Forward Thinking For Used Car Sales
The GCADA, Greater Cincinnati Auto Dealer Association, is making an all out effort to assist dealers in Cincinnati in capitalizing on the strength of the used car market. With the consumers dollars being spent to a greater degree on used cars, the GCADA has developed a unique website for Cincinnati Used Car Dealers to display their inventory.
The concept is wrapped around a clean and easy to navigate map with stick pins. Each stick pin is associated with a participating dealer. When you mouse over the stick pin, the dealership information is displayed. Clicking on the stick pin enables you to see the entire used car inventory for that dealership on an interactive panel on the right hand portion of the screen.
This system allows the consumer to easily locate used cars that are of interest to them as if they are driving down the road to their local dealer. Location becomes a much higher priority for the online consumer in their searching.
With the partnership efforts of DealerLinkUSA, Cincnnati's premiere automotive online search marketing firm, drives online consumers to this site and only displays dealership inventories that match the specific Make or Model requested on their Google search. This strategy, referred to as "PinPoint Direct", has been very well received by dealers nationally when looking for a search strategy that both minimizes cost and increases the likelihood of a relevant customer to product match.
Hats off to the CGADA and their focus on the used car market and trying to become an effective partner with the Used Car Cincinnati Dealers.

Outdoor Events Across The Country
As the russet colors and rain-filled clouds of fall begin to creep in once again, many travelers heading out on autumnal vacations pack their sarongs and jet off east, to the sunny beaches of Asia. For those less intent on sipping cocktails on tropical sands, there's an irresistible, unconventional charm to donning gumboots and waterproofs rather than lotion and bikinis, and heading instead to the beaches of the watery, windswept West.
Vancouver, Canada's West Coast jewel, makes the perfect base for just such an off-season seaside jaunt. Though many prefer its plethora of summer festivals, or its winter skiing just moments away from the city, it's nevertheless one of the best places on earth for a wild, windy, white-water fall adventure.
Other areas a little closer to home in the U.S. such as Port Clinton Ohio where theWooden Feather Day event is cosponsored by Maumee Bay Carvers and the Friends of Magee Marsh.
Many events across North America and canada are appealing to a large number of people looking for low cost outdoor things for the family.

Remnants of Ike and Business
All over Greater Cincinnati, businesses were closed. Signs indicating so were taped to the front doors of establishments across the region. The gist was the same everywhere, but some got the point across in more interesting language.
Used Cars Cincinnati SuperStore Beechmont Subaru has been closed for 2 days "Due To Power Outage".
At Old Navy in Rookwood, shoppers were welcome but “Fitting Room Is Closed Due To No Lighting.”
Whole Foods Market looked on the bright side: “We Should Be Open Tomorrow.”
At Busken’s 24-hour bakery in Hyde Park: “Our Ovens Are Still Baking.”As might be expected, notices along funky Ludlow Avenue in Clifton were done with a little more flair.
At the Esquire Theater: “Due to repetitive power outages, we are unable to show films.”
Pangaea was experiencing “a distinct lack of electricity.”
And our favorite, on the door at store Toku Baru: “Watch For Flying Limbs…Tree Limbs!”

Upbeat Used Car Sales Continue In Cincinnati
The used car market is beginning to really turn around in Cincinnati. Dealerships from all points around the city are beginning to see things turn around.
The truck and SUV market in particular are showing signs of strength. Where there was once a glut of full size SUVs and trucks literally laying around on used car lots, that is now not the case.
Used Car Cincinnati Dealers have something to smile about in the wake of the slight gas price reduction and the local buyers have been seemingly rejuvinated and are back out on the lots looking for deals.
If the gas prices continue to stabalize or move down, the next market to likely see an uptick will be the new car sales market.
