Strategies to sell and service more vehicles more profitably ? The 13th

Speakers from top dealerships, fixed operations, pre-owned, and social media specialists, along with some of the industry?s leading trainers and consultants were recently added to the agenda of the 13th Digital Dealer Conference & Exposition. The three day event, October 23-25, at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas NV, will feature over 100 educational sessions and workshops.

These professionals will present business strategies designed to help a national audience of dealers and managers become digital leaders and sell and service more vehicles more profitably. The diversity of the speakers is another example of Digital Dealer?s unique ability to offer educational content for every department in the dealership. Understanding today?s best practices in technology and Internet solutions is increasingly critical, as the growing relationship between digital marketing and successful automotive businesses is becoming more apparent, as the industry moves further way from traditional business models.

In addition the 13th Digital Dealer Conference & Exposition will feature the debut of several new educational opportunities.

In the new Digital Dealer Learning Labs attendees will be able to garner one-on-one coaching from leading experts in the subject of Google strategies, Facebook strategies, Mobile Apps, e-Newsletters, SEO, Social Media strategies, BDC processes, Video strategies, Telephone scripts, and Fixed Operations mobile strategies.

The exhibit hall will feature over 100 solutions providers and the debut of Digital Dealer Innovation Hours, concise demonstrations of the latest and greatest technologies, products, services, and business applications, many of which will be launched at this conference.

Further, dealers and managers will have the opportunity to delve into case studies on how an actual dealership used a specific product, service, technology or application to determine if it might be right for their dealership.
