In January 2008 Ford Motor Company conducted an experimental conference with a small number of specially selected and invited dealers. Dealers were selected for their outstanding leadership and innovations which were reflected by their retention of market share for the Ford Brand. This "Ford Line Of Sight" Dealer Conference Presentation was delivered by Ralph Paglia to introduce the FLMDA Program for Dealers and the value of Digital Advertising to these leaders amongst the Ford dealer network...

7. When we check on Albuquerque, acting like we work for Rich Ford, we find 24 Radio Stations have provided Google with direct inventory access …

8. So, what would be available to Rich Ford if we wanted all the inventory we could get, running Radio Spots 24 hours a day, bidding on a CPM basis…

9. Running Radio Spots 24 hours a day, paying $1.59 on a CPM basis, we would get 8,042 spots at a $10,611 total, comes out to $1.32 per Spot

10. What if we Ran Rich Ford’s Radio Spots ONLY DURING PRIME DRIVE TIME, Monday through Friday, paying on a CPM basis… On 24 Albuquerque & Santa Fe Radio Stations? How Many Spots can we get, and at What Cost?

11. Running Radio Spots ONLY DURING PRIME DRIVE TIME, on 24 Radio Stations in Albuquerque/Santa Fe market, paying on a $2.13 CPM basis, we would get 3,335 spots at a $8,932 total campaign cost, which comes out to $2.68 Average Cost per Prime Drive Time Spot

12. Normally we would check the box “I already have an ad” and then upload our 30 second radio spots to be pushed directly into each stations rotation software and then broadcast… But, I still need to get the spots (and permission) from Dennis!

13. We saved the campaign and only need Dennis Snyder to supply the 30 second spots he wants to run so we can upload them into Google’s system and pull the trigger…

16. Back to the Campaign Summary Screen, we see that Google will let us bid on local newspaper advertising…

17. Google Print Ads… Let’s see if we could save Rich Ford any money on buying newspaper display ads.

18. In this initial starting section, we are going to see if any newspapers in Rich Ford’s market area have signed up with Google...

20. We Select the Newspaper section we want

21. Next, we select the size of Newspaper Ad we want to run, In this case we know that Rich Ford likes to own the whole page

22. Now, we bid on the Saturday full page ad And, we bid on the Sunday full page ad…

23. In this example, $951.85 on Saturday (we “low balled” the newspaper bid) At $1,324.92 for a Full Page, we low balled the Sunday bid as well.

25. Next, we enter a short description, then save the campaign.. .

26. Just like the Radio campaign, we get a summary description and links to edit the Newspaper campaign later on.. .

27. In less than an hour, we set up Online Display Ads, Search Engine Ads, Radio Ad Campaigns on 24 stations, and a Saturday/Sunday F ull Page Newspaper Ad Campaign.
