AskPatty.com, Inc. Celebrates her Second Year Anniversary

Askpatty_fullbody_birthday AskPatty.com, Inc., reaches her second anniversary with above target revenue and an established brand presence leveraged by Web 2.0 best practices and venue in Second Life. The AskPatty.com, Inc. brand and Female Friendly Certified concept has been enthusiastically embraced and supported by women and her automotive industry peers. Ask Patty, the Automotive Advice for Women blog, launched on May 21, 2006, with its introductory post written by CEO and President Jody DeVere. Before that day two years ago, AskPatty.com, Inc. was just an idea; the attempt to make car buying easier and more pleasurable for women all over the country.

As the blog and business grew, the main hurtle was to get in front of women as well as provide enough resources to make it worthwhile for those women to visit AskPatty.com. AskPatty.com, Inc.’s innovative launch on a Web 2.0 social media platform as a blog, Ask Patty - Automotive Advice for Women, garnered their first press mention as a featured blog on SixApart Typepad. Leveraging social media within the blogosphere achieved a quick and strong brand presence, generating tons of press.

The idea behind AskPatty.com, Inc. is to be a safe place for women to go to get automotive advice and ask questions about anything and everything automotive related. In order to field the types of questions consumer women had relating to cars and trucks, DeVere created the Ask Patty Advisory Panel of Automotive Expert Women, which is chaired by Deborah Renshaw, top ranked professional female NASCAR driver. The panel was launched in order to make AskPatty.com, Inc. a truly unique forum for women. There weren't—and still isn't—any other auto web site out there that promises a live answer from other expert women in the industry. Plus, Patty promises an answer within about 24 hours, making it a truly valuable resource for women.

Answering questions and writing automotive articles is one thing, but what about when it comes to buying that car or truck? Now you are armed with information and you are the most educated gal on the block in car shopping, financing, insurance, and car maintenance, and it ends there.

Not for long. AskPatty.com, Inc. launched their Female Friendly Dealer certification program on September 1st, 2006, just over three months after the initial start of AskPatty.com, Inc., by placing a certified dealer search tool on their site. The concept was to provide dealers with training on how to properly sell cars and trucks to women, and then upon completion of the training and testing, AskPatty.com, Inc. would certify the dealership as “Female Friendly.” The next important step was to provide marketing expertise and tools for the dealership so that they could properly promote the new and valuable certification. The AskPatty.com, Inc. Program has two major components: the training element and the marketing tools.

Askpattylogowithurl_copy The Ask Patty.com, Inc. website, blog and Second Life venue is a safe place for women to get advice on car purchases, maintenance and other automotive related topics. Women can shop for vehicles at our network of certified female friendly dealerships across the U.S.
