Comments on: If car dealers haven’t got the internet message yet it might be too late http://www.motor-trade-insider.com/index.php/2010/01/if-car-dealers-havent-got-the-internet-message-yet-it-might-be-too-late/ Car Buying Guide Sat, 31 Jul 2010 13:59:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Dean http://www.motor-trade-insider.com/index.php/2010/01/if-car-dealers-havent-got-the-internet-message-yet-it-might-be-too-late/comment-page-1/#comment-1311 Dean Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:38:56 +0000 http://www.motor-trade-insider.com/?p=6446#comment-1311 Great Article. I'd have to agree with the worrying fact that alot of car dealers aren't embracing the internet as a marketing tool. For years the industry has utilised the internet, even been selling cars entirely online. Take ourselves, Creditplus.co.uk, as an example, we do all our car deals electronically and distance sell most of our cars. If youve ever looked at Autoquake's website, you will see the effort they put into photographing their cars, it makes such a difference. There are agencies out there that will be able to photograph your cars professionally. Although Autotraders website builder service serves a purpose, we highly recommend you hire a professional web design agency to develop a bespoke website that make your site SEO friendly and therefore likely to appear in Google's lisitngs. Make sure you get your web agency to add your website to Google's local listings. A 2006 study by Nielsen//NetRatings showed that 70% of the web users would search online for a local business. And most consumers are much more likely to buy a product offline once they have seen it online. If don't embrace the internet this year, it may be too late... Great Article.
