Toy Cars For Kids To Drive
You can now buy toy cars for kids to drive that are either electrically powered or gas powered. These ride on cars are designed to be driven both inside and outside. However in all practicality most people will not have enough room inside to let their kids drive around.
There are a number of different features that these cars come with. Depending on the model they may be able to drive in reverse as well as forward. They may have working lights and a horn, always fun as kids do love to make noise. Just like a real car most model have a pedal accelerator. There tends to not be a foot break as most vehicles sold are electric and will stop when you remove your foot from the pedal.
One nice feature, especially for the younger children, is the separate remote control. This has two functions as it can be used by the parent to keep control of the kids car. When the child becomes conversant with the controls they can use it to drive it as if it was a large remote controlled car.
The styling is also available in a wide range designs. You can get cars, trucks, lorries, tractors and racing or sports cars. You can also get them in the style of popular real sized adult cars such as a Porsche, Hummer or VW Beetle to name a few. They are also available in popular television and movie character designs. The Disney character models are quite popular, particularly from the Disney film Cars.
Thankfully most of the models you can buy arrive pretty much fully assembled. There may be the odd bit that needs attaching but it shouldn't be a major of time consuming job. This is great as your kids will be eager to try out there new toy.
So now to some more practical considerations. As will all things battery powered they are going to need recharging. With a new battery you should pretty much get about 2 hours of driving time. As the battery is recharged over time the power of the battery will reduce so it will not last as long after being charged.
Although these are toy card for kids they can be quite heavy so if you are planning a longer trip maybe to the shops or local park then make sure the battery is fully charged beforehand. You don't want to be far from home when the battery runs down as it means you are going to have to push it back.

Advertising For Auto Dealers
According to Carat, a leading independent media communications agency, total ad spend in the US is expected to increase by 1.7% in 2011. All media are expected to return to growth, except for the newspaper sector, which, along with magazines, is expected to be the weakest performer. The two biggest areas of growth are internet and television, followed by radio, outdoor and cinema Online continues to capture a bigger percentage of the media spend in 2010 at 11.3%, increasing to 12.1% in 2011.
The trend towards mobile smart phone devices to reach people on the move cannot be over-emphasized.
Now, given this landscape let me ask you the following questions:
# What is your advertising strategy for 2011?
# Do you have a plan to minimize advertising leakage or waste?
# Do you have an integrated multi-media advertising strategy across ALL your media channels to maximize advertising message, leads and conversion?
# Do you have a rigorous tracking mechanism in place know which channel provided the best ROI, and more importantly, to quickly adapt to changing response, leads and conversion patterns?
Despite the changing demographic and ad spend landscape many automobile dealers continue to devote the majority of their ad budgets to TV, newspapers and radio. It is true that the internet is getting a larger share of today`s ad budget, however, there is NO INTEGRATED strategy yet in place to minimize advertising leakage or waste.
Every month, the average automobile dealership spends about $50,000 in advertising and the average dealership will use a combination of TV, newspaper and magazines, radio, direct mail and the internet to advertise. The key, critical question is HOW all of these channels are integrated to resemble a circle where EACH channel provides input into the other and validates the brand message that the dealer wants to convey.
In my opinion, the most ROI effective, integrated advertising strategy MUST encompass the following and the appropriate online platform to enable seamless execution:
# TV: You are already spending money here so make sure you include your toll free #, website info and provide an incentive for your watchers to respond to your shortcode keyword.
# Newspapers & Magazines, Radio & Direct Mail: A contact phone #, website and shortcode keyword are critical here. Note that a response to your shortcode keyword will allow you to direct your customers by smart phone to your mobile website, YouTube and Social Media sites.
# Your Online Website: Must be well planned, easy to navigate and SEO optimized. Do not forget a call to action to your shortcode keyword.
# SMS Text Marketing Platform (Opt-in): If you do not have this, you are missing a HUGE part of your potential audience. For people on the go, you can push through instant coupons, discounts, contests and gratification.
# Automated Submission Of Ads On YouTube & Social Media: Your presence in this space without a lot of effort and resources is key. Tie in with the other strategies produces maximum results.
# Automated Mobile Website Capacity: This is critical in today’s smart phone environment and to reach the Y generation.
# Tracking & Measurement: Having a separate shortcode keyword for each advertising channel will allow you to track responses, leads, conversions and ongoing customer lifetime value. This will also show you over time which channel represent you most effective ROI and potentially reduce your ad spend.
Once you have your prospects and customers keycode contact #, you can now send your prospects periodic new sales specials and coupons, and for existing customers, reminders and/or coupons for maintenance and other services.
Now, you are wondering HOW you could do all that without incremental expense. First, doing this for 6 9months should show you which channels have the smallest or even negative ROI for possible elimination. Second, the potential incremental sales from this strategy should more than make up for any additional expense with this strategy.
You can position your company today to capitalize on the new advertising landscape by incorporating these multi-media advertising strategies to improve your ROI. Many of your competition are already doing it.
