Information Externalities, Car Dealers, and Spaghetti Osteopaths
Why do some competing stores locate near one another, while others don't? In National City, south of San Diego, there is a stretch called the "Mile of Cars". I dont know if it's a mile or not, but it's pretty much an endless strip of car dealers, from Hyundais to Hondas, and everything inbetween. There are similar areas in most reasonably-sized cities, whether a cluster of car dealers, a car strip, or just a bunch of dealer generally clustered around one another.

Fire Your Advertising Agency
There is a startling way for most dealers to double their business – fire their advertising agencies.

Automotive Manufactures Site Control - What is it?
Unfortunately these are trying times for many domestic automobile dealers for a number of reasons. The depth of the problems has much to do with the brand, the market and the dealers' personal situation. For many, losses or a lack of profits is starting to take its toll not just on the bottom line but on the operators and their families, their relationship with the factory and their employees. I have some examples that, unless witnessed, can be hard to appreciate. Hopefully my description will shed light where it is needed, understanding where it must and empathy where it should.

Brokers, Dealers, Private Lenders, and Venture Capital
A broker is defined as anyone who makes securities transactions for others. (The exception to this is a bank.) A dealer is defined as someone who buys and sells securities for their own account, through a broker or otherwise. Most entrepreneurs are looking for start-up capital and for someone else to raise capital for them on a straight commission, with no up-front fees. Only registered broker dealers, and Bona Fide employees, can legally solicit/sell securities for a company on straight commission, with no up-front fees. They always charge an up-front retainer, sometimes called due-diligence fees, before commencing. This fluctuates depending on the complexity of the transactions. Most brokers/dealers avoid startup and early stage companies. A Bona Fide employee cannot be paid commission from the sale of securities.

Cashing in With Parked Domains
For a minimal investment, you can pick up keyword rich domain names in any imaginable niche - and, with a few savvy tips and small time investment - you may just be surprised by the results. Will you be able to retire to Aruba with it? Probably not. But, I can honestly say that I have turned a less-than-ten-buck investment into 3 and 4 figure returns. If that piques your interest, read on.

Buying an Investment Franchise Business Opportunity
An investment franchise is one that normally calls for a solid amount of investment that may involve a while to realize a benefit. You could consider all franchise businesses an investment in one sense since all will require some form of initial investment in order to get started after which you can look to pay it back as the business becomes profitable.

When You Sell For Less Than Your Debt
Automotive Dealers Are Being Forced To Sell For Less Than Their Debt.

As clear as mud
I was recently car shopping for a 4WD for my partner, Kellie. Looking for a good deal we went into two competing dealers situated near each other. The first was a KIA dealer and the second, Holden. With less than a kilometre separating the two yards, my experience between them dealers could not have been further apart.

Improve Channel Partner Performance - How to Engage and Collaborate With Partners to Improve ROI
Manufacturers, in their quest to increase the brand loyalty and mind share of dealer employees, look for ways to increase dealer engagement and collaboration. Engagement is the employee's positive emotional attachment to the organization. Collaboration is the ability of the dealer employee to interact with both manufacturer and other dealers for problem solving and best practices ideas. If you can do a better job of engaging and collaborating with your dealers, they will do a better job representing your brand and selling your product, increasing your return on investment (ROI).

Market Development Funds - How Channel Partners Become Your Best Allies
A manufacturer providing a Market Development Fund (MDF) program would seem like a perfect solution for the company and its dealers, right? It's a cooperative endeavor that supports channel partner marketing campaigns to generate demand and a greater return on investment than what each company could have achieved on its own, yes? So why, then, did I hear this from one of our heavy equipment manufacturing customers - "We had MDF programs for years for co-op advertising, direct mail and other initiatives. But, we finally stopped. We couldn't take it anymore. It was too painful for us and our dealers."
