			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>The Internet is the fastest growing marketing medium in the automotive industry as many of the car buyers spend more time online than traditional media like TV, newspapers or radio. Many auto dealers today say that Internet has provided them with the highest return on investment (ROI) in the recent years. According to a survey from Autobytel, one hundred percent of respondents in their survey reported their Internet strategies helped them through many challenging times and a majority (79.5%) of them reported that Internet has been their highest ROI. Almost all (96%) of dealers predict that the Internet will play a larger role in their marketing in the next five years.</p>
<p>So, it makes a huge sense to invest in online marketing channels. E-mail marketing is one of the most effective marketing channels of Internet to promote products  services. According to Borrell Associates, car dealers are expected to increase their online ad spending by 8.6%, significantly in e-mail, social networking and video campaigns. If implemented correctly, e-marketing can result in increased sales, downloads, inquiries, registrations etc. </p>
<p>Although e-mail marketing has become a very popular tool among many dealerships, some of them are still unsure about the benefits e-mail marketing. Here is a list with some of the main benefits of e-mail marketing for auto dealerships: </p>
<p><b>Trackable form of communication</b><br />
E-mail marketing is a trackable form of communication. It helps you to determine how effective your campaign has been. You can track and monitor the information including the number of e-mails sent, e-mails opened, who opened, who clicked and which links they clicked on etc. This data enables you to assess the success of e-mail campaigns and helps you to improve your approach towards marketing your dealership.</p>
<p>You can track an exact return on investment using properly executed e-mail marketing campaign. It is often reported as the most effective online marketing tactic, next only to search marketing. </p>
<p><b>Contact customers on regular basis</b><br />
While new sales or new customers are great, maintaining regular contact with existing customers is also important for any auto dealership. But many times, dealerships focus only on the initial sale and forget the customer. They do not understand the lifetime value of a customer. </p>
<p>Keeping in touch with customers on a regular basis through a good e-mail marketing campaign, informing them about various services and products will increase the frequency of generating repeat purchases from them. People who are receiving your e-mails may not be ready to buy your products or services right away. But they are more likely to remember and come back to you while buying. </p>
<p><b>Cost effective</b><br />
For many auto dealerships, one of the useful and cost effective methods to communicate online with consumers is e-mail marketing. When compared to other marketing channels, launching an e-mail marketing campaign is extremely cheap. E-mail marketing is many times cheaper than advertising with traditional mass media. You need not spend huge amounts of money on printing or postage expenses. It is said that e-mail marketing is around 20 times cheaper than direct mail.</p>
<p><b>Increases customer loyalty</b><br />
Winning new customers is more expensive and exhaustive than retaining your existing customer base. E-mail is a great way to inform your customers about new offers and products at your dealership. It enables you to personalize and greet each and every customer. You can also send them personalized greetings on their birthdays, anniversaries and festivals to make them feel special; this improves their loyal towards your dealership. </p>
<p>You can send newsletters, latest information of automobile sector, news, offers etc. through e-mails to make their lives easier and also to improve their loyalty towards your dealership. Informative e-mail newsletters and other e-mails build awareness, contribute to branding, strengthen relationships, encourage trust and cement loyalty among the prospects.</p>
<p><b>Target large number of customers</b><br />
E-mail marketing allows you to reach out to millions of people throughout the globe. There is no geographical limitation to e-mail marketing. Though you can reach global audience with other advertising channels like radio, TV and printed media, they are very expensive compared to e-mail marketing. Moreover, e-mail marketing allows you to narrow your audience by targeting the prospective customers. You can build custom lists to reach only those who might require your services or products in a matter of seconds.</p>
<p>E-mail marketing is a cost effective, highly responsive and opportunistic medium for communicating with prospective customers. It can bring huge benefits to your dealership, if executed in a correct way. Many auto dealerships are already reaping its benefits. Go ahead, initiate an extremely targeted and effective e-mail marketing campaign to increase your profits.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>One of the most important parts of an insurance claims product is the document management and storage. It starts out with the basic paper flow procedures and document storage, which until recently was the old cabinet filing system and for many still is. With the advent of electronic technology, many of us are paperless. Let’s take a look at the financial differences and some of the steps to get there.</p>
<p>How much money do you spend each day photocopying, filing, distributing, and updating paper documents? Most companies don’t have any idea because paper handling has been a part of office procedures for so long &#8211; it is regularly overlooked as a cost. Going paperless with an Electronic Document Management System or EDMS, is proven to reduce document handling costs and liabilities, sometimes saving up to 90% of labor costs. But With the current pressure of tight economic times, many companies are making the change to an EDMS in coming years. As one evaluates the saving realized with an Electronic Document Management System, the first step is gaining a clear picture of what your company is spending today on paper document handling, and alternative solutions to your current procedures.</p>
<p>Almost everyone has a scanner today, scanning software is relatively inexpensive. Using OCR tools is also an inexpensive procedure and included in many scanning software products. Using the standard Microsoft products built into windows normal operating systems allow indexing of your scanned/OCR’d documents with easy retrieval using the built-in search functionality, which allows you to even control the search locations and environments. While this is a very rudimentary process, the tools are out there today to help you get started. As the system requirements become more sophisticated, it’s easy to upgrade. Any niche business software products that may be used in claim handling, policy administration, cost accounting or time and billing, should be able to incorporate these functionalities.</p>
<p>Almost every office uses a variety of paper forms and printed reference materials as an integral part of their business. Paper forms are used to trigger daily office procedures. Printed documents act as a concrete ‘official version’ for future reference. These methodologies have been developed over time and they work well, but things are starting to change.</p>
<p>There are several trends that are coming together that may convince many offices that it’s time to kick the paper habit. Most documents begin as electronic files. More than ever, offices with paper-based systems find themselves printing out emails and faxes, just so that they can file them. Many employees are comfortable with computers. Every year, a greater percentage of employees are comfortable relying on computers and electronic files for core functions in their daily work. Economic conditions are driving cost-saving measures. Many companies are realizing that they can save real money by going paperless. With that extra motivation, Electronic Document Management Software (EDMS) is on the shortlist of future cost-saving initiatives.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it’s not immediately clear how a paper process costs money. Most companies have been using paper since day-one and haven’t taken the time to objectively evaluate if it’s still the best way to run their business. The following are the top 7 costs associated with using and maintaining a paper process.</p>
<p>1. Document-retrieval labor costs<br />
2. Document filing efficiency and accuracy<br />
3. Paper, toner, and per-page copy costs<br />
4. Physical proximity costs<br />
5. Disaster recovery costs<br />
6. Retention period maintenance costs<br />
7. Environmental costs</p>
<p>A process audit is a thorough, objective review of the everyday tasks that are related to your paper process. The audit is a powerful tool for cutting through perception and revealing the facts beneath. An audit should always be friendly, focusing on the process, not the employee. A process audit can be conducted by someone within your organization or purchased from a company that specializes in on-site audit service. In an audit, you determine the average time that it takes to complete each task and multiply that by the average wage for a person in that role. In this way, you are able to develop reliable dollar figures that represent your everyday document-handling tasks.</p>
<p>When complete, the audit will uncover high-cost and high-risk document handling processes that had been overlooked in the past. Armed with that information, a company can easily see where an EDMS will save them money and, in turn, calculate their Return on Investment.</p>
<p>Many companies can realize significant savings with an Electronic Document Management System. To calculate your Return on Investment with EDMS, you need a clear understanding of what you spend today handling paper documents. A process audit is the most effective way to get an accurate, objective view of current document-handling costs. Armed with this information, you can make an informed decision on how electronic document management can meet your needs.</p>

As one evaluates the saving realized with an Electronic Document Management System, the first step is gaining a clear picture of what your company is spending today on paper document handling, and alternative solutions to your current procedures.</p>
<p>Almost everyone has a scanner today, scanning software is relatively inexpensive. Using OCR tools is also an inexpensive procedure and included in many scanning software products. Using the standard Microsoft products built into windows normal operating systems allow indexing of your scanned/OCR’d documents with easy retrieval using the built-in search functionality, which allows you to even control the search locations and environments. While this is a very rudimentary process, the tools are out there today to help you get started. As the system requirements become more sophisticated, it’s easy to upgrade. Any niche business software products that may be used in claim handling, policy administration, cost accounting or time and billing, should be able to incorporate these functionalities.</p>
<p>Almost every office uses a variety of paper forms and printed reference materials as an integral part of their business. Paper forms are used to trigger daily office procedures. Printed documents act as a concrete ‘official version’ for future reference. These methodologies have been developed over time and they work well, but things are starting to change.</p>
<p>There are several trends that are coming together that may convince many offices that it’s time to kick the paper habit. Most documents begin as electronic files. More than ever, offices with paper-based systems find themselves printing out emails and faxes, just so that they can file them. Many employees are comfortable with computers. Every year, a greater percentage of employees are comfortable relying on computers and electronic files for core functions in their daily work. Economic conditions are driving cost-saving measures. Many companies are realizing that they can save real money by going paperless. With that extra motivation, Electronic Document Management Software (EDMS) is on the shortlist of future cost-saving initiatives.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it’s not immediately clear how a paper process costs money. Most companies have been using paper since day-one and haven’t taken the time to objectively evaluate if it’s still the best way to run their business. The following are the top 7 costs associated with using and maintaining a paper process.</p>
<p>1. Document-retrieval labor costs<br />
2. Document filing efficiency and accuracy<br />
3. Paper, toner, and per-page copy costs<br />
4. Physical proximity costs<br />
5. Disaster recovery costs<br />
6. Retention period maintenance costs<br />
7. Environmental costs</p>
<p>A process audit is a thorough, objective review of the everyday tasks that are related to your paper process. The audit is a powerful tool for cutting through perception and revealing the facts beneath. An audit should always be friendly, focusing on the process, not the employee. A process audit can be conducted by someone within your organization or purchased from a company that specializes in on-site audit service. In an audit, you determine the average time that it takes to complete each task and multiply that by the average wage for a person in that role. In this way, you are able to develop reliable dollar figures that represent your everyday document-handling tasks.</p>
<p>When complete, the audit will uncover high-cost and high-risk document handling processes that had been overlooked in the past. Armed with that information, a company can easily see where an EDMS will save them money and, in turn, calculate their Return on Investment.</p>
<p>Many companies can realize significant savings with an Electronic Document Management System. To calculate your Return on Investment with EDMS, you need a clear understanding of what you spend today handling paper documents. A process audit is the most effective way to get an accurate, objective view of current document-handling costs. Armed with this information, you can make an informed decision on how electronic document management can meet your needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>Everyone loves the look and feel of leather furniture. In fact, leather is one of the most sought after materials for comfortable furniture and as such, it tends to be a bit tricky to keep clean. If you have small children or pets in your home, you know how difficult it can be to keep your furniture looking like it was on the day you bought it. But, there are a few tricks when cleaning leather that you can use to ease the pain and suffering you feel when it gets dirty.</p>
<p>One of the first things you are going to need to do is find moisturizing soap, preferably as natural as you can get. This type of soap is free of oils and will clean the leather deeply, while still leaving it manageable and soft to the touch. You should, however, test a small spot of the leather, somewhere that no one will notice, to see if it harms it in any way. Some soap has a high concentration of lye, and this can cause a burning or slight bleaching effect on leather. If it passes the test, then you are free to use the soap.</p>
<p>You should use a damp wash cloth and allow the liquid moisturizing soap to soak into it before rubbing it on the leather. If you use too much water in the wash cloth, it can cause the leather to tighten when it dries. Keep this in mind as it could end up ruining your entire sofa just to remove a small stain. Once you have the leather washed, take a dry highly absorbent towel and pat the moisture from the leather. This will help ensure that it dries evenly and does not pull the leather taunt.</p>
<p>If you are looking to get that extra shine after cleaning the leather, there are numerous kits available online to help you polish up that older leather and make it shine like new. They are fairly inexpensive and can greatly increase the look of your leather sofa and chairs with very little time put into the polishing aspect. Once you have all of this done, it is time to sit back and watch them get dirty again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>Everyone gets to the point where their living room could feel a bit newer if they move the furniture around a bit. While it does take a bit of work, and some of that work is back breaking at times, you can easily change the appearance of your living room by moving the furniture around to a different place. The first thing you should keep in mind is where your electric plugs are located, especially if you have lots of lamps or reading lights to plug in.</p>
<p>The next aspect of moving your furniture around in your living room is the windows. You aren’t going to want to block the windows with large pieces of furniture or place electronics close to them if they get direct sunlight. You should pay attention to where your fireplace is if you have one as well. Once you have all this worked out, then you can start moving furniture around. The first thing you should move is any focal point that you have, such as a television. You can work out where to place furniture once you know where your TV is going to be.</p>
<p>You want your living room to feel warm and welcoming to all that enter it, and placing your furniture around so that people can make eye contact when they chat is a priority you should consider. This comes in handy when you are entertaining friends and family, and you don’t want the extra noise of the television in the background.</p>
<p>You should also consider where you will be placing art objects and accessories compared to where your furniture is. Taking all of this into consideration should allow you to have the living room of your dreams in short order.</p>
<p>There is no wrong way to move your living room furniture. But you can make it a bit easier on yourself if you plan it out a bit ahead of time. While it’s a good idea to have some help, especially if you have large furniture around, you can usually do all the moving on your own with the use of a few accessories like a furniture dolly, or even those little pads you can use to move your stuff around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>When you are deciding on what to do to spruce a room up, you might want to think about the different kinds of window blinds you could use. Wood window blinds have a great way of creating an elegant and sophisticated look and feel to just about any room they are put up in. These window blinds are also a great way of keeping the harsh sunlight out of a room, keeping it nice and cool for you and your family to enjoy.</p>
<p>Being able to insulate a room is one of the most common reasons that people purchase wood window blinds. In the summer, they will keep the heat from coming into the room, especially with windows that have direct sunlight on them during the late afternoon and early evening hours.</p>
<p>They will also help keep the heat in the room when the winter months have made it cold and unbearable outside. Even though a lot of people would think heavy drapes would be better for this, wood blinds create an excellent barrier to the harsh temperature changes that come around with every seasonal change.</p>
<p>Wood window blinds are also extremely durable and easy to maintain, taking only a few minutes to wipe the dust off of them. Metal or aluminum blinds require you to be a bit gentler as they have a tendency to bend when you apply pressure to them. Wood, however, will hold up to the pressure of cleaning very well, and you can see this in the amount of time you are saving. They really are a great all around accessory to any room they are in, or your entire house, if you so desire.</p>
<p>When it comes to choosing the right blinds for you and your family, wooden window blinds always seem to fall into the top of the list. They have a great feel and look a lot more natural than the skinny aluminum blinds that you can buy at any store. Wood blinds can be found in most home improvement stores, and also online. The only issue you might have is in the measurement of the window frame to make sure that you have the perfect fit for your window.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>When it comes time for you to choose what kind of window blinds you should have, wooden blinds will give you the warmth and elegance you are looking for. These are great blinds for that sophisticated look, and they will give you the privacy that you aren’t able to get with other types of blinds. They will also do a very good job of keeping the harsh sunlight out of the room, especially in the late afternoons and early evenings if your windows face the setting sun.</p>
<p>Wooden blinds also make a great insulator in the winter time by absorbing the heat in the room and releasing it later at night. They are also great when it comes to offering you different designs and styles. You will find that wooden blinds offer you much more colors than other types, and you can always have them painted if they need to match a certain unique color aspect of your room. They especially bring out the feel of an office that you might have in your home. But you should always make sure to measure your windows to make sure they fit right.</p>
<p>You can find all kinds of different styles of wooden window blinds on the internet. You might be able to find a variety of styles in a local home improvement store if you live in a large city, but your best bet is to look online to get the perfect blinds for you and your home. You can even find places that will make them specifically for your windows. All you need is the right measurements and an idea of how you want them to look. Give this information to a manufacturer that will fabricate your specific blinds, and they will send them to you.</p>
<p>Once you get your blinds installed, you will notice that they bring out a natural look and feel to the room they are in. You will be amazed at how they can turn an otherwise dull room into something fantastic and warm. They do well in bedrooms for people that have to sleep during the day as well as they block out a great deal of light so you can get the rest that you need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px"></div><p>If you’ve had the frustrating and disappointing experience of spending lots of money on a website only to have it produce no traffic, you’re probably ready to give up. Before you do, have a look at the different ways to draw targeted traffic for free to your website.</p>
<p>•	First of all, be sure your website is submitted to the most search directories and search engines possible. In time, most search engines will gradually locate your site. Search directories will never locate your site. So you must be sure to submit your site to them. Don’t stay with only general directories. If you specialize in a niche of some sort, you can find a niche directory that will let you submit your site for free.</p>
<p>•	Try a social bookmarking websites. Your friends bookmark their favorite sites and visitors. When you bookmark your site there, you’ll get lots of traffic.</p>
<p>•	Write and issue a press release. There’s a lot of websites that will let you submit a press release about your company as well as services or products for free.</p>
<p>•	A terrific way to get exposure for your website is to write articles pertaining to the subject of your site. Then go around and submit them to free article directories. Afterwards, you can link these articles to your own site. The people that read your article may visit your website as well. Doing this can be an amazing way to gain free traffic for your site.</p>
<p>•	Using social media sites is another highly effective way to get traffic to your website. When you have a page on these sites, you can talk about your website with other members as much as you want. This can create a large amount of traffic for you that you won’t have to pay for.</p>
<p>If you haven’t tried any of these methods to get free traffic to your website, don’t waste another minute.</p>
