iMotors.com Slashes Prices For Online New Vehicle Leads To Reduce
Cost Per Transaction For Car Dealers Nationwide
Company Leverages Low-Cost Business Model to Dramatically Undercut
Current Pricing of Other Leading Competitors for Customer Referrals
WALNUT CREEK, CA (March 8, 2004) –
Next Phase Media, the world’s premier online referral source,
and its subsidiary iMotors.com, today announced it has trounced
competitors’ pricing in the automotive referral business by
slashing the cost of online leads to almost half those of major
competitors.
Free to consumers, iMotors.com is now the lowest-cost major referral
service in the industry for franchise dealerships. Charging as little
as $14.95 and at most $19.95 for leads, iMotors is intent on making
online referrals the most economic business development tool available
to dealers. Next Phase Media and iMotors can afford to cut current
industry pricing because of a low-cost business model that leverages
a single technology infrastructure and organizational structure
across multiple referral services and industries, including automotive,
residential real estate, lending and home improvement.
“iMotors.com offers higher quality leads at prices that allow
dealers to substantially improve their margins on every transaction,
said Payam Zamani, founder and CEO of Next Phase Media and iMotors.com.
“It just doesn’t make any sense for a dealership to
pay double the money when they can receive better leads from iMotors
at much lower prices.”
“Next Phase Media and iMotors.com are changing the economics
of the online referral business,” continued Zamani. “Because
we have low operational costs and these are shared with our other
verticals, we can be profitable selling leads to dealerships at
a price point that simply will not make sense for our competitors.
We’re excited about being able to continually drive down the
cost of quality leads and thereby build a stronger relationship
with dealers around the country.”
iMotors.com is a leader in delivering high volumes of high quality
leads to dealerships nationwide. Leveraging business affiliations
and advertising relationships with major portals, search engines
and automotive destinations across the Internet, as well as its
cross-selling capabilities with other Next Phase Media services,
