Earlier members of the Automotive Advertising Network have been experiencing the many benefits offered to members.  The dealers have been able to tap into the network’s content publishing system to post their press releases, sales and new cars on local advertising portals.

The AAN represents a new Automotive Advertising model which can offer car dealers a package of digital advertising strategies to benefit their sales and search visibility.  Automotive Advertising Agencies can also contact Digital Compass Marketing, creators of the AAN, to inquire about reseller packages.

The dealers have also been able to integrate the automotive social media sites like Facebook, WordPress and NING with their car inventory which has increased the exposure to their cars and traffic to their car detail pages.  Car dealers in the AAN have also seen a jump in high quality inbound links to their main website pages, as well as links to service and parts.

Automotive Digital Marketing

Car dealers who are looking to increase first party leads and increase the visibility for the cars that they sell, need help.  Car dealers are under attack from larger advertising portals and the Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) gives dealers the tools to fight back.  For more information on joining the AAN, visit: www.automotiveadvertisingnetwork.com

The most influential automotive executives from around the United States and Canada will be attending the DrivingSales Executive Summit on October 18-20th.  The annual conference will also feature top keynote speakers who are experts in social media, sales, marketing and management. Car dealers who are looking to interact with experts sharing case studies covering innovative best practices in automotive advertising, digital marketing, branding, sales and fixed operations head to this annual event.

Based on feedback from last year’s event, the 2010 DrivingSales Executive Summit is scheduled to span two days.  The executive meeting ground is truly the “un-conference” as it breaks the traditional trade show mold.   The topics presented and the event agenda are created by the votes of automotive dealers and not the the vendor sponsors.  The result is a laser focused automotive marketing and leadership think tank that has no peer.

Brian Pasch, CEO of PCG Digital Marketing is scheduled to attend the 2010 DrivingSales Executive Summit on October 18-20th as well as be one of the breakout session presenters. The daily breakout session will feature case studies on best practices in the automotive industry. PCG Digital Marketing, a leader in automotive digital marketing and search optimization, will be sharing a case study based on a group of highly successful PCG clients.  The case study format forces all presenters to “be real” and authentic and to cut down on the traditional trade show sales presentation.

Automotive Leadership

The annual conference attracts to the top executives from the automotive retail, automotive social media and digital marketing, and automotive advertising industry. The conference is unique in its format in that it is geared for dealer principals and executive management. The DSES conference speakers and the subject matter that will be presented are specifically geared to decision makers. 

The 2010 Driving Sales Executive Summit is by invitation only and the first round of invites will be mailed at the end of July.  The top car dealers across the country will be receiving invitations like last year as well as dealers recommended by the DrivingSales.com community; the leading social network for car dealers. 

The 2010 DrivingSales Executive Summit will be held at the Encore hotel, in Las Vegas Nevada. DSES organizers have negotiated an excellent package for all attendees to enjoy the luxury of the Encore, at a very low rate.

When registering for the event, please notify DSES if you will be staying at the Encore and they will book your reservation for you. For additional information visit: http://drivingsalesexecutivesummit.com/
