Four Great Specials - One Great Store

Published Wednesday, 03 August, 2011 by Chris Dugan. Categories: New Inventory, New Website News.

When is the last time you have seen two - yes two - of the most sought after cars in all the world on one website with significantly slashed pricing? Well I've been around here for a couple years now, and I've never seen it. This doesn't mean that it never happens, but it surely is rare.

For today's blog I'd like to spit out four amazing deals Handy Chevrolet's sales…

New Service Menu Will Provide Quick Information to Customers

Published Saturday, 28 May, 2011 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Service, New Website News.

One thing that I've noticed for quite some time, and something that was confirmed by both Handy Chevrolet's owner and the new Parts & Service Director Bobbi Tatro, is that our service menu is nonexistent. In other words, how do folks like yourself, a potential or repeat customer, know what you need to "order" for service if the information is just shy of nothing? The short answer is of course you cannot, but this…

Handy's Going Mobile Part 2: The iPhone Site

Published Monday, 28 February, 2011 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Technology, New Website News.

Truth be told ladies and gentlemen, those of you who read the first part of this series (Handy's Going Mobile Part 1: Cell Phones) will see very soon that not much is different in terms of actual content. So why, you may ask am I taking the time to jot this blog down? Well here's the big difference: the look and mechanics of it.

As you saw in the screenshots of the cell…

Handy Chevrolet Joins Dealer Rater

Published Monday, 14 February, 2011 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Technology, New Website News.

Over the past couple of years, Handy Chevrolet has been using Dealer Rater as a non-Certified dealer. If you were to log onto Dealer Rater's website and search for Handy Chevrolet, you'd see a big black/blue logo with a cross on it that says NON-CERTIFIED. While I won't touch upon whether or not that's a bit odd to put such a scarlet letter on the site, it surely didn't…

The All-new Handy Chevrolet Facebook Fan Page

Published Friday, 21 January, 2011 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Coming Attractions, New Website News.

Well, I finally did it! I've noticed for some time, as in the last nine months that I've been here, that the Handy Chevrolet fan page on Facebook was hitting between 300 and 310 members. Not bad... not great, but not bad. We'd like to see more, and throughout 2011 I'm sure that the number will increase; but first it will decrease. In fact first it will hit zero.

(Gasp! How…

New Tech, New Ideas

Published Friday, 17 December, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Technology, New Website News.

I was given an excellent treat the other day: a brand new iPhone 4. I had been blogging recently about the iPad that General Manager Dan Luneau wanted me to learn, and learn I did. It turns out with the surprise around the corner, I basically groomed myself towards the new smartphone with its umpteen million possibilities--all of which fit snuggly and quietly in your pocket.

I also described the Bluetooth keyboard that I purchased…

QR Codes Anyone?

Published Tuesday, 14 December, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: New Website News.

Now I probably shouldn't get too giddy without having gone through the proper channels to get a new initiative in motion, but this one I'm determined to see through to completion. Have you seen something like this in a magazine lately:

That is something I created (not the idea--the image itself) that will take you directly to Handy Chevrolet's home page. Now, I know that isn't too impressive since you're on Handy Chevrolet's website and I have all the faith in the world that you could find the home page (if you aren't…

Here Comes Dealer Rater

Published Friday, 10 December, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: New Website News.

I wrote about this a while back, but now the plan is in full motion. A few weeks or more ago I told you all about Dealer Rater-let's go to the basics before I lose any newcomers.

What is Dealer Rater?

Dealer Rater is perhaps one of the single most important aspects of the online dealerships you find across the nation. The website allows customers a very real and very legitimate way to find…

The new content is called the Media Bar, and it gives visitors to our website as well as those of you who view our site frequently a chance to get all of your Handy Chevrolet information from a single source.

Step one was to move the blog onto our own website…
