We had a great summer. How about you?

It's been a while since our last post but that's because we've been working so hard over the summer. We strive to continue building our software and to providing you with the best service possible. I would like to take a moment to say thank you to all of our long-time dealers as well as thank you to all the new dealers that came on board over the summer.

Over the next few months will be adding new features to our system so you'll see new things popup. We'll keep you informed along the way. If you have any requests you'd like to see added, please don't hesitate to let us know. You know how to get a hold of us. We really appreciate your feedback. Your feedback helps us provide the best possible tool to help you with your business.

Again, thanks to all of our new and old dealers. We're here to help.

Dealers using video to sell vehicles online has become a new excellent tool and technique for presenting vehicles and of course helping sell your vehicles. You'll see several dealers websites that have video but when you watch the video...the video is basically just the vehicle images with a pan/zoom effect. What I'm talking about it TRUE video of the vehicle. You can take a video using your camera and even you iphone, upload the video to YouTube and then add the video to your vehicle listing on your website. It sounds complicated but actually it only takes a minute to do this. Contact us and we'll show you how easy it is. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words....just think how an actual video could help you sell vehicles. We look forward to hear from you.

Take a look at your current dealership logo. How well do you like it? If you do then that's good. If you're thinking...well it could be better or updated, then we can help you. Your logo is very important to portraying the brand and image of your dealership. It's the first thing people see when they see the name of your dealership. A logo should reflect who you are as a company and represent what your company does or provides. Another thing to think about is if you should upgrade your logo to be more modern and up with the times. This isn't always the case but it's something to think about. For some, it's important to keep the traditional look or stay with the same logo look. It depends on your business and maybe how well known your name is. For well known companies, changing your logo can be tricky. It can possibly confuse your customers. But if done right, it could be a good thing and an improvement. For other younger companies, maybe your name/logo isn't as catchy and appealing to people as it could be. This is why you should look into the possibility of creating a new logo or updating your existing logo.

I came across a blog post about 22 large automobile companies and how these companies have changed their logo brand throughout the years. It shows logo history designs for car companies like Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW,  Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, and many more. It's interesting to see how these companies have changed their logo designs over the years to keep up-to-date and to reflect the image of the automobile company. Read the blog post here: 22 Corporate Brand Logo of Automobile Companies.

I wrote a blog post here on Vin List showing some of the logos we have already designed for our dealership clients. See the blog post here: Dealership Custom Logo Designs. This shows you some of our work and what we can do for your dealership logo.

If your're interested or if you've been tossing the idea around for awhile and know you should probably update or improve your brand/logo, then contact us today and we'd love to discuss it with you. We'll listen to your ideas and we can even provide ideas and suggestions once we learn more about your company.

Vin List is gearing up and getting ready for Spring. The Vin List team of graphic designers have come up with yet another great look to brand the Vin List website. We have just published a new website theme to give us a better representation of the services that we provide. Let us know what you think.

If you're looking to have a website makeover give us a call. We'd be happy to hear from you and our creative designers are always ready to work on something new. We not only make pretty websites but we make websites pretty with quality. Your website is a very important first impression to your potential customers. There's that old saying to not judge a book by its cover BUT so many people do. This is why it is critical to make and have a website that is top notch. If your website looks cheap, is cheap, or amateurish then it's highly likely that your website visitors probably won't bother contacting you. On the other hand, having a nice looking website that's presentable and most importantly functional and user-friendly, then your visitors will more than likely trust you and want to buy a car from you. Don't wait. Give us a call today and we'll get you set up.

Our church had a great message this morning along with an excellent testimony. This makes for a great beginning to a new week.

This week we have a lot on our drawing boards. I won’t go into depth but will give you a quick overview of what’s in the works.

One, we will be working on making more options for how you can print window stickers.

And for a bigger feature, we’ll be working on more ebay related integration features. You might not know exactly what to expect but let me tell you…you’ll be excited when we make this available to you.

This is a vague overview but gives you some idea of what we have going on and what you can expect coming soon. And of of course we'll contact you directly letting you know exactly when these are available and with details on how to use.

These features are just the very tip top of what we plan for this New Year. This year is going to be a big year and we’re excited about it. Most importantly, we are glad you are with us and have been great and loyal customers. Things are just going to get better and better as we strive to build the tools you need to succeed in selling more cars online.
