September 2nd, 2008

West Chester, PA – September 2, 2008 – HomeNet, Inc. has announced that the automotive technology provider has launched a new online community aimed at connecting automotive dealers and industry professionals.  The new ‘IOL Community’ enables dealers to instantly connect with their peers to ask questions, share internet marketing best practices, and exchange viewpoints on a variety of subjects related to the automotive industry.  Membership is free and currently open to dealers and industry professionals throughout the United States and Canada, including the more than 13,000 dealership locations presently using the popular Inventory Online (IOL) Marketing Suite.  Long-time professionals as well as new-comers are all encouraged to join.

"In a rapidly changing marketplace, dealers need a way to cut through the spin in an effort to obtain accurate information on the multitude of issues that affect their bottom line,” commented HomeNet CEO Jesse Biter.  “IOL Community promotes a genuine sense of camaraderie among dealers, many of whom share similar challenges and experiences each day.  By engaging in an open dialogue with their peers, dealers can bypass the typical marketing rhetoric and redirect their due diligence efforts towards examining unique perspectives from actual end users. The authentic nature of this communication medium will encourage dealers to help one another, making an increasingly challenging industry a little easier to navigate.”
