RocketCity (RCTY) Expands Operations in Florida with the ``World’s Premier Chevy Retailer'' and the Florida Automobile Dealers Association.
ORLANDO, Fla.--Rocket City Enterprises, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:RCTY), has signed a contract with Bill Heard Chevrolet to use the company’s CompleteAuto Listing Software. The Company has also become the premier level sponsor of all upcoming Florida Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) events. These expansion efforts will aid RocketCity in becoming the predominant solutions provider in one of the largest states in terms of total automobile sales with more than $50 billion in revenue according to National Automobile Dealers Association statistics from 2006.
“With our corporate headquarters located in Florida, one of the most lucrative auto markets in the country, it’s in the best interests of our organization and its shareholders to heavily target the dealerships in this area. The signing of Bill Heard Chevrolet gives us a substantial foothold that will only be strengthened by our sponsorship and marketing efforts through the Florida Automobile Dealers Association and other avenues,” states Jeff Roman, CEO of Rocket City Enterprises.
Bill Heard Chevrolet, the world’s largest Chevrolet dealership, has begun using the enhanced version of the CompleteAuto Listing Software in their Sanford, Florida location. This is the second Bill Heard Chevrolet location to sign up to use the CompleteAuto software. While they’re currently taking advantage of eBay Motors Local Market program using the CompleteAuto software, they have also seen the benefit of using CompleteAuto Dealer Assistants to create listings and assist them in having their entire pre-owned inventory sent to eBay Motors through the CompleteAuto software.
“We saw the benefit of selling on eBay Motors and were impressed by what the sales team from CompleteAuto had to offer. Their highly competent Dealer Assistants came out to our lot and did all the hard work for us making the process extremely simple. The new version of their software makes managing our listings, offers and sales as simple as can be. We couldn’t be happier at this point with our selection of CompleteAuto as our listing tool,” said Rendall Lee of Bill Heard Chevrolet.
RocketCity will have premier sponsorship status at FADA’s main events through 2007-2008. These events give RocketCity direct access to the organizations’ 815 dealer members throughout Florida. The first sponsored event is the “Face-2-Face” Annual Meeting on October 22-23 including presenting sponsorship of the presentation entitled ‘How to Survive in the Competitive Online Marketplace’ by Steve Lindhorst, an eBay Motors Powerseller. RocketCity will then sponsor the FADA’s 6th Annual Reception held in conjunction with the NADA Annual Convention & Expo on February 10, 2008. The sponsorship package allows Company representatives to attend the private FADA Board of Directors Dinner in January 2008.
“We’re happy to have RocketCity as an Associate Member of FADA and a premier corporate sponsor of our 2007-2008 events. The products and services they provide dealerships, along with the fact that they are a Florida-based company, makes them a great choice to be part of our organization. Their sponsorship of our upcoming events shows their commitment to our statewide industry,” states Ted Smith, president of the Florida Automobile Dealers Association.
The upgraded version of the CompleteAuto software offers users a streamlined interface and administrative tool making the already easy-to-use tool that much simpler. A limited release version was made available on August 1 with the national roll out coming today.
