By: ShipCarsNow Jeff Grandstaff, ShipCarsNow general manager, joined NIADA CEO Mike Linn as a panelist at a recent industry conference. "Dealers are more focused than ever on sourcing issues,“ Grandstaff said. “We are excited to participate at the NIADA annual convention because it provides us an opportunity to show how ShipCarsNow brings resources and technology to help car dealers use auto transport to maximize their profits.” In 2009, new car sales and auto production hit the lowest levels in 27 years, which, in turn, affected used car sales. As a result, used car dealers are looking for innovative solutions and cost reduction ideas to help them maintain profitability during times of low supply. Vendors and suppliers are working hard to offer help to the independent auto dealer community. Banks and finance companies are working with dealers to find new financing; technology and Internet companies are offering innovative ways to reduce operation costs and increase sales. And, as dealers increasingly turn to the Internet to find used car inventory, auto transport companies like ShipCarsNow are providing the market with more online services and lower cost long-distance service options to help dealers reduce their auto transport costs. The NIADA convention offers dealers business consulting, education and services for every aspect of their business. The convention provides the unique opportunity for dealers to network with experts face to face. Educational sessions cover topics such as finance, legislative, internet, social media, and inventory management. More than 120 exhibitors will present new opportunities as well as the latest products, technology and services. Exhibitors include aftermarket product vendors, auto auctions, banking and finance companies, parts suppliers, rental and leasing providers, insurance reps, auto transport companies, Internet service companies and many more. During the convention, ShipCarsNow will offer dealers the opportunity to win an iPad, the revolutionary new product from Apple. Participants can visit the ShipCarsNow exhibit to discuss auto transport needs and register to win. “The real prize at the NIADA convention is for ShipCarsNow and other service providers to have an opportunity to talk with dealers one on one to help solve problems and share solutions,” Grandstaff said.
