May 2, 2012 (Burlington, VT) –Â Two recent industry surveys reveal that the majority of the Nation’s overall top-selling auto dealer groups, as well as the top web-based sales dealerships, choose to partner with Dealer.com.The surveys were conducted by Automotive News and WardsAuto, and both were published in early 2012. Eighty-nine percent of the Top 125 Dealership Groups, according to Automotive News, work with Dealer.com; and fifty-nine percent of the dealerships on WardsAuto’s e-Dealer 100 list choose Dealer.com
The percentages reflect an upward trend. In 2010, Dealer.com partnered with 80 percent of top 125 groups, up from 70 percent in 2008. In turn, Dealer.com continues to invest heavily in R&D and customer service to further its mission of providing the industry with powerful digital marketing tools and services that drive customers’ growth and strengthen their brand.
“Such a large presence on both these major lists underscores our commitment to dealers of all sizes, and our unique ability to serve their needs,” commented Eliza Kelly, Dealer.com vice president of Marketing. Â “We take pride in having a scalable platform of tools that work together and gives a smaller dealership the same marketing power as a larger regional franchise. Our technology foundation can work with any dealership, whether they’re trying to power up the top 125 groups list, make the e-Dealer 100, or just win in their local market.”
