MyProductAdvisor.com Shows Brand Preference for Ford & GM Growing

PALO ALTO, Calif.--MyProductAdvisor.com today released striking results that bode well for America’s two largest Auto Manufacturers. In July of 2009, shoppers showed a dramatic increase in preferences for Ford and GM over the same measurements in September of 2008. Shopper preference for the Ford brand increased by 73 % from September 2008 to July 2009. Most interesting is the significant increase in brand preferences for GM’s Buick, GMC and Cadillac lines, which increased between 11% and 16%.

These results emerged directly from the “auto advisor” on MyProductAdvisor.com, which offers shoppers an unbiased source that recommends product purchases specifically suited to their needs. In turn, Auto Manufacturers use the sophisticated intelligence generated from consumers’ preference data. “The source of our intelligence is real-time, in-market shoppers,” says Rich Falcone, President & CEO, Market Insight Corporation. “Auto OEM’s can utilize these insights to confidently predict shifting consumer sentiment for features and capabilities, and then appropriately adjust their ‘Go to Market’ strategies.”
