Online Marketing Leader Recognized for Excellence in Web Site Design/Provider Category
Burlington, VT – Dealer.com, the leading provider of online marketing solutions for the automotive industry, today announced it has been named a recipient of the Gold Award in the Web Site Design/Provider category of the 2008 Auto Dealer Monthly Dealers' Choice Awards. This is the third year dealers have chosen Dealer.com for a top placement in its category.
“Winning the gold holds special significance because vendors are chosen by dealership employees who use a variety of products and services every day,” said Mark Bonfigli, president and CEO of Dealer.com. “The data and findings from these awards are very valuable as we use the direct feedback from dealers to improve our company and the customer experience.”
Each year Auto Dealer Monthly recognizes the most highly regarded vendors, suppliers and finance companies in the retail automotive industry. The award is determined by a survey of dealers across the country who are asked to select the top providers in the industry. Vendors are scored on performance, customer support and overall value compared to cost to the dealership. In 2008, more than 36 companies were named winners in 20 categories of products and services, with more than 25,000 votes cast overall.
“We’ve been with Dealer.com for two years now and we have no intention of going anywhere else,” said Alex Snyder, director of e-commerce at Checkered Flag Motor Car Corporation in Virginia Beach, Virginia. “Customer service with Dealer.com has been phenomenal. I’d say it’s the main reason that makes Dealer.com my favorite vendor to work with. Between the organic search and the Dominator platform, which we’re very excited about, they have everything we’ve been asking for. Conversion has been off the charts. I can’t say anything better.”
