Briggs Kia Announces that Kia Forte Koups Make California Racing Debut

Topeka, KS (PRWEB) August 17, 2011

The sales professionals at Briggs Kia - the leading Topeka, KS Kia dealer - are impressed by how well Kia Racing is doing in 2011, and they know that everything learned at the track eventually makes it way back to production cars that people love.

After Kia Racing's second GRAND-AM victory of the year at Road America in June, the Infinity Audio Kia Forte Koups recently returned to the track in Kia Motors America's (KMA) home state of California for the eighth round of the 2011 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC) season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

The 2.24-mile, 11-turn road course with elevation changes and sweeping high-speed turns should make for an exciting race and play to the Forte Koup's strengths.

"Our second win of the season has given the entire Kia family cause for celebration, but we still have three races left to go this season," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing & communications, KMA.

"A big group of KMA team members and Kia dealers from throughout the San Francisco Bay Area are looking forward to welcoming the team to California, and after the success at Road America we are confident that the Forte Koups' outstanding handling and braking characteristics will match up well with Laguna Seca's challenging layout."

Co-drivers of the No. 12 Forte Koup ? Adam Burrows and Trevor Hopwood ? celebrated their 50th race start as a team this weekend hoping to improve upon their sixth-place finish at Road America.

The recent Road America victory propelled Kia's second-year motorsports program and racing partner Kinetic Motorsports to the top of the ST team and driver standings. In addition, the team's outstanding performance at Road America moved Kia to the third position in the ST engine manufacturer standings.

Kia Motors America (KMA) is the marketing and distribution arm of Kia Motors Corporation based in Seoul, South Korea. KMA offers a complete line of vehicles through more than 730 dealers throughout the United States and serves as the "Official Automotive Partner of the NBA."

Locals who are interested in any of the great new Kia models for 2011 or beyond are encouraged to stop by Briggs Kia. They are the premiere Kia dealership in Topeka, Kansas and surrounding communities. Their sales team can answer any questions consumers have about any of the great Kia models they have available for sale. They can even schedule a test drive so consumers can test out the Kia vehicles for themselves.

California Mortgage Brokers Conference to Focus on Role of Social Networking in Marketing

Garden Grove, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 06, 2011

San Francisco real estate agent and Victorian home specialist Bonnie Spindler will speak at the California Mortgage Bankers Association (CMBA) Second Annual Sales and Marketing Conference on April 7 in Garden Grove, California. Spindler will discuss the shift in marketing away from traditional print media to online communications.

?Due to advances in technology, all the growth in marketing is now online, especially through social media sites,? said Spindler, the San Francisco Victorian house specialist. ?What?s amazing to me is how easy and inexpensive it is after the initial set-up.?

According to Spindler, prospective clients can find most businesses online by name, but there are plenty of other ways to increase web presence over the Internet. The more active a person is online, the more exposure?and the easier their ?findability?. Conversely, inactivity can equate to invisibility.

Professionals can publish press releases online through services like PRWeb.com, publish articles online through services like EzineArticles.com, submit articles to niche websites like Home Buying Institute, blog on a regular basis, and participate in forums.

?Think of each action you take online as an investment in future visibility,? said Spindler. ?The more investments you make, the more visible you will be to your target audience.?
