The Next Big Online Automotive product develops….

It was due to this experience that Ad Group National recognized a need to provide a ser-

vice like “The Elite Car Dealers in Houston .com”. According to Gary Fontenot, “we

realized customers did not have a method of identifying dealers with the best Customer

Satisfaction for sales and service. We also recognized customers would be more likely to

respond to the endorsement of a third party.”

We developed “Elite Car Dealers in Houston .com to provide this solution. It is a

free consumer service that directs customers to the stores with the best customer satisfac-

tion ratings. Over the years, our research has indicated that customers want to do busi-

ness with stores best in customer satisfaction. There are only 3 Elite dealers per brand so

a dealership can establish a competitive advantage. Each month we drive custom-

ers to this online service deploying over one million opted in emails to the Houston market.

We provide each dealer the analytics of the many customers who visit their site looking to

buy a car. It stands to reason, that consumer don’t use our service unless they are in the

market for a new or pre-owned vehicle.

Plus, you can now use your “Elite” status in all of your marketing providing a com-

petitive selling message over the competition. Include in your Radio, TV, Newspa-

per, Newsletter, Web site, Online, Email marketing, Brochures….even load your

salespeople lips with your Elite status providing a real reason for buying at your

store .
