Cookie cutter websites for dealerships are a really bad idea.  We see them often and still can’t figure out why dealers would go for them.  Yes, it’s cheap and easy and the work is done for you but is that really a good reason to water down your brand and identity on the first marketing impression you’ll make with 90% of your customers?  Why, so you don’t have to do work?

Seriously?

Cobbler’s Shoes For as much time as we spend on our customer’s websites, it seems we’re always neglecting our own.  “Yeah, yeah, I’ll get to that right after I finished this up for customer X”.  Our last redesign was a good first step and improvement fr...

Virtual Business Development Delivers Up To 20% Closing Ratio on Pre-qualified Leads.

Louisville, September 30, 2009: MyRVAdvantage announced today that is has refocused its business as a turnkey virtual Business Development Center for dealers delivering pre-qualified leads on a pay-for-performance basis. “We began implementing a fundamental shift in our business model about a year ago,” said Steven Webster, VP of Product Development & Marketing for MyRVAdvantage. “Our Web and CRM solutions have always been among the best in the industry but in the past they could seem too complex and technical to our customers. We realized that at the end of the day dealers care about one thing – more sales. We know that ninety percent of real buyers visit the Web first so MyRVAdvantage became a dealer’s virtual Business Development Center. We create traffic and convert visitors into qualified leads, we attract new customers, engage and pre-qualify them and send dealers leads that are ready to buy today. Then we cultivate the rest so they’re ready to buy tomorrow. We simplified our approach and aligned ourselves with our customer’s goals - changing not only what we deliver, but how dealers pay for it.”

A few of our dealers are just beginning to experiment with social media sites like facebook and twitter.  Since we launched our new website a few of them noticed our twitter feed that we display on the homepage of myrvadvantage.com.  Quite frankly we were surprised anyone noticed – but good catch!  This is a new module that allows you to connect your website to your twitter account and display the last few posts right on your homepage (or any other page on your site).

The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) engine built into the MyRVAdvantage web platform is designed to deliver terrific search engine rankings right “out of the box”.  By using our “built in” SEO Engine we’ve seen our dealer’s rankings improve within weeks of switching platforms or targeting specific keywords, increasing relevant traffic and increasing the leads generated from their website.

LOUISVILLE KY – MyRVAdvantage, a leading provider of Business Development Services for dealerships has acquired the niche social networking website ThisOldRV.com.  ThisOldRV.com was started four years ago as a simple forum that connected owners of Classic Motorhomes.  It has continually expanded over the years to include the owners of different and newer types of RVs as well as people looking for advice on everything from RV Maintenance to campground reviews and more.

MyRVAdvantage announced today that it will begin offering Performance Pricing to all current & new customers as part of the SalesBridge program. SalesBridge gives dealers a complete turn key Online Marketing & Business Development Department which when combined with Performance Pricing ensures dealers only pay for what they actually get for leads.

Our new Showroom module provides our customers with an easy to use, simply to manage, quick & painless way to market their inventory and make it look great on their site all while improving the way customers interact, search and ultimately find the unit they want.  After all, it’ about selling RVs not software and uploads. 

Seems like we’re always too busy to work on our own website around here.  Well….after a long caffeine fueled effort, we’re been able to finally get our act together long enough to create a new site for MyRVAdvantage.  Cobbler’s Shoes?  You bet. 

We’re hoping the new site will help us stay connected with customers, partners and each other better than in the past.
