Auto Dealer Marketing Services

It's been scientifically proven that easily remembered numbers generate more calls, and InterActive Financial is offering dealerships the exclusive use of some of the most memorable phone numbers in the industry.

These vanity numbers are restricted just for your territory and are supported by a full media campaign including TV, radio, print and online banners. The media creatives are ready to roll; all you have to do is buy the local ad space and air time -- we handle the rest.

Signing up for 1-800-CAR-LOAN (or 1-800-AUTO-LOAN) comes complete with a 14-day QuickStart Training program and both numbers are supported by companion Web sites. Maybe best of all, the InterActive Financial Business Development Center can handle the calls from these 800 vanity numbers and set appointments on your behalf.

Could there be a more gift-wrapped system of customer delivery? Get in touch with an Interactive Financial representative today for more details on using 1-800-Car-Loan or 1-800-Auto-Loan in your area.

The Seven-Year Car Loan?


According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, the average new car loan is now five years, four months long. That's up more than six full months since 2002, and according to the Los Angeles Times, some 60 percent of all car loans are for 60 months or longer.

With even normally conservative lending outfits -- including the financing arms of Toyota and Ford -- offering seven-year loans, why do we bring this up? Because finance experts are saying dealers who keep rolling old debt into new loans could wind up selling cars that people will not be able to unload for years -- which could damage the entire industry down the road.
