Internet auto sales and marketing firm Outsell, announces a 32% quarter over quarter growth rate in Dealer eNewsletter clients for the second quarter of 2008.

Minneapolis, MN, July 15, 2008 - www.outsell.com - Outsell, the fastest-growing automotive Internet sales and marketing firm in America, has announced a quarterly growth of 32% in the number of dealers utilizing Outsell's Dealer eNewsletter service to engage customers and prospects and drive them to their showroom floors and service bays.

"The rapid adoption of our Dealer eNewsletter service was driven by major upgrades to the eNewsletters Outsell provides its clients," said Mike Wethington, CEO of Outsell. "The new look and feel of the Outsell Dealer eNewsletters, not to mention their upgraded functionality and reporting, stands head-and-shoulders over any other comparable service in the automotive market- choosing them is a no-brainer for dealerships looking to increase their sales and service revenues every month."

In the 2nd quarter, Outsell also completed and published the results of a new customer satisfaction study focusing on the effectiveness of Live Chat on consumers in the automotive market segment. The study revealed that Outsell's Live Chat programs continue to play a crucial role in driving sales and customer satisfaction. 85.4% of users gave the online chat service an "A" or "B" grade when asked about their satisfaction with the channel -- This compares with 31.9% for phone and 40.1% for email. 80.5% said they plan on visiting that specific dealership following their live chat experience, and when asked on a scale of 0-100, to what extent the Live Chat interaction positively affected their decision to use the dealership for Sales, Service or Parts, the average user response was 77.56 out of 100.

"As competition in the market increases, especially with consumer spending down, demand for inexpensive and useful features like Live Chat get a big boost- they enhance the popularity of the dealership and increase sales and fixed operations revenues," said Bart Greenwood, COO of Outsell. "Outsell's Live Chat leads are currently the 2nd highest closing lead source in the automotive industry- that's a tough proposition to beat, especially with the market in the state it is today. "
