Article Writing for the Auto Industry
11 June 2009
With the downfall of General Motors it seems like they could have used better Internet Marketing and a lot better technology in order to save themselves. But given the fact that there are over 40 popular car brands in the US, mostly imported, the best thing to do is to promote your brand, your car and even your model, which means the style and the year.
SalemGlobal works with a Chicago Hyundai Dealer, World Hyundai out of Matteson, Illinois, (http://www.WorldHyundaiMatteson.com) and as you may or may not know, Hyundai itself has 12 different car models. Out of each of these models, there are different production years and different features of these cars. Nowadays you can probably get a car in any color you like, with endless additions such as air conditioning, power windows, CD, DVD player, multimedia, leather interior, sunroof, iPod connectivity and built in GPS. You can also get driving and safety features like a four, six, or eight cylinder engines, four or two wheel drive, anti-lock breaks and stability control systems as well as security measures like air bags and safety rating tests up the wazoo.
Putting all these topics together you are left with plenty of keywords. So, as a car dealer, you certainly have over 52 potential articles to write about your brand, organization or company and if you need help doing so please give SalemGlobal a call at 212-993-5828 or check out our website at http://www.SalemGlobal.com.

Meeting with Advertising Industry legend Arnie Semsky
26 March 2009
For those of you who are skeptical about the power of online networking, here is a great story. During college I had an Internship at BBDO, one of the largest most powerful ad agencies in the world. It was such an amazing life experience that it has stuck with me for the past 20 years. Here I was, a 19 year old geeky thin yarmalke wearing jewish kid from Long Island working on a brand spanking new Apple Macintosh creating spreadsheets that displayed projections for SUper Bowl ads over the next 5 – 10 years.
Anyway, LinkedIn started up their own networks (as a result of Facebook kicking their asses in the social media space) and there was Arnie Semsky, the former Executive Vice-President, Worldwide Media Director and Board Member of the BBDO Worldwide unit of the Omnicom Group. I contacted him telling him that my BBDO college Internship absolutely influenced who I am and where I am today (the CEO of one of the oldest and most experienced website marketing firms in the country.) I asked him if I could meet him for lunch and pick his brain on some business matters.
Suffice to say – it was an awesome meeting to meet such a legend in our time. Check out his bio at his website www.ArnieSemsky.com and maybe YOU can meet with him (and hire him if you meet his criteria

Custom Suits Contest from Alan David, Near Grand Central New York, NYC
12 February 2009
Just sent out this press release for one of our newest clients… Enjoy!
Alan David Custom Suits Announces Free Custom Made Suit, Custom Made Shirt and Custom Made Tie for the New Year
Alan David Custom Suits (http://www.AlanDavidNYC.com), to celebrate the New Year in style, is offering one custom suit, shirt and tie – priced at over $2,000 – for free. To enter the contest for this package, visit the Alan David Custom Suits homepage, www.AlanDavidNYC.com, or drop by the store at 16 East 40th Street, New York, NY 10016.
(PRWEB) January 14, 2009 — Alan David Custom Suits, to celebrate the New Year in style, is offering one custom made suit, custom shirt and tie – priced at over $2,000 – for free. To enter the contest for this package, visit the Alan David Custom Suits homepage, www.AlanDavidNYC.com, or drop by the store at 16 East 40th Street, New York, NY 10016.
Because of the recent economic downturn, there has been a surplus of high-quality fabrics in the marketplace. As a result, Alan David Custom Suits has been able to purchase an extraordinarily large amount of high-end Italian fabrics from the finest Italian mills. Suits that luxury department stores such as Nordstrom, Saks and Paul Stuart are now selling for $1,800-$2,500 are available at Alan David Custom Suits for only $995-$1,095.
Alan David Custom Suits has been in the business of custom suit manufacturing since 1926, when the original store was set up in New York and began to offer its customers one-of-a-kind bespoke suits that would fit on the very first try. Four generations later, this high-end men’s custom suit manufacturer is still thriving, fitting New Yorkers with nothing but the best in custom-made clothing.
The expert staff at Alan David Custom Suits understands that no two body types are alike. Using a unique set of 23 measurement techniques, which have been passed down and refined with each generation, Alan David Custom Suits makes sure that each of its bespoke suits is carefully configured to fit its customer’s individual body type. No two patterns are ever the same. In fact, the store’s mission statement is “To produce high quality men’s custom suits and shirts that fit as close to perfect the very first time.” Says owner Alan Horowitz: “Our obsession is 100% client satisfaction. Nothing less will do.”
Clothing items from Alan David Custom Suits have lined the wardrobes of top-rated TV shows such as Sex and the City and Saturday Night Live, and continue to make appearances both on the silver screen (Analyze This) and in a number of Off-Broadway shows. The company has also created custom suits and custom shirts for a good deal of celebrities, politicians, and prominent New York-area professionals, including Johnny Cochran, Chuck Schumer, Andrew Cuomo, Sheldon Silver, and Richard Grasso.
The fabrics for Alan David Custom Suits come only from luxury mills such as Scabal, Dormeuil and Zegna. The garments are all made domestically–no part of the garment-making process is outsourced overseas–and the suits are built in a state-of-the-art factory. Alan David Custom Suits uses all types of canvas and only the best interlings, which protects its garments against the frequent damages of dry cleaning. This advanced technology not only ensures the suits’ initial quality, it guarantees that even the hardest of suit wearers can count on a suit that can and will last. Gone are those embarrassing creases in the crotch area; Alan David Custom Suits’ patented lapel and chest canvases prevent bubbling and pilling even in the rain or snow. It is this kind of technological innovation–along, of course, with its unmatched fitting techniques–that helps Alan David Custom Suits rival other custom tailors on the scale of Brioni, Oxxford and the Savile Row.
“This place is great,” writes one satisfied customer. “I was always hesitant to go for custom suits because I was afraid the whole fitting process would turn into a complete hassle. But that wasn’t the case with Alan David. My custom suit fit just about perfectly the first time I tried it on.”
At Alan David Custom Suits, you can choose from thousands of distinct fabrics, many of which are on display as full-fledged suits, not merely as sample swatches that give only a partial indication of what a final custom product will look like. The fabrics are 100% handcrafted, and 99% stain-proofed. Furthermore, certain custom products, such as Alan David’s custom ties, come with a complementary gold medallion engraved with the customer’s initials.
First-time buyers at Alan David Custom Suits can also benefit from a wide range of discounts, including:
- $100 off every custom made suit.
- $50 off every custom made sports coat.
- $100 off every custom made tuxedo.
- 10% off every custom made trouser.
- 10% off every custom made shirt.
Alan David sells 20% of its clientele at their offices or homes, and is available to measure clients and have them select fabrics in their home or office, am or pm. Alan David custom suit will arrive 12 days to 3 weeks from the time of the initial order, which is one of the fastest turnaround rates in the country.
Best of all, Alan David Custom Suits offers free alterations for the life of the suit. So, whether its customers follow through on their New Year’s resolution to shed those few pounds or, as is often the case, these customers suddenly find themselves having to squeeze into their custom apparel–Alan David will alter the garment for free.
Alan David Custom suits can be found on the Web at http://www.AlanDavidNYC.com. Please call them today to make an appointment at 212-227-4040, or drop by the store at 16 East 40th Street, New York, NY 10016.

Facebook and Community Marketing
14 February 2008
383 Friends on Facebook. And let me repeat, I don’t just accept anyone, 99.9% of my friends on Facebook are people I “actually” know and have met at least once. We have actually spoken in person, went to school, went to shul, went to chul, played poker, went skiing, went to school, (elementary through college), met at conferences, seminars, attended trade shows, shook hands, are family members and were introduced by others. So if people are trying to be my friends on facebook because they see a posting of mine or we have something in common, I prefer to befriend only after we have had some type of significant interaction.
The definition of community marketing is marketing a product or service to a specific segment of a population or demographic. (By the way, I just bought http://www.CommunityMarketing.US) Facebook is the epitome of community marketing. Yahoo! has fallen down to the #2 slot. Google and Microsoft don’t really have their act together.
I have been involved in community marketing for over 10 years. First working in the Jewish community, I soon realized that all indutries and locations can be segmented into communities. That’s the reason why Internet marketing is so effective. It is the most efficient way of reaching an audience. TV, radio, newspaper, direct mail, outdoor, billboard etc. advertising has a lot of waste. Internet allows you to focus on selling product and service to a select few for less than other forms of advertising. If you aren’t hip to that, give me a call and I will explain further.
My past 2 weeks of Facebook updates are as follows. Today I am guerilla marketing http://www.hamantaschen.com and http://www.purim.com. As well as updating lots of Jewish sites so I can take advantage of the Jewish Holidays of Purim and Passover coming up. Part of that strategy is working with Jacob Richman and Shimshon Young, veteran Internet smart guys. Hopefully we will all make money together by helping eachother with our vast internet marketing knowledge and link juice.
