DeliveryMaxx Partners with Top Texas BBQ Restaurant providing Digital Solutions

DeliveryMaxx has been very instrumental helping automotive dealerships across the country creating strong social media and online reputation programs.  With their innovative approach and patent pending technology, DeliveryMaxx’s clients quickly experienced increase in sales, customer satisfaction (CSI Scores), and service revenue.  DeliveryMaxx made it very easy for customers to share their experience with all of their friends and family they had when purchasing a new vehicle.

Social media seems to be everywhere these days. Facebook alone has surpassed one billion users, not to mention the 554 million on Twitter and Pinterest becoming the 3rd largest URL in the world. So, if you want your customers to find your website, you need to have a presence on social media. It was only a matter of time before DeliveryMaxx ventured into the food and beverage industry helping with their digital needs.

Randy White’s Hall of Fame BBQ & Grill has chosen DeliveryMaxx to provide a program that combines social media marketing and online reputation management into a strategic digital marketing solution to help continue the famous barbeque restaurant’s growth.

DeliveryMaxx has made it easy to integrate social media with business’s websites, so that online “fans” turn into real-world sales.  “Online reviews can make or break a restaurant business, and with DeliveryMaxx our customers will be able to share how great our barbeque is with ease” says, Tracy Hutchins, Owner & Operator of Randy White’s Hall of Fame BBQ.

The next step was to partner with a restaurant that had a great story to tell.  “Hutchins Barbeque has been personal favorite of mine for a long time, and their business is the type of business any community would be proud to support” states, CEO & Co-Founder of DeliveryMaxx, Josh Deaton.  We are fortunate to show how the DeliveryMaxx program will integrate seamlessly with Randy White’s Hall of Fame BBQ.  Tracy Hutchins and his wife Nicole have carried on Mr. Hutchins famous recipe and house it under one of the most famous Dallas Cowboys defensive players of all-time name.  This is a great locally owned restaurant, with a huge marquee name attached to it” adds, James Schaefer, COO  & Co-Founder of DeliveryMaxx.  

In 1978 Roy Hutchins opened a 900 square foot roadside smokehouse on HWY 380 in Princeton, Texas near McKinney. It was called Roy’s Smokehouse. With Roy and his wife’s hard work and passion for making great BBQ they were able to make a great name for themselves in the McKinney area.

In 1991 the demand for Roy’s BBQ was growing rapidly and they were able to expand into a much larger space in McKinney.  What also grew in the Hutchins household were 3 sons who were ready to carry on the family tradition of delivering great BBQ to hungry Texans that came to the restaurant.  Next thing you know there was another restaurant that opened under the name of Hutchins BBQ and Catfish. This move proved once again that Hutchins BBQ was making a great name for itself.

The next Hutchins BBQ opened in Frisco Texas in 1994. Little did they know but a frequent customer over the years Hall of fame Dallas Cowboy Randy White loved their BBQ so much that he not only became great friends of the family but in 2001 he agreed to let the Hutchins change the name to Randy White’s (Hall of Fame BBQ) since then the BBQ continues to get better and the business continues to grow.  Tracy and Nicole Hutchins continue to own and operate the Frisco location with marketing consultation form Randy White at the corner of Preston and Main. Randy along with several other past and present Dallas Cowboys continue to come in on a daily basis, visit with customers, and enjoy great BBQ. 

Randy played for the Dallas Cowboys his entire professional football career. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania and played college football for the University of Maryland.

Randy White won the Outland Trophy, Lombardi Award, ACC player of the year and All American College Awards (1974).  He was the number 1 draft pick in 1975 and was chosen by the Dallas Cowboys to play Defensive Tackle.  In 14 seasons he only missed one game.  White was a 9 time Pro Bowl Selection, 8 time All-Pro, Co-MVP of Super Bowl XII, 1978 NFC Defensive Player of the Year,  and 1982 NFL Defensive Lineman of the Year.  His Dallas Cowboys teams won a Super Bowl Trophy (XII), 3 NFC Titles, and 5 Divisional Titles.  In 1994, White was inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  He is considered one of the greatest defensive players ever to step on a football field.

Randy White’s Hall of Fame BBQ & Grill is located at 9225 Preston Rd in Frisco, Texas just north of Dallas, Texas.  They serve the best Texas Barbeque Sunday thru Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM and 11 AM to 10 PM on Friday and Saturdays.  For more information on catering and special events information can be found by calling 972.377.0540 or http://www.randywhitesbbq.com.

St. Jude’s Casino Night by AutoTrader Sponsored by DeliveryMaxx

DeliveryMaxx has teamed up with AutoTrader to help St. Jude’s Charity Season.

St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly.


St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the world’s premier pediatric cancer research centers. Its mission is to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

About 7,800 active patients are seen at St. Jude yearly, most of who are treated on a continuing outpatient basis as part of ongoing research programs. The hospital also has 78 beds for patients requiring hospitalization during treatment. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world.

Patients at St. Jude are referred by a physician, and nearly all have a disease currently under study and are eligible for a research protocol. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay.

Josh Deaton, CEO and Co-Founder of DeliveryMaxx will be a featured speaker at the September event which featured representation from over 100 automotive dealerships.  “DeliveryMaxx is proud to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and hopefully is able to be a small part of saving children’s lives” says Deaton.

DeliveryMaxx Launches Social Media and Online Reputation Mobile App

Social Media Marketing and Online Reputation Management are two of the most important pieces when it comes to companies trying to sell services or products on the web.

Four years ago, Josh Deaton and James Schaefer formed a company that they envisioned would change the way businesses would brand, sell, and communicate on the web.  They started out helping the automotive industry and soon expanded their client network to include hotels, employment agencies, non-profits, CPAs, oil and gas businesses.  Mr. Deaton had served in many capacities helping run some of the largest automotive companies in the United States while Mr. Schaefer was a well experienced senior executive in marketing and advertising.

Together they formed DeliveryMaxx which is one of the fastest growing Digital Media companies in the country.  “It is not about how large our company is becoming; but rather about the service we are able to deliver.  DeliveryMaxx is truly social media’s answer to customer engagement and online reputation management.” States Josh Deaton, CEO and co-Founder of DeliveryMaxx.  DeliveryMaxx has truly created something special.

During Deaton’s time in the automotive industry; he noticed a lack of companies that engaged potential customers.  All of the social media companies promoted the same thing.  “They (Social Media Companies) would all have the same story.  We can advertise you or tell you when you have a bad review.  However, there was no real work or innovation on their part.  It was all done by the press of a button” explains Deaton.

DeliveryMaxx is a Cinderella story.  Financed by both Deaton and COO & co-Founder, James Schaefer; DeliveryMaxx has fast become the talk of the digital world.  “We have created patent-pending technology that actually provides opportunities for customers to share their experiences with future potential customers.  We do this utilizing Social Media Marketing and Online Reputation working together to produce these measurable results” states Schaefer.  Other companies have tried to mimic DeliveryMaxx, but fall short of the mark because they do not have real people doing real work for their clients.  “Those companies are all automated, and fail to use simple business practices that make sense for their clients” says Schaefer.

After a 60 day beta testing in current clients; DeliveryMaxx is launching the first Mobile App of its kind allowing their clients customers to share their experience with the world immediately.  The phone app is compatible with iOS, Android, and soon the Windows phones.  In addition to the phone app; DeliveryMaxx also includes an Online Review program that helps customers give reviews to all of the major social media sites.  “Not only do we build great original content for dealerships, help them obtain online reviews; but we also monitor the review sites and help respond.  This has worked very well for our automotive dealerships, but we are finding that almost any company who depends on online reviews is able to utilize our services” comments Deaton.

The app can be downloaded by anyone, but will only be able to be utilized by DeliveryMaxx customers.

“DeliveryMaxx was created methodically filling in all of the gaps that dealerships were unable, or did not know how to fill to complete the circle of attracting a new customer, providing great service or products, and having them share their experience immediately with friends and family” explains James Schaefer, thus providing automotive dealerships and other organizations with a unique ability to increase CSI Scores, Sales, Customer Loyalty, Service Revenue, Online Reputation, Search Engine Optimization, and Branding.

DeliveryMaxx is a privately held company providing social media marketing, web-based solutions, customer retention, and other advertising services and is based in Rockwall, Texas.  DeliveryMaxx is the preferred provider for companies needing to improve web presence, online reputation, customer satisfaction, sales, and innovative strategies that enables them to confidently deploy their mission-critical products and services in today’s competitive environment for market share.  

Clients of DeliveryMaxx include automotive dealerships, hotels, surgeons, insurance agencies, marketing agencies, educational institutes, non-profits, sports teams, attorneys, employment agencies, and politicians.

Knight Industrial Services steps up effort to help Save Employees Brother with Leukemia

“Dallas is good as gold, and it was a no brainer to help.  He is part of Knight’s family and that means his family is too” states Joe Briscoe, Knight Industrial Services General Manager.

Abrasive blasting, below grade services, fireproofing, scaffolding, and bio blasting cleaning doesn’t sound like jobs where your employees would have a lot of compassion.  As a matter of fact, Knight Industrial Services is a 3 decade plus old company with some of the toughest professionals in the industry.  However, when 18 month special Equipment Technician, Dallas Ivey approached longtime General Manager, Joe Briscoe about his brothers plight- these guys put effort into a great cause.

Pictured: Dallas Ivey and his colleagues hanging out on the job site.  Dallas is the one with the backwards hat 3rd person from the left.

You see, Dallas’ brother Matt Ivey was just diagnosed with NDS a form of bone cancer.  Cancer-induced bone disease is a characteristic feature of several types of cancer, including the hematological malignancy multiple myeloma, and other tumors that metastasise to bone such as breast, prostate and lung. In addition to the development of debilitating skeletal complications, the bone marrow provides a unique hospitable microenvironment, and once tumors become established in bone, they are largely unresponsive to treatment.

Matt Ivey

This diagnosis sounds pretty bad, but if you knew the fight that Knight Industrial Services has- you would know that quitting is not an option.  “Matt is 41 years old, and has two teenage children; one who just graduated high school.  He is getting married this Saturday and has no plans to go anywhere but back with his family” says an emphatic Dallas Ivey.  Matt was a volunteer fireman in Madison, Texas and had a job with Nabors Drilling with their corporate services team located in Houston, Texas and can be reached at 281.874.0035.

That’s right.  He had a job with Nabors Drilling, but not anymore.  The doctors are making an aggressive effort to save Matts life by ordering him into Chemotherapy and putting his name on the Bone Marrow Transplant list.  If the news for Matt couldn’t get any worse; it did when the doctors said that Matt would have to stop working while in treatment.  Nabors decided to let Matt go which means he loses his insurance and Cobra is too expensive for Matt to afford.

Therefore, Dallas and his family organized selling chop beef briquette sandwiches, chips, and a drink for $5 each.  They will be serving these sandwiches hoping to raise money for Matt’s mounting medical expenses as well as insurance cost.  The event will take place Saturday, June 22, 2013 and held at the Madisonville Volunteer Fire Department on Main Street located at 1617 E. Main Street, Madisonville, Texas where Matt had served as a volunteer fireman.

“It really means a lot that Knight Industrial Services stepped up in helping with donations for my brother.  It was a lot more than what his own company did for him” adds Dallas.

Wells Fargo has set up an account in Matt Ivey’s name if you would like to help with donations.  You can also email Dallas Ivey for more information at divey@knightis.com.  If you are near Madisonville, stop by and eat a chop beef sandwich for a good cause.

DeliveryMaxx partners with Carpe Diem Private Preschool to Educate the World

“Not only is Carpe Diem Private Preschool a great story, so is their CEO and Founder, Ashley Murphree.  I am excited to partner with such an exceptional leader in early childhood education”- James Schaefer, COO of DeliveryMaxx 

Every day is an opportunity to nurture the mind, develop the body, and strengthen the spirit. At Carpe Diem, every facet the preschool - from their degreed educators and inspired array of programs, to their secure, state-of-the-art facility - is designed to provide children with an enriching experience and a strong foundation for learning and individual development.  Carpe Diem Private Preschool is truly building the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

When Ashley Murphree, CEO and Founder of Carpe Diem Private Preschool planned to have children of her own, she did extensive research and wasn’t pleased with the available options for childcare.  At that point, she decided to open her own preschool, which would offer the very best staff, facilities, and curriculum based on the most current research on developmentally appropriate learning and practices for young children.  She also wanted to change the widely held view of childcare givers as undervalued employees to that of professional teachers, by valuing their expertise and providing corporate benefits to her staff.

The result is Carpe Diem Private Preschool, an American dream come true. Carpe Diem Richardson opened in 2001, Frisco in 2005, Allen in 2009, and Southlake in 2010.  Mrs. Murphree plans to continue to expand, which will provide more children and families access to Carpe Diem’s exceptional and exemplary approach to early childhood education and care.

Now the story could end right there, but it doesn’t.  Mrs. Murphree shares a wealth of knowledge to her business, employees, communities, and the children she educates and cares for.

Ashley’s amazing journey actually begins in 1979 in Saigon during the Vietnam War when she and her family escaped Vietnam huddled in the bottom of a small, wooden boat.  It was an arduous ordeal, but they survived; and eventually, they found their way to the Dallas area in 1980 and settled in Garland, Texas.  With a strong work ethic and a great deal of determination, Ashley put herself through college at the University of Texas at Arlington, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration.  She worked for several years as a Human Resource professional before completely dedicating her time to building Carpe Diem Private Preschool into a leading early childhood educational program.

In her spare time, Ashley has given many motivational talks to community groups focusing on women in the workforce, leadership skills, and the importance of education at every age level.  Region 10 and the Richardson Junior League named Ashley as one of its “Sheroes,” who are young women who have succeeded despite the odds by improving themselves through education.  These women’s stories serve as an inspiration to others.

Ashley’s amazing personal and business story has also been the subject of many articles in the Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Business Journal, which awarded her the 2012 Minority Business Leader, University of Texas at Arlington Magazine, which named her an “Entrepreneur Extraordinaire.”  National media, such as Entrepreneur Magazine listed her on their “Hot List” and The New York Times, have also featured Ashley’s business savvy.

After careful consideration, Carpe Diem Private Preschool has chosen to partner with DeliveryMaxx charging them with providing digital solutions that will help spread Mrs. Murphree’s educational programs and opportunities throughout the world wide web.  DeliveryMaxx will be charged with providing Carpe Diem Private Preschool with a strong social media marketing program and online reputation management services.

“Not only is Carpe Diem Private Preschool a great story, so is their CEO and Founder, Ashley Murphree.  I am excited to partner with such an exceptional leader in early childhood education” states, James Schaefer; DeliveryMaxx’s Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder.  “Ashley is such an amazing person and that resonates throughout Carpe Diem making it one of the most sought out private preschools in North Texas.”

Southwest KIA Dealership Group Recognized by Automotive News

Automotive News has long been the primary source of industry news, data and understanding for the industry’s decision-makers interest in North America.  Since 1925 when the newspaper was founded; Automotive News found new ways to provide information and value to meet the changing needs of its readers.

In May, Automotive News held a roundtable event in Dallas, Texas in hopes that ideas provided by participants would improve automotive dealerships employee morale, revenue stream, and savings thus increasing the bottom line.  With today’s consumer having a plethora of choices of where to buy their next vehicle, dealerships are always looking for ways to gain additional market share by attracting new customers.  The automotive consumer has changed the way they find their new car, truck, or suv.  With the inception of the internet, car research and buying can take place 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  “The consumer knows exactly what kind of vehicle they want for the price they want to pay” says, Steve Dodge, General Manager of Southwest KIA Rockwall.  “Nowadays, a buyer will know just about everything there is to know about the dealership including the salespeople who are employed before they arrive on the dealership floor.”  The average consumer is doing all of the research on the internet and statistics show they are visiting 1.3 dealerships versus shopping 4.6 dealerships in years past.  Dodge also adds, “Not only is the consumer using the internet to select a great dealership to buy from, but they are also using the internet to deselect dealerships that don’t look appealing.”

The roundtable session provided attendees with great ideas they would be able to implement at each of their dealerships.  Some of these ideas included hiring non-commission sales people to lessen the negotiation pressure consumers have long been accustom to when making a new vehicle purchase to the recruiting of college graduates erasing the image of the “used-car salesman” perception.

Southwest KIA Dealership Group with locations in Mesquite, Rockwall, and Dallas created the most excitement at the conference by presenting an idea they have been utilizing with outstanding success for the past couple of years provided by a company named DeliveryMaxx.  “Utilizing DeliveryMaxx services has allowed us to create a forum for our customers to share their great experiences on the web.  Our CSI scores, sales, service, and online reviews have increased dramatically with this program” exclaims James Seale, General Manager of Southwest KIA Mesquite.  “They are like three companies in one because they provide a way for our customers to share their great experiences with the world through a custom review portal that we control at the dealership.  DeliveryMaxx helps us market to potential customers by taking a picture at the time of delivery, and then embeds code and our dealership branding pushing this advertising to all of the friends and family of the customer who just bought a new vehicle.  Because of this, our referrals and online reputation have gone up allowing us to sell more cars.”  With DeliveryMaxx and Southwest KIA’s “Customer First” mentality; the dealership has had unprecedented growth and received numerous awards and recognition for their customer service. 

The Southwest KIA Dealerships continue to stay ahead of their counterparts utilizing new and innovative tools to make their customers feel welcomed.  They have long held the belief that a happy customer becomes a customer for life.  “Decisions on buying a vehicle is no longer about price, but about how much the dealership cares for its customers.  People will share their experience, and utilizing DeliveryMaxx’s program, our customers have helped us win additional buyers.”  For Southwest KIA Dealerships contribution to the roundtable discussion they were awarded recognition for one of the “Best New Ideas” of the session.

“We are honored and very excited that Southwest KIA has been recognized for their contributions to the automotive industry.  Because of their desire to be the dealership of choice; they have been very instrumental in our development of new technology.  James and Steve both suggested that they would love to have their reviews with pictures scrolling across their website.  We just took that idea a little further, and made it possible providing code that they could target market a particular vehicle to customers disseminating the reviews by make and model.  DeliveryMaxx is also about to launch our new smartphone app within 30 days that will allow online reviews and social media marketing happen within minutes of the customer purchasing a vehicle versus 24 hours from the time they made a purchase” explains James Schaefer, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of DeliveryMaxx.

In addition to collecting reviews, marketing great experiences of happy customers; DeliveryMaxx also writes unlimited blogs, post special events, and participates in event marketing with the North Texas dealerships.

The Matetich's take an active role every day building strong relationships between their customers and Jupiter Chevrolet.  As a family business, Jupiter Chevrolet understands how important family is, and they also consider all of their very satisfied customers’ part of the family.  The customer comes first and they implement that attitude throughout the entire new vehicle and pre-owned vehicle ownership.

Can Facebook & Social Media Help GM Sell More Vehicles

On May 22, 2012 I wrote a blog asking the public if GM made a wise choice dropping its 10 million dollar advertising spend from Facebook.  (For the entire blog visit: http://deliverymaxx.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/did-gm-make-a-wise-decision-dropping-facebook-as-an-advertising-medium/ )  My position then as it is now is that GM and many automotive dealerships are not utilizing Social Media Marketing correctly in particular Facebook.

In my youth, I lived in a small country town in Texas for a few years.  Often, I would hear the expression, “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig…”Decisions regarding advertising by GM look like they are changing, but marketing strategy looks to be the same when you wipe away the “lipstick”.

Often, I quote Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity which is “doing the same action continuously and expecting different results.”

Companies have two schools of thought as to whether it’s worth the investment for paid advertising on Facebook or bypass it and continue using their business fan page which doesn’t cost anything to use instead.  This blog is not entertaining this debate; it is stating that to take part in this particular debate would be the wrong battle to fight altogether.

Advertising 101 says that the more eyes that view your product will give you the exposure to help you sell your product.  It is a law of numbers.  Marketing 101 tells us that the best message that resonates with your audience will help you sell more of your product.  When GM spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in their next advertising & marketing retreat developing the direction of their message, I can’t help to think about how the answer is right in front of their nose.

Advertising 101

Let’s discuss Advertising 101 first.  The more eyes that view your product will give you the exposure to help you sell your product.  Taking this principle to the core- Facebook has over 900 million active users.  Facebook is the world’s largest URL.  Facebook has captured over 75% of Social Media Users.  Your read this correctly.  FACEBOOK is NOT the ONLY GAME in TOWN!  Business must utilize Social Networking sites to market to their potential consumers.  GM needs to develop a strategy that encompasses all of the market.  Most companies try a shot gun approach without truly diving into the analytics of consumer behavior within the confines of Social Networking Sites.  Web 2.0 will allow companies to create a strategy that will weave throughout the web to reach your desired audience.  The key is to create a net large enough that will reach all of your potential consumers.

Marketing 101

Now for the Marketing 101 discussion, I am not going to pretend to have all of the answers for every company’s needed message that they should deliver to the audience.  However, I will stick to the basics.  If a company has a good product or service, a fair price, and exceptional customer care then their brand and reputation will fly through the air like a Michigan cold front in October. The consumer will be the companies best (or worst if one of the three business principles are not met) marketer.

Business 101

Assuming a company has a good product or service, fair price, and exceptional customer care it is necessary to combined Advertising and Marketing like peanut butter and jelly into a strategy that will create the unique taste the consumer is looking for.  Companies need to look at creating a forum (see advertising 101) for their consumer (see marketing 101) to share the benefits and advantages of their product or service.

Results

Key results for automotive dealerships (but you can replace automotive dealerships with any type of company) include strong CSI scores, increased sales, repeat business, more referrals, additional fixed operation revenue, domination of the web or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) value, published positive online reviews or strong Online Reputation Management (ORM), and overall exceptional Customer Loyalty and Retention.  It is about the emotion of the sale isn’t it?  Why not take advantage of what you do the best, and have your customers work to help you sell more vehicles (or product).
