SUCCESSFUL NADA 2015

Everybody is back from a great show in San Francisco, CA.  NADA (National Auto Dealers Association) 2015 was fantastic and it was great to see so many of our valued clients in one place.  Thanks to everyone that made this year’s NADA 2015 one of the best yet!

Don’t forget that NADA is moving the convention date in 2016, breaking from the traditional January/February timeframe.  The 2016 NADA Convention will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 31 – April 3rd.  Hope to see you there!

July 2013 Newsletter – Letter from Ann Frank-Shantz

2014-ANN APPROVED PHOTO OF ANNMinneapolis, MN – Can you believe that we’re already in the 3rd quarter of 2013?! The Holiday season seems like it was just yesterday and I was in Houston, visiting our corporate office, cheering on the Minnesota Vikings as they beat Houston!

In February, Sherry Merritt (Client Services) and I attended NADA Sherry and Larry(National Auto Dealers Association) Conference in Orlando, Florida.  This conference is unique as it provides a platform for the entire automotive industry to come together.  In addition to over 1,900 dealerships present, there were hundreds of allied industries there.  We had a great time with some of our existing clients and met a few new ones too!  Our Sherry Merritt is pictured here with Larry Stiver of VIP Marketing, Inc at NADA2013!
