Kevin Yzquierdo, Retail Automotive Veteran Joins the MetaMarketing Team to Scientifically Improve Dealership Advertising Results

TROY, Mich.--April 10, 2006--MetaMarketing is pleased to announce their new alliance with OptimAds LLC, a Highland of Michigan-based automotive consulting firm. MetaMarketing now has a three-way alliance with Nutek, Inc, a Bloomfield Hills of Michigan-based quality engineering consulting firm and Fouresquare LLC, a Troy of Michigan-based marketing firm.

OptimAds LLC, was founded by Kevin Yzquierdo, the highly regarded retail automotive management specialist in SE Michigan. Kevin's ability to increase automobile dealership sales and revenue in both the fixed and variable departments is well known and respected throughout the region.

Seeing the opportunity that MetaMarketing provides to statistically analyze and optimize advertising and marketing initiatives at retail dealerships was of immediate interest to Kevin. Using the Taguchi Design of Experiments technique, Dr. Ranjit Roy of Nutek, Inc. has turned statistics into an art over his many years of practical hands-on application. The team has created a process specifically for the retail dealership environment, a break-through in this field.

After his preliminary analysis of 40 of the top volume dealerships in SE Michigan and their newspaper campaigns, Kevin could immediately see the power of using this tool. Using MetaMarketing to analyze weekly news ads for a pre-determined number of experiments will yield the optimal advertisement that will increase not only floor traffic and phone calls but most importantly the vehicle deliveries leading to increased market share and profitability.

Automotive manufacturers are expected to be very interested in the dealership application because they often pay 25%-75% of the ad cost with co-op funds. Increased sales means improved market share and R.O.I. for both the manufacturer and dealership, truly a win-win proposition.

Based on preliminary results, MetaMarketing is confident that dealership vehicle deliveries due to advertising can be increased by at least 20% and in some cases significantly higher.
