2009 is the make it or break it year for car dealers. It's your choice where you will be. You have to make the decision to take a leap of faith or duck your head in the sand and do nothing. Hide from the reality that you control your destiny. Which path will you take? The "Same is Lame Road" or the path less traveled.

Is the Internet the solution?

The Internet is a good tool, but that's all it is - just another medium. It's no different than the newspaper, radio or TV. You can't dump your whole car marketing operation online. If you do, the consequences could be devastating.

The internet has caused great change in the consumer. It has caused them to think different, act different and be educated differently.

Today's customer demands and responds to information-based, value-driven car marketing rather than the traditional hard-sell advertising tactics we're used to implementing. So is hard-selling over for good?

For those of you who use hard sell car marketing - just the thought will make you squirm in your seat but for those of you who have never experienced it - hold on tight.

Hard-sell advertising can't be thrown out the door. It has evolved into a better, more effective, finely tuned machine. So what's the big change all about? Education. Yes education. Today's consumer is seeking more facts now than ever before. They want to be well-informed before their emotions kick in.

Traditional car marketing was all about the dealership, the vehicles and the features. Consumers don't care about those details. They want to know how you can help them with their situation. What solution can you bring to them? You need to take them by the hand and deliver yourself as the expert that can solve their problems.

You must first define what their problem is and then lay out a well-planned solution. Is it financing they can't obtain? Are they upside down on their current vehicle? What solutions can you offer? Your answers must be clear and easy to follow. You care about their challenges and want to help them. You are the obvious choice.

The Challenge:

The solution has to be delivered in an easy accessible manner without obligation or commitment. You must give the perception of value first. Today's competitive market requires you to deliver the value upfront to gain the trust of the customer.

"So where is the hard-sell in this", you might ask.

That's where the evolution of the machine comes in. The hard sell sneaks up on the customer from out of the blue. They never see it coming because they have invited it in. That's what education based marketing is all about.

Cloak and dagger marketing is the kind of marketing that affects people emotionally but sneaks up on them logically. Buying decisions are based on emotion and backed up with logic.

The internet has put a new spin on this rule. With the rise of the Internet, people are looking for logic first. Education based car marketing gives them what they are looking for and they freely invite the emotional side in.

That's what closes the deal.

How you go about finding these people is important, too, because you want to advertise and recruit in the right places. You wouldn't recruit at the high school for a position that required a master's degree, for example, because no one in the group there would be qualified (except perhaps the teachers, and you wouldn't be targeting them). Think carefully about the person that you're looking to hire, what you need from him or her, and what you will and won't accept. Is less education alright if the experience is there? What about a highly educated person who is just out of school with no experience?

Marketing recruitment agencies can help you, too, because they can take what you're looking for and work to find people who will be suited to your needs. It's not always faster this way, but it's definitely easier and it keeps out many of the people who might not be qualified but that you would have had to sort through if you were doing the recruitment on your own. Especially when you are looking to fill management positions it becomes very important that you make sure you're clear on the qualifications. You don't want to waste your time, but you don't want to waste the time of others, either. It's bad business practice and can get you a reputation among those who are looking for work, making it harder to find the person that you really want to hire. A recruitment agency can help you avoid all of that hassle and present you with only qualified candidates based on the information that you've provided about what you're looking for. Make sure that you're clear on what you need, that you adjust accordingly after each person you interview if that person isn't right for the job, and that you really look at each interviewee objectively.

The most recent and talked about of these trends is online visibility marketing. This is not about SEO or those other trends, although they are important. It's mostly about how visible someone is 'as a brand' on the Web. That means not just your blog or your Website, but also how easy it is to simply locate you. Some viral marketing is seen in there, but it's mostly about social networking and marketing, and the social network sites are seeing a huge surge in business because everyone wants to get their name out there. So many people use these social networking sites that it's a great way to get attention.

Marketing, advertising, and similar issues all contribute to how well a business does, too, so it's important that a person is aware of what he or she is doing with his or her business, who is seeing it, and who is looking for it. It's great if your business is all over MySpace, but if most of the people you're targeting are actually using Facebook instead, your marketing is not really that effective. The key is that too many businesses think they have such a great product that their customers will just find them, but it really doesn't work that way. It can and does happen to some extent, but for the most part it's necessary for people who want to be seen and have their businesses grow to get out there and market themselves. They might have a lot to offer, but so do many other people and many other businesses. Marketing is a huge part of running any kind of business, so staying current and paying attention to trends is something that any business owner has to consider, especially when it comes to his or her online presence. The Internet is what will carry many businesses into the future and make them truly global.

Advertising Boards can also have clips on the back, these can then be hung on the end of shop gondola's, this can be a very big point of interest and can draw the eyes attention using striking images, text and colours.

Advertising Boards can also be wall mounted, they can stand behind counters for example, displaying other products that the customer may wish to purchase that they perhaps forgot.

An advertising board is essentially a board… normally wooden or plastic that advertising can be mounted onto, this tends to be a paper advert that is help in place by sometimes Perspex that covers the advert and attaches to the board.

There are many companies in the world that specialise is printing of these adverts for use with your advertising boards, they are completely customisable and contain any images or text you want, you can incorporate many different images at once, along with company branding also able to be printed.

It was in the 1980's that advertising boards were first introduced, they first appeared in Football Stadiums, they were influenced by on-shirt advertising. If you look today you will notice that advertising boards ere now extremely common in football stadiums, in fact there can be hundreds in one stadium.

Football stadiums have advanced a lot recently and now use electronic advertising boards, these boards display and image that after a set period of time will change to another image (advert), the possibilities are endless and fade in/out effects can also be used.

Advertising in effect is an attempt to persuade the public into the purchase of something or the attendance of something; however some advertising boards can just be about awareness, to get certain people aware of a certain something (subject, fact). Essentially Advertising is a different type of communication.

Advertisements at times can use factual information to along with their persuasive information, the factually information is used to mask the advertising information, making you read it but not seeing it as an attempt to make you do something

If you are looking at advertising yourself and are unsure which avenue to take, advertising boards are an extremely good choice, they can be placed where needed and when needed, they are fully customisable in both shape and size. The advertising itself can be very striking and in your face witch as much attention to detail as required. They can even be designed to match say the design of your shop stands. Advertising Boards can also be colour coded to your business making them one of the most used forms of advertising worldwide.Advertising Boards

1. Put all of your resumes and applications in a database when they are received. It lets you retrieve data much more easily, often by just searching for one keyword.
2. Make sure you contact their references, because they might not be as honest about who they know and how they know them as they should be.
3. Make sure that you're formal and professional when it comes to letting people know if they got the job.
4. The Internet can be your friend, so don't be afraid to advertise your job there.
5. Make sure you're clear about what is expected of the applicant.
6. Show the applicants that you are offering them a good career opportunity.
7. Post in different categories and on different sites – there might not be a 'one size fits all' description of the job you're offering.
8. Make a Website for your company and for the job recruitment so that people have one place to go to apply and you can keep track of the steady flow of applications and resumes.
9. Don't downplay important aspects of the job because you think someone might not want to do them. If you aren't honest up front, you won't find the right person.
10. If you aren't planning on filling the job right away, let people know that. Set a time limit for sending resumes and applications and stick to it.

It's easy to make mistakes when you're looking for someone to work for you, but you don't have to struggle with problems that you could easily avoid. Take the time to learn a little bit more about recruitment and the right ways to advertise for what you want and need in a new employee. Then, be willing to look at what people have to offer and don't just settle for the first person who applies. Wait until you have the chance to look at quite a few people's resumes and applications so that you're sure you're getting the right person for the job. Once you check that person's references and hire him or her, you can relax a bit and feel safe in the assumption that the person will likely work out and stay with the job, stopping you from having to go through the whole process again any time soon.

It is usually in these kinds of times when those who sell advertising try to push a small business into doing more advertising and marketing to get its name out there. These small businesses should remember that it is not necessarily how much they spend on marketing that matters, but what kind of message they are actually sending. If they have a good message they might not need to spend a lot more of their money to try to bring customers in. Word of mouth will help them, and a lot of people will be pleased to see that a small business has not panicked and gone over the top to try to get individuals to buy from it.

Too much marketing can make a business look pushy and desperate, and that's never a good thing when it comes to trying to get people to purchase a product or service from you. If you want individuals to buy what you have to offer, respecting them and treating them as the intelligent people that they are goes much farther than shoving information at them and demanding that they buy something from you because times are tight and you need the money.

Marketing is tricky work, but don't allow an advertiser to try and convince you that you need to do more than you are, or more than you're comfortable with. You can certainly do more advertising and marketing during tough times if your budget will allow it and you feel that it will help to bring in business, but just be careful that your message doesn't change to one of desperation or aggravation. Keep good messages the same, and remove any messages that aren't working. You'll be glad you didn't panic once the economy gets better.

Thanks to a great advance in online technology we are now able to check, monitor and evaluate our advertising campaigns at a very detailed level, showing the client why they should stick with us. Below we will go through a couple of trends that we think will happen in 2009.

Consumers getting brand information from social networks.

The history of advertising for a product or brand has revolved around marketing campaigns on print, TV or radio. As the popularity of online advertising increases we will see the views of customers either good or bad ranking in brand term results in search engines. The idea in 2009 is that advertising agencies will become more active within its brands social network in order to gain customer information and implicate their wants and needs.

Expect a digital video increase.

Between November 2007 and November 2008, video watching online on websites like Youtube and Metacafe went up by over 40%. This was obviously detrimental to the time spent watching TV or listening to the radio. This year the percentage of people watching online video is expected to rise yet again but this time agencies are going to be ready to attract possible customers with interactive video advertising which will allow the user to interact with a product or brand whilst viewing.

Online news to become a market leader.

Research from 2008 showed that online news sources (including newspapers) eventually passed traditional print newspapers as the most popular form of news. This trend is yet again expected to only increase this year and will end up making massive changes to the newspaper market. Experts believe that by 2012 online news sources and advertising will have surpassed even television.
