Default Re: Need Promotion Advice, Please

1) Go to a local Radio or TV Station and tell them you will put THEIR Call Letters on a "Banner" at the TOP of the car dealer website AND your community site....in exchange for some FREE Commercials for your 2 sites.

2a) Set up a "Site for local Car Dealers"....call it "YourTownCars"...... where their dealership LOGO will be displayed on the Home Page AND....they can upload photos of their cars. You'll need a special software program for this, unless you want them to send you the photos and info and YOU upload to your site.

2b) Go to a local Radio or TV station (TV preferred).....tell them you would like to set up a "JV" (Joint Venture) with them where you will pay them $50 a month for each Car Dealer who has cars on your site. You then collect $200 to $400 a month from each Dealer...depending on how many cars they put up.

Here's an example of the most successful and longest running sites of this kind; http://www.minnesotacars.com

Another guy has been running the following site for a number of years with about 20 Car Dealers paying him around $500/mo. http://www.nwautopage.com
Only one problem here is....he VISITS his car dealer clients each month, takes photos of the vehicles they got in and uploads to his site. He has a "route" where he sees 4 Dealers a day....5 days a week. Nice money BUT, he can't take many vacations....he's GOT TO be on his dealers lots EVERY DAY. He does local radio, Newspaper & TV spots which HE pays for.

Good luck to you,
