Auto Dealer Monthly
Internet Achievement Awards - May issue
In the May/June issue, Auto Dealer Monthly published its 2004 Internet Achievement Awards. Dave Smith Motors was named Internet Dealer of the Year, claiming over 5,300 units sold in ’04. All in all, the best Internet dealers are breaking records year after year, demonstrating the enormous sales potential the Internet offers.
Rewards were given for:
· The 2004 Internet Dealer of the Year Award
· The 2004 Pre-Owned Retailer of the Year Award
· The Top 100 Internet Achievement Award Winners
· The Top 50 Pre-Owned Retailers
One of the key findings that editor Harlene Doane noted is that some dealers do particularly well selling used cars online, while others do well selling new; but it’s rare to find a dealership that truly excels at both. According to Doane, this demonstrates that there is still a lot of room for growth and improvement in every Internet department.
