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!

In April we received our first Graphic Excellence Award (GEA) for our 2012 Interactive Holiday Card!  Presented by the Printing Industries of the Gulf Coast, we are excited to be recognized by this prestigious organization.  May brought us another milestone in the social media arena, as our YouTube videos were viewed over 500 times, spanning 10 countries!  We also launched our BEBdata LinkedIn page, so be sure to follow us as we blog weekly BK statistics along with other industry news.
