Performance Coach Team Lead for Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. and a Dealer Principal / General Manager at his own dealership, English Ford.  According to Philip, “Car guys like to do business with fellow car guys and James absolutely fits that profile.” The show ended with a mutual understanding that both
