Look Mom, an Award!

If Auto Dealer Monthly had an awards banquet, what would it look like?  Would it be in a hotel convention center with lots of bronze, silver, and gold?  A dealership show room decked out in red, white, and blue? Or would it be a live web cast of award winner announcements straight off a Florida golf course (or maybe a marathon route)?  Hmm… Arsenio Hall could come out of retirement and guest host.  We would enjoy that.

Here’s a question… what do Arsenio Hall and Interactive Financial Marketing Group have in common?

The answer… 1989.

Arsenio Hall hosted his first late night talk show in January of 1989.  IFMG, aka 1-800-Car-Loan began taking applications for a local dealership that same year.  Of course we’re still here and uh, well Arsenio Hall is somewhere.

This week we are celebrating our 4th Auto Dealer Monthly Dealer’s Choice Award in the Special Finance Leads category.  That means that readers of the magazine, mostly auto dealers from across the United States think we’re the cats pajamas.  We’re honored to have received the votes and recognition.  Thank you to all who voted. Congrats to all those who placed in the category.

A big “thank you” goes out to our employees, many of whom through the economic downturn have passed on 40-hour-a-week opportunities to stay and work tirelessly to serve our customers.  We’re inspired to work around them every day.  Thanks to our vendors and affiliate partners who work with us to optimize marketing channels that attract the best local consumers to our network.  Of course, thank you to the many consumers who have placed their trust in us to protect and secure their privacy while connecting them to a sincere source of financing.

After these past 18 months, we don’t take many things for granted.  It’s nice to receive the recognition.  We look forward to serving more in the near future.  Now let’s Sell More Cars!
