WHY ONLINE MARKETING?
•
•
•
•
•
Our National Ad spend has remained >$300+ billion a
Year, its not going up…but online is growing
Google is getting to $10B+ this year and all put together
Online Advertising will constitute about $25 billion of
the $300+ billion ad spend
That means that more and more advertisers are
spending online
Remember, Google did get to $10B because you & I
search and because businesses spend money in online
marketing
It is important that dealerships use part of their
advertising budget for Online Marketing

RAINMAKER PHILOSOPHY
•
•
•
•
•
•
A Dealership website is not a website, its an Online
Store – at least the izmo websites
The 3 questions each GM asks several times a day
• How many ups?
• How many sold?
• What’s the Average Gross?
When is the last time anyone (GM/ Dealer Principal)
asked questions about their website performance:
• How many Uniques?
• Most popular Navigation Path?
• Most converted forms?
• Website Conversion Ratio?
Every store needs a GM, a management team to be
successful
The reality is that store GMs do not have the time to
manage their online stores and neither should they have
to do it… that’s the job of the izmoRainmaker Team.
Everything that’s true in the real world is true in the
Online world.

RAINMAKER PRINCIPALS
•
•
•
•
•
Organic real results are better and much more long
term than Pay Per Click
There is no replacement for hard work, proven
experience, and cutting edge strategy. There are no
shortcuts, no silver bullet, no instant secret sauce
for success in Online Marketing.
Everything that’s true for the real world is true in the
online world
Have Long Term Goals but Short Term Objectives
Deliver Month after Month after Month…
PAY-PER-CLICK VS. RAINMAKER
Pay Per Click
Rainmaker
The majority of people on the internet know
Per Click ads are not natural results, and
therefore overall they are not trusted even in
the same ballpark as organic results
Rainmaker marketing results last because they
are organic
Pay Per Click only targets customers at the end
of their buying cycle
Rainmaker targets customers early on in their
buying cycle all the way through
Pay Per Click only gives you momentary
visibility
Rainmaker builds and sustains a long term
online presence
Pay Per Click impressions stop when you stop
paying for them
Rainmaker is sustained build up and fixed cost
PAY-PER-CLICK VS. RAINMAKER
Pay Per Click
Rainmaker
Pay Per Click Strategy is Key Word selection
Rainmaker strategy covers brand building,
targeted campaigns, navigation analysis, micro
sites, online “buzz” building and much more
Pay Per Click is a bidding match, cost will only
go higher with time and ROI will go lower, so
it’s a now win situation
Rainmaker limits your cost, with a fixed
monthly fee irrespective of how many
campaigns we run
Pay Per Click is inefficient (1-2%) conversion.
The only difference between Newspaper
Advertising & Pay Per Click is you know how
inefficient you are in Pay Per Click
Rainmaker concentrates on overall traffic
generation and conversion and is measured
plus analyzed at every step
Pay Per Click vendors charge a percentage of what they spend for you.
How smart is it to pay someone to spend more & not to get great results!
