A Franchised Dealer in North Central Florida Flourishes in Turbulent Times on Account of Outstanding Florida Marketing.

Despite the fact that right now Detroit manufactures may end up bankrupt, a Ford dealership in North Central Florida is raking in exceptional profits. A seo specialist in Florida has caused this fantasy to become a reality at a moment in time when many car lots are closing up shop. This achievment proves that domestic dealerships can in fact make steady profits.

Despite the economy, Santa Fe Ford’s used cars and trucks are selling faster than Girl Scout cookies at a milk parade. A marketing firm in Florida, MarketinginFlorida.com has aimed the bulk of Santa Fe Ford’s marketing campaign toward advertising Ford trucks in Gainesville

“Over the past 8 months I have sold my complete stock of upside down inventory, mostly sold to new retail customers, and for the first time in a very long time I have a used car department that is quite profitable. Marketing in Florida’s online marketing services and our low prices have been directly responsible for the success of my pre-owned sales department. We spend almost no money advertising our pre-owned inventory other than our online marketing efforts and at the moment, about 72% of our sales come directly from our internet marketing.”    Greg Waitcus, Vice President, Santa Fe Ford.

Santa Fe Ford’s results prove that today’s franchised dealerships can become viable if they point their business model and internet marketing to be in-line with what today’s car buyers call for. The days of dark shades and key flipping are over. Today’s car customer understands the market value of vehicles and demands full disclosure before they visit or even call the dealership.

By and large, the 20,000+ auto dealers in America are local businesses that are owned and run by civic-minded businessmen who practice their faith, support their local little leagues and treat their clients with respect. With a franchised domestic dealership posting steady profits month after month, Barrack Obama and friends must discover a way for the Detroit auto makers to become sustainable. If GM is allowed to go up in smoke, the ripple effect may bankrupt America.

If GM and Chrysler are allowed to fail, it is the local dealers that will be asked to cover the loss on all of their new inventory. It is not the manufactures that are financing all that inventory, it is the local dealers. With bankrupt automakers, all of the local auto dealer’s existing new stock would have to be instantly written down to auction levels as all manufactures warranties and backing would become void. For nearly all affected dealerships, those write downs would immediately end their business as they would be in immediate violation of the loan agreements with their floor planners. Without the inexpensive financing for their inventory, nearly no franchised auto dealers can keep going.

All over America domestic auto dealers directly and indirectly support an unbelievably large workforce spanning many industries. They generate incredible amounts of local and state tax revenue and make a massive amount of political and charitable contributions. With unemployment over 8% and now talk of unemployment staying high thoughout the recovery, America would have a hard time recovering from loosing GM and Chrysler.

The disappearing of jobs and tax revenue at all levels would be {staggering|devestating}. Automotive dealers are the backbone of their local economies. Collectively, auto dealers are the backbone of America. Congress and Barak Obama must find a way to save Detroit or risk a very real failure of America.
