Welcome from Bob
Welcome back to Dealernews,
From 1965 to 2015 Dealernews played a critical role in the health of our $24 billion industry. The magazine is where dealers learned of best practices, explored important issues and competed in the Top 100 Awards. Dealernews has been our industry advocate and our repository for information for the past 50 years… and now it is back.
OF THE DEALER
In May 2016, I purchased Dealernews – including its print and online archives, its digital assets (DealerNEWS ALERT e-newsletters), and the Top 100 Dealer Competition. In selling Dealernews to me, its former publisher, UBM Advanstar, ensured that Dealernews’ future would now be in Dealers’ hands.
BY THE DEALER
Dealernews works closely with Dealers across North America to examine the issues and challenges facing our business. Dealers collaborate on editorial projects — from requesting editorial investigations on issues of the day, to analyses of business tools, to surveys and research projects that will help the entire industry to succeed.
AND FOR THE DEALER
The new Dealernews is an information consultancy for the powersports retail network. Together, we can position the new Dealernews for the future and breathe life into our industry!
Ensuring that we are all on the same page, Dealernews is back as a monthly digital flipbook. The magazine is augmented by daily updates to social media, the dealernews.com website and weekly e-blasts.
