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

Moving Mountains Celebrates 10 Years of Full-Service Lodging

Posted on by


Steamboat Springs, CO (PRWEB) October 24, 2007

The catered ski chalet concept is still a new idea in the minds of US Skiers. This option has existed in Europe for years where hundreds of catered chalets are available. Few are aware that it has been offered in the US for 10 years.

Moving Mountains Chalets introduced their first chalet in Steamboat in 1998. Starting with one six bedroom home and as the owners and operators, Robin & Heather Craigen have grown their fledgling business to represent 14 private residences that are the best of what is available in Steamboat. You can rent any one of them with a full-service lodging package that will change your mind forever on what a ski vacation should be.

In addition to luxury vacation homes (chalets) that boast ensuite bathrooms, high-speed internet, private hot tubs and everything else you would expect from a 5-star hotel, the Full-service Package includes a private chef and team of staff preparing and serving you fresh cooked meals daily, chauffeur-driven airport pickup and private ski shuttle service (no rental cars needed), as well as acting as your private concierge service.

“Families like to stay in homes, rather than condos and hotels. They like to relax and spend time together and gather as a large group which creates a lot of work for someone when it comes to feeding and organizing everyone for a day on the mountain” said Robin Craigen, co-founder of Moving Mountains Chalets. “We offer them the option that their last run of the day is not to the store to buy food because we take care of the meals. Our staff provides a seamless vacation experience that begins when you land at the Steamboat airport and ends when they return you for your flight home.”

If you wonder why Catered Chalets are such a rare find, Moving Mountains will tell you that most Americans are just not aware that the catered package is available to them in a private home. Once they understand the value of the package, where personal time saved becomes personal vacation time, they are hooked.

“The USA is regarded by many studies as a vacation starved nation. The habit of taking just one or two weeks off per year places ever more importance on the success of a family vacation. The time-value of offerings such as the full-service catered package is a no-brainer once you have tried it and our repeat bookings confirm that our guests realize this.” said Craigen in answer to this question.

For additional information on the news relating to Moving Mountains Chalets, contact Robin Craigen or visit Moving Mountains Blog.

About Moving Mountains Chalets: Moving Mountains Chalets is a market leader in luxury ski lodging, offering vacation rental homes and catered chalets in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The company is owned and operated by Robin & Heather Craigen.

A Happy, Migraine-Free Relationship: Bradley Systems Celebrates 10 Years with Hertz

Posted on by

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 9, 2007

Considering that many marriages don’t last this long, it’s remarkable that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the partnership between green cleaning product developer Bradley Systems and The Hertz Corporation, the world’s largest general-use car rental company.

The business relationship began in 1997, when Hertz was looking for an industrial strength cleaner-degreaser that posed no health hazards to its employees. And it had to be safe enough to meet California’s strict environmental standards. Such a cleaner didn’t exist so the Fortune 500 company asked Bradley Systems to develop one.

“Hertz wanted a cleaner-degreaser so safe that OSHA (the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration) would not require their employees to wear any personal protective equipment to use it,” said Mark Bass, co-founder of Bradley Systems Inc. “But the product had to work fast and cut through dirt, grease and grime. That request provided the impetus for us to develop RTX#9, dubbed America’s first ‘Zero-Toxic’ Cleaner because it has no ozone-depleting, greenhouse gas, or global warming chemicals, and is biodegradable in water.”

Doesn’t aggravate allergies, asthma, or trigger migraine headaches.

RTX#9 is now used at all of Hertz’s car rental operations in North America. “Employees who use RTX#9 in the workplace prefer it to other cleaners because it is unscented and has hypoallergenic ingredients so it doesn’t aggravate allergies or asthma, or trigger a migraine headache in susceptible individuals,” says Bass.

According to CleanLink, a cleaning industry publication, research suggests that cleaners could be the reason people who are employed as cleaners and janitors have a higher incidence of asthma than found in other occupations.

“According to reports,” says CleanLink, “a common component of products with lemon, orange or pine scents–known as terpenes–can react with ozone in the air to form formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen (cancer-causing agent).”

Hertz and Bradley Systems share a similar vision in their commitment to establishing environmentally responsible business practices throughout their operations. In fact, it was positive environmental feedback on the RTX#9 from Hertz employees that led Bradley Systems to develop Zero-Tox, its lead consumer cleaner-degreaser product.

Zero-Tox is the first all-purpose, hypoallergenic household cleaner that is zero-toxic, biodegradable, with no chlorine, no petroleum, and no ammonia. It carries no health warnings and it has been tested at Duke University and was awarded the ACMI’s AP Seal of Approval. Zero-Tox is available in both the United States and Canada at http://www.zerotoxcleaner.com

Avis Middle East to Double Fleet Size to 20,000 Cars In Five Years

Posted on by

Sumner, MI (PRWEB) May 4, 2006

Mr. Domballe noted that senior officials from Avis in the Middle East are currently in Dubai to use the platform of ATM and meet with regional partners and promote the Avis network among travel agents and tour operators. “Intra-regional travel in the Middle East has been identified as an area of strong growth and our expansion in this market will ensure that Avis is conveniently positioned to capitalise on the intra-regional travel. We are expecting a year-on-year double digit-growth in our lease and rent a car business in the Middle East,” he remarked.

Avis country managers from nine countries are in the emirate to look at ways of further developing the already successful outbound business from the Middle East to all countries within the Avis network alongside developing inbound business to the region.

Mr. Domballe along with other senior Avis officials also used the Dubai visit to renew their agreement with their local partners Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba for Avis UAE. “We are delighted to renew our commitment with Avis after over three decades of representing them in the country as we work to bring our customers the best on offer in the rent a car business,” said Avis UAE Chairman, Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba.

Any Airport Car Hire Helps Stranded Travellers to Get Home During ‘Worst’ Winter in 30 Years

Posted on by

(PRWEB) January 22, 2010

Despite the hectic weather of the last few months in the United Kingdom and across Europe and the East, the company continues to do business as usual. That means getting the best price possible from our online booking engine which searches a wide number of providers for excellent rates.

Any Airport is an internet price comparison service which can offer cheap car hire at any airport across the world, including Car Hire Heathrow Airport and other useful locations.

Heavy snowfall across mainland Europe and UK, some of the worst seen in decades has led to an array of flights being cancelled. Luton airport, Gatwick airport and Manchester airport among others closing their runways leading to many people’s Christmas travel plans disrupted. Not only were the flights affected but it was harder to get to and from the airport as many trains and buses were cancelled. However, this actually led to an increase in rentals from Any Airport car hire. Customers were glad to be able to rent 4×4 vehicles which were properly equipped with snow tires and snow chains and so able to handle the worst of the weather.

Relieved driver Jim Reeves from Shropshire said: “My wife was having kittens because we flew into Heathrow airport on December 22 but already the pilot was giving us warnings of suspended onward travel facilities.

“We waited for a while in the airport terminal but none of the trains were running to our neck of the woods. Then we realised that for less than the price we were paying to get everyone in our family train tickets, we could just rent a car. “

“Because Any Airport allows you to make one way journeys free of charge* we could pick up the vehicle at Heathrow airport but drop it off at Shropshire and we still got a really good price. They sorted us out with the necessary winter gear and although the drive back was not fun we all made it home safely in time for Christmas.”

Even at airports that were not actually open Any Airport continued to rent cars. Many of our customers were drivers who did not have appropriate winter vehicles and wanted to get a 4WD vehicle. Some of the most popular rental choices were cars such as the Nissan Murano 4WD and the Toyota Land Cruiser 4WD.

For those who did manage to make it abroad in spite of the interrupted airport travel, there were amazing ski packages available. For instance you could get car hire Switzerland for only 16 Euros daily. This comes with ski racks for your equipment and satellite navigation systems to help get around the mountains. Switzerland is one of the world’s top ski destinations and Any Airport has convenient car hire at all the nearest airports including Zurich and Geneva International Airport.

You should also consider looking ahead to the summer. Pre booking is the way to get the lowest prices and if you were to book your summer car hire now you could save as much as 60% off the rental price during June, July and August. It also means that you are more likely to get the make and model of vehicle you want. Convertible cars are always popular summer driving choices but there are also economy, compact, prestige and MPV cars which have sun roofs so you can soak up the sunshine.
