Interactive Financial Marketing Group Processes Five Millionth Auto Loan Application — Milestone Marks Eight Years of Growth in Auto Finance Lead Generation

Posted on by

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) February 1, 2011

Interactive Financial Marketing Group (IFMG), a division of Dominion Enterprises, today announced it has distributed 5,000,000 online auto finance loan applications to its Carloan.com dealer network.

The key to achieving this significant accomplishment is the diverse network of auto finance web sites and partnerships that IFMG manages, combined with a proprietary lead routing system. Given the efficiency of its robust routing engine technology, IFMG has validated, screened and distributed an average of 625,000 car loan applications per year since the launch of the system. It achieved this historic level despite the recent economic downturn that has adversely impacted both the automotive and finance industries.

Prior to building the online marketing systems it currently uses for lead generation, IFMG kicked off its operations in 1989 using vanity phone numbers. Customized 800 numbers like 1-800-CAR-LOAN and 1-800-AUTO-LOAN generated auto finance applications that were then delivered to its dealer partners. The 5,000,000 application mark does not include applications that were received and processed before IFMG made the leap to the Internet in 2002.

“This is a landmark event in the history of IFMG,” said Tom Feary, General Manager of IFMG. “It reflects the trust that car buyers have in our auto finance websites such as Carloan.com, and the level of service our dealer network provides to those seeking a vehicle through financing. We’re looking forward to many more strong years connecting dealers to car buyers ready to be financed.”

IFMG invites auto dealers to visit Carloan.com at booth #2046S at the NADA Convention and Expo, February 5-7, 2011 in San Francisco to learn how they can join the Carloan.com dealer network.

About Interactive Financial Marketing Group:

Interactive Financial Marketing Group (IFMG) is a pioneer in lead generation, validation and management services for the automotive industry. By focusing on innovative approaches to lead generation since its inception in 1989, IFMG has developed a family of brands that includes hundreds of the most recognized Internet addresses and vanity phone numbers such as Carloan.com, Autoloan.com, 1-800-CAR-LOAN

ELO Media Introduces the Next Generation of Automated DVmatic DVD Rental Kiosks

Posted on by

Piscataway, NJ (PRWEB) September 2, 2009

ELO Media is proud to announce the next generation of Automated DVMatic DVD vending Kiosks. Starting in September, ELO Media will introduce the new line of DVMatic 550XL. This newest generation of DVmatic, provides advanced security, simplified maintenance and a NEW state-of-the-art software interface.

“With this latest generation of DVD vending machine, the DVmatic 550XL has raised the bar on capacity and money making opportunities for our customers. The next generation DVMatic software offers on-line reservations, the ability to rent from one kiosk and return to another within the same network, advanced web-based customer and owner websites, various membership options, coupon promotional codes, advertising options and Blue-Ray capabilities. The DVmatic holds up to 550 titles (rental or purchase) for either movies or games. With all of the new features of the DVMatic 550XL, this easy to maintain and operate kiosk, sets a new standard for the industry” reports Dan Kenyon, VP of Sales and Marketing of ELO Media.

According to Kenyon, rentals are strong as ever. In fact, due to the economic slowdown, families are searching for cheaper entertainment venues, and renting a movie at a $ 1 per day is a great bang for your buck and very affordable entertainment. New releases such as G Force are seeing increased rentals, rather than sales, compared to films of the same genre in the past.

The kiosk rental business has grown substantially in the past 12 months, with Coinstar/Redbox http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CSTR&.yficrumb=ZIwZBxA7elD [(NASDAQ: CSTR) __title__ (NASDAQ: CSTR)] leading the market with over 15,000 machines deployed. Blockbuster http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BBI&.yficrumb=ZIwZBxA7elD [(NYSE: BBI) __title__ (NYSE: BBI)] has expanded its earlier partnership with NCR and plan to install 10,000 kiosks within 18 months. It seems to be only a matter of time before we see this type of automated DVD rental kiosk at every corner.

Kenyon adds, “We feel that with the launch of our new software, and financing ever so difficult, it is the perfect time to introduce our new “SELLER FINANCING” initiative and expand our customer base. Entrepreneurs are some times anxious entering this business because of the significant cash outlay, however, if you could start this business for a few hundred dollars per month, with a minimal down payment, it becomes a much easier decision and is almost like leasing a car – suddenly it’s a lot more economical”

When asked about Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Video-on-demand, Kenyon says “Netflix provides a great service, but their clients are different. Kiosks serve a more spontaneous audience who wish to watch a specific movie at a specific time. Most renters don’t want to wait 3 days for their movies and hope to get the ones that are at the top of their list. Furthermore, our kiosks have a similar subscription service to Netflix and Blockbuster for those avid renters who rent frequently. Combined with grocery stores and convenience stores, you are no longer forcing the renters to make a special trip to the video stores. As for VOD, while it has grown substantially, there is still a long time before it replaces DVDs, as the studios enjoy the revenue streams on all levels. DVDs are here to stay for at least another 5-10 years”

And now ELO Media offers affordable leasing packages (starting as low as $ 230 per month) for businesses established 2 years or more.

About ELO Media LLC

ELO Media, founded in 2003, is one of the leaders in the Automated DVD Vending Machines industry. In addition to owning and operating these machines, ELO media offers both individuals and retail business the opportunity to purchase and operate these machines at their locations in order to increase income and add value to their business. ELO Media’s goal is to provide movie lovers with the ease and comfort of renting movies 24-hours per day, 7 days per week at DVmatic locations.

Express Internet Technologies Releases Second Generation Rental Agency Rating System

Posted on by

Surrey, BC (PRWEB) July 17, 2010

Car Rental Express.com is the web’s best guide to worldwide independent car rental agencies. There are over 300 agencies in 70 countries with thousands of locations. Car Rental Express.com has been providing car rental reservations, safely and securely, to independent car rental agencies since 1999.

Formerly known as the “Consumer Reliability Index”, the “Renter Rated” symbol found on all car rental agency listings on Car Rental Express.com is the renter’s guarantee that the most important people in the car rental world, the Renters, have rated the car rental agency.

Renter Ratings are Real Ratings by Real People. Each agency is rated with between 1 and 5 stars on 10 different subjects:

o Promptness

o Rate-quote honored

o Staff knowledge

o Courteousness

o Vehicle availability

o Overall satisfaction

o Fairness of policies

o Good value

o Would rent again

o Recommend to others

The agency rating between 5 stars (excellent) and 1 star (poor) is the calculated average of all its ratings. Not only are the rental agencies rated on specific topics, but the renter can also write comments on their rental experience, good or bad.

When a car rental reservation is made on Car Rental Express.com the renter is offered the opportunity to rate the agency after the rental. Those that agree to rate the agency are sent an email post rental to link them to the rating process. All participants are entered in a monthly contest to win the cost of their rental.

Renters at Car Rental Express are the best judges of their own rental experience. Past renters’ experiences are broken down in the Renter Rating and subsequently benefit new online visitors for the following significant reasons:

o Objective and varied opinions

o City-specific index comparison

o Easy to read general rating, plus a ratings breakdown

o Assurance of reliability and quality

o Increased information and confidence

o Targeting of most important areas of service

Participants build up and maintain the Renter Rating for car rental agencies listed at Car Rental Express. The average Star rating for each agency is listed along with the number of ratings for a particular agency. This, along with the Car Rental Express agency comparison by city ultimately provides the best rental service to future renters.
