DBJ: The Dealer Business Journal Story

Dealer Business Journal provides used-vehicle professionals with timely, informative industry news, analysis and expert advice empowering them with the knowledge and expertise necessary for their financial success.

Dealer Business Journal is a monthly used-vehicle industry trade publication that focuses on the financial interests of used-vehicle dealers, both franchised and independent. Our monthly magazine has a special focus on the buy here-pay here, subprime and specialty finance segments of a $345 billion a year industry.

The magazine provides cutting-edge ideas, market intelligence and timely information to automotive retail professionals to operate their businesses more profitably and efficiently. We believe information and expert analysis in a coherent, concise format empowers dealers to make lucrative business decisions.

One of our expanded sections is now known as the Dealer Coach Central. This is an expanded look at our Leedom Market Indicators. These market indicators provide a benchmark measurement for the conventional retail, special finance and buy here-pay here sectors of the used vehicle industry. This section is designed to help you measure your business and identify areas for improvement. As always, you will find these indicators in every issue.

Currently we reach a focused group of more than 20,000 of the most outstanding automotive retail professionals across the country — at the decision-maker level. We count among our numerous resources experts in automotive journalism, dealer training, financing, industry economics and automotive law.

Dealer Business Journal in the coming months is planning an update of its existing product. We have hired full time staff to oversee the implementation of some terrific ideas. We will continue to provide insightful market analysis from such industry leaders as: Chris Leedom, Chuck Bonanno, Emily Beck, Tom Hudson, Keith Whann, Jim Jackson and many others. Peter Salinas will provide first-rate news coverage and editing. He is a 20-year veteran automotive journalist. We have a new look forthcoming as well as special focus issues planned. Stay tuned.

We believe that information is power. The Dealer Business Journal is intended to be a leading source of information. You will not find any window dressing or feel-good stories — just real strategies, market analysis and tools to help you maximize the performance and profitability of your dealership. We invite feedback and comments about our content. If you would like to see a particular topic addressed let us know. To submit your comments simply email us at info@dealerbusinessjournal.com.
