Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and the host of the automotive advertising resource / networking portal
http://AdAgencyOnline.Net, will be reviewing WomenCertified® on the portal's blog talk radio station -- WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time. Philip will be interviewing the President/C.E.O. of WomenCertified®, Delia Passi, on his Automotive Advertising Experts blog talk radio show scheduled to air on Friday, November 12th., 2010 from 12:00 Noon EST to 12:30 PM EST.
Philip supported claims by WomenCertified® that women hold the keys to the modern marketplace, purchasing over 83% of all consumer products and services. With competition ever increasing, consumers' demands for quality products and services continue to rise, leaving businesses anxious to create a competitive edge by differentiating themselves.
Automotive advertising agencies are capitalizing on the fact that consumers trust The WomenCertified Seal of Approval, indicating that their auto dealer clients are committed to (and held to) a higher quality of overall service that exceeds expectations - both of women and of men (who may be easier to satisfy - but are often less loyal!) With the WomenCertified Seal, auto dealers have a unique opportunity to gain her attention and her trust before she even walks through their door
