ONECOMMAND WINS “HIGHEST RATED” DRIVINGSALES VENDOR RATINGS AWARD
Cincinnati, OH — OneCommand, the nation’s leader in preference-based, automated, multi-channel marketing, has been awarded the “Highest Rated” DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Award for 2009, which recognizes the company as #1 in dealer satisfaction for database/owner marketing, as determined by the thousands of dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community.
“In 2009, we were laser-focused on helping our dealer customers navigate some of the worst market conditions in the industry’s history, and we did this by delivering a record number of integrated, automated, relevant and professional communications,” said OneCommand CEO Al Babbington. “Helping our dealers save time and money — all while closing, retaining and increasing the value of their customers — is our highest priority, which is why we are deeply gratified to be recognized as #1 in satisfaction by the dealer community.”
According to Babbington, OEMs, Consolidators and Dealers alike are recognizing that the proper use of multi-channel communication is the industry’s most effective way to drive revenue in today’s market. This increased traction has resulted in a 40% year-over-year increase in communications driven by OneCommand which, at the same time, has provided the company with massive amounts of data to help auto retailers better segment and target consumers. These new segmentation opportunities — along with new solutions for mobile marketing, increased industry adoption of OneCommand’s preference manager tool, and the Company’s newly expanded enterprise reporting tools — all contribute to OneCommand’s continuing market leadership in driving positive results for its customers.
“We are proud to present this award to OneCommand, which has achieved a standard of excellence that is clearly resonating with dealers,” said DrivingSales CEO and Founder Jared Hamilton. “This year’s award-winners have won recognition in one of the most challenging years on record for our industry. We salute them for their ongoing commitment to provide value to their dealer clients.”
The 2009 DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Awards, presented at the 2010 NADA Convention and Expo, measured satisfaction with vendors by allowing dealers to rate and review their vendors online at DrivingSales.com.
