MTS.net will provide outsourced marketing support car dealerships, motor manufacturers as well as motorcycle dealers, van and truck suppliers and to new and growing businesses in this sector.

The company has been set up as the result of the increasing Motor Industry business that Studio808 had been attracting. James Thomas and Greg Bottle decided to create MTS.net as a division that was completely focused on the needs of the Motor Industry and then allow Studio808 concentrate on its other ventures and core products.

The team comprises strategists and marketing professionals complemented by creative designers, web developers and copywriters.

Also joining the team is Fraser Morrison as Head of Business Development and is a partner in the Studio808 business. An auto industry professional who has in the last 5 years been at the leading edge of internet car retailing. Fraser has led projects in private and Plc businesses to develop web operations and set up internet sales departments for both the retail and corporate sectors.

MTS.net’s outsourced marketing solutions have been designed for companies that don’t have an in-house team; lack the necessary skills internally; have staffing restrictions; or require temporary support for ad-hoc projects.

Fraser is “looking forward to launching some of our new products including a dedicated parts and accessories website with eCommerce facility, a standalone stocklisting web facility for dealers wishing to expand their coverage or even to advertise non-franchise stock and our highly powerful email marketing facility.”

He added, “With this kind of expertise MTS.net will be able to provide an outsourced marketing department for companies that don’t have one, or extra support for those that do.”

As the name suggests motortradesolutions.net won’t only be providing marketing services to the automotive industry. The company's slogan is Dedicated To Helping You Succeed and the belief is such that MTS.net can bring real benefits to all areas of the business. Fraser has gathered a team of industry professionals who can help in a variety of areas on an outsourced basis.

“Our research has found that in light of recent economic events many businesses scaled down their staffing to such a point that they are now exposed or now lack the people with the necessary skills. We have industry experts who are available on a pay-as-you-go basis to assist in key areas such as Customer Relationship Management, FSA Compliance, Health & Safety, Marketing and many types of Training. Coupled with this we have the facility to provide services as extreme as contract valeting, video mystery shopping, pest control, office cleaning and market research. We are even about to launch an aftersales upsell programme that can add significant profits without any further investment or overhead. So as the list is beginning to grow we are now a one-stop-shop.”
