AutoRevenue sets major milestones in 2006

Sends over 35 million permission based messages, generates over $120 million in revenues for auto dealership customers, and drives 30,000 lost customers back to their dealerships.

 

LEE, Ma., January 17, 2007 - @utoRevenue™, setting several customer and corporate milestones, continues to maintain its leadership position in 2006 as the leading permission based marketing service provider for automotive dealerships.

In 2006, the company recorded another year of double digit growth and set major customer records, according to John M. Miller, @utoRevenue General Manager. "Although we are exceedingly pleased with the way our company is growing, what makes us exceptionally proud is how our permission based services are making dealers so much money," says Miller. "We estimate that we have sent over 35 million permission based messages for service campaigns which generated over $120 million in extra revenues for our auto dealer clients."

"What is even more exciting is that in 2006 our permission-based email services alone helped our clients recapture over 80,000 'lost' customers who had not been to the dealership in a year or more, says Miller. "Even better is that those returning customers generated $30 million in incremental revenue in 2006 for our clients. That kind of return on investment, combined with our customer service, is why @utoRevenue is growing much faster than most other companies in our industry."

Other major milestones during 2006 include @utoRevenue's further expanding its operations across the country by opening four additional offices and expanding into another 3500 square feet to accommodate the company's personnel growth. @utoRevenue also introduced @utoScheduler, an online service appointment scheduling system that lets customers schedule their own service appointments integrated with the dealers DMS.

Miller expects @utoRevenue's impressive growth to continue. "Now that we are part of Dominion Enterprises, we have all the financial resources we need to offer even more personalized service to dealerships and grow our company." Dominion Enterprises, which purchased @utoRevenue in late 2005, is one of the nation's largest print and Internet media companies.

@utoRevenue will showcase its entire product line at their exhibit #1645 at the National Automobile Dealership Association (NADA) convention in Las Vegas, February 3-6, 2007. As part of the NADA celebration, @utoRevenue and its Dominion Enterprises sister companies - Dealerskins, Dealer Specialties® and XIGroupAuto - are giving away a 2007 Harley Davidson Yellow Pearl Softail Motorcycle at the show on February 5.
