Dear dealers, We have a new tool for the Craig’s List advanced system that we think will greatly help you get things happening in a much faster manner. Please email me with any questions. We hope this helps! Yago Paramo |

Craig’s ListBe careful with your CL account!: From Dan Rudd: I have heard this from 3-4 people today. Looks like a Spam Scam. Notice that this was sent to me by Jet Chevrolet but it was sen to rxxxxxl@uvwaudi.com and landed in Matt’s inbox at Jet? Your craiglist account is temporarily suspended: [http://bit.ly/a3EPTm] craigslist: Account Log In Attention – Read Carefully! Essentially you posted the same item to multiple cities or categories, or more than once in 48 hours Your post contains a link or URL to a commercial website or auction Your ad appears to contain a phone #, email address, or URL Account Status: Pending Verification To remove your listing limitation please go to : [http://bit.ly/a3EPTm] https://accounts.craigslist.org/login? ui=73917038&ip=4x5ghzbejgg if you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to permanently suspend your account. From Yago: “As posting gets harder and you need to phone verify the accounts your CL posting accounts become more valuable. Be careful with them and don’t give your log in info. If you have any questions or doubts about the validity of an email check with our CL operations managers Jim or Bayani. ————————————————————————– ————— New tool added: This one is a bit complicated to explain, so bare with me. When you post a vehicle in the advanced tool you will have 4 choices to select prices. 1) The regular “text” where you can enter a new price manually or select from the 3 fields existing in the system. Then you have 3 “image” choices: 2) Image – Internet Price Field The new image fields will add the price as an image to the template so when you change the price in diamondlot/Autobase it will update in Craig’s List in real time. So if you posted a car 10 times, the price will be automatically updated for that car in all 10 postings. Some templates such as the “text only” template may not work for this tool. Please note that the price will only update in the body of the listing and not if you also add it to the posting tittle. However, if a customer sees a price in the tittle and then a lower price in the body, that may be nothing but positive. This waill allow you to change a price on a Friday at 1pm for example and make something happen that very same day! Please test at your own discretion and email me if you see any bugs. |

Social MediaTyrannybook.com Powered by Amnistia Internacional Portugal, Tyrannybook.com aims to promote global awareness against tyrans worlwide. Without the purpose of making any political statements, I thought it would be interesting to see a completelly different development in Social Media and how it can be used outside what we are used to (Facebook and Twitter!). I think Facebook has opened a door to awareness of what the Internet can do to build connections and better share information but we haven’t seen yet what this can offer. A lot of new developments wait for us in the future of SM. Have questions about social media? Please contact: Rahil Vora mailto:social@paramogroup.com |

__________________________________________ _______________________________________ AutoTrader.com’s Trade In Marketplace: Here is a pick to Autotrader’s new program: 1) AutoTrader.com’s Trade In Marketplace Explained (video link). My opinion: “Read the small print in the program… it will work only for a few cars. No people upside down, no really old, no really new, etc. The customer has to go to the dealer to get the final offer and inspect the car whichmay deter some customers. However, I think it will do very well for some dealers that deal in that particular price/trade range.” My friend Jeff’s opinion: Yago, it’s working, it’s in over 300 dealers and they’re limiting the amount of dealers on the initial offering, it will be rolled out nationally at NADA in Feb. As for the price guarantee it is subject to an inspection, which means the value could go up as easily as go down depending on how accurate their description was. Seattle is the last marketplace they will be going into which will be July/aug. This has been in development for ten years and in pilot since 2007, think what you like but TIM is coming and going to change the game, I’ve seen it up close and it is up and working, no gimmick. Backed by the guy with the biggest balls in the business, keep reading you’ll get it! For more information about the program: Call your Autotrader.com rep or Rich Wolfson @ 425-791- 4432 |

LegalOpen WIFI: The German Supreme Court declared that one of their citizens is responsible for the pirate downloads from her WIFI that was left open while she was on vacation. Not that this will happen here but its a good reminder to make sure your free WIFI for the service customers, etc is secured. |
