Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta Magna award winner

It is truly our people that set us apart

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 30, 2010

This week, Audi USA released the list of dealerships to be a part of the acclaimed Magna Society. Tracie Dean, General Manager of Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta was elated to learn that the store has held this distinction for four years running! "I couldn't be more proud of my team," says Dean. "It is truly our people that set us apart."

Audi USA created the Magna Society in order to give recognition to the US Audi dealerships that stand out above and beyond all others. In 2009, only about 20% of the 270 Audi dealerships in the USA were awarded the distinction of being Magna Audi Dealers.

Magna distinction does not simply reflect volume of cars sold by a dealership, or the number of customers who pull into the service lanes; it also includes the highest praise: customer satisfaction indices.

"This is far more than a sales contest," said Reinhard Fischer, Director, Network Management, Audi of America in a 2008 press release from Audi USA. "It is a broad-based measurement of dealers leading the way in firmly establishing that the Audi experience is a superior experience for American luxury car buyers."

The operational efficiency that sets a Magna dealership apart from the rest means that Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta customers experience a seamless and simple process regardless of whether they are purchasing, leasing, or servicing an Audi.

"Tracie and her team have once again earned this prestigious Magna Society Award that recognizes their continued, focused, commitment to excellence in Audi sales, service, and parts. It is great to see all of their efforts rewarded with this recognition," says Jimmy Ellis, Vice President and COO of the Jim Ellis Automotive Group. "I'm very proud of the Jim Ellis Audi Team!"

Loews branded Q7s at an event prior to the hotel's opening day.

We seek every reasonable opportunity to incorporate green standards and practices into all aspects of our business

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 24, 2010

The all-new Loews Atlanta Hotel in Midtown opened in the spring of 2010. The hotel adheres to the Loews Hotels Green Policy to be "committed to being environmentally responsible".

"We seek every reasonable opportunity to incorporate green standards and practices into all aspects of our business," states the corporate policy. With the goal of doing good and doing well at the same time, Loews does several things to reduce their overall footprint.

Standard practices for the hotel group include food donations, reduced linen and towel washing policy (according to guest preference), recycling, water-conserving and energy-saving technologies such as low-flow shower heads and compact fluorescent light bulbs. The hotel restaurants serve and feature local, seasonal fruits and vegetables.

One of Loews Atlanta's ways to "do good and do well" is to use clean diesel TDI vehicles for their customer shuttles. Luxurious Audi Q7s provide the level of luxury and comfort a Loews hotel guest would expect, and with 20 mpg in town and 23 mpg highway burning low-emission clean diesel technology, the Q7 delivers the low environmental impact that the hotel desires.

As the premier Audi dealer in the city of Atlanta, Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta is the perfect partner for the luxury hotel in this endeavor. Because of their clean diesel TDI vehicles, Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta frequently partners with other businesses who show environmental responsibility, including the LEED-certified Philips Arena and the Ovie Mughelli Foundation, which promotes green living.

Of course, Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta's commitment to sustainability extends beyond the TDI cars and SUVs for sale on the lot. The dealership uses energy efficient lighting, in-office waste reduction and recycling programs, as well as green cleaning supplies and energy-saving practices in the store.

"It's not enough to simply say that we care about the environment." Says Tracie Dean, General Manager of Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta, "we also have to do something proactive to help conserve."

Loews Atlanta is a four-diamond luxury hotel featuring 414 in the heart of midtown. With a rich history spanning over six decades, Loews continues to offer ultimate travel experiences in 16 cities across the US and Canada. For more information, please visit the Loews Hotels website.

For Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta, partnering with the Atlanta Thrashers was not just about advertising. It was a very exciting venue for us to partner with the very first LEED Certified arena in the United States.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 09, 2010

In addition to Audi T-shirts and other great prizes, Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta gave away a Clean Diesel Audi A3 TDI at the Atlanta Thrashers game on March 25, 2010.

"For Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta, partnering with the Atlanta Thrashers was not just about advertising," says Tracie Dean, General Manager of Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta. "It was a very exciting venue for us to partner with the very first LEED Certified arena in the United States."

LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" and the standards are specified by the US Green Building council (or USGBC). This certification means that the arena raises the bar for other sporting arenas of its kind in terms of energy efficient lighting, water conservation, recycling and a reduced carbon footprint.

With sponsorships, partnerships and other events, Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta strives to be both a steward for the environment and an active member of the Atlanta area community. "That partnership provided an incredible platform for us to showcase the new Audi TDI Clean Diesel Technology that has catapulted Audi to the top of the list for environmentally conscious car buyers in Atlanta. We truly believe this brand and this product just fit," says Dean.

Brad Miller, the proud winner of the A3 TDI at the Atlanta Thrashers game on March 25th was impressed by the Jim Ellis team's attention following the giveaway. "Everybody at Jim Ellis has been very accommodating and excited for me to experience an Audi for the first time. I was welcomed in to the Audi family by the whole staff there Friday; it was cool. Joey (Morea) called this morning to follow up with me. I appreciate that personal touch. It's rare in business these days."
