 The social media mystery? 
&#160;
 I&#8217;m going to use a very worn out phrase:  &#8220;Social Media&#8221;.
&#160;
 It seems everyone knows how important it is, but how do you really make it work for your business?

<p style="margin: 0px"> <font size="4"><strong>The social media mystery? </strong></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> I&#8217;m going to use a very worn out phrase:  &#8220;Social Media&#8221;.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> It seems everyone knows how important it is, but how do you really make it work for your business?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Nearly 5 years ago, when we created The DDD Directory, I was faced with a challenge:  Build a network, create web traffic, connect with the<br />
aftermarket, make ads that perform, and provide solutions for automotive businesses.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> A huge part of this growing process has been search engine optimization and, of course, social media.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> My personal favorite social networking sites are Facebook and Twitter, both of which you and your business can benefit from tremendously at no cost.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> <font size="4"><strong>How to make facebook work for your business right now</strong></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Facebook is personal BEFORE business.  In other words, it is probably the best type of social media because the initial connection is always<br />
personal.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Your friends &amp; family can &#8220;connect&#8221; to you and you can share pictures, comments,  and collaborate in a secure environment that invites others<br />
into your network.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> People often wonder:  &#8220;How does this tie in with <u>business</u> if it&#8217;s so personal and secure?&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Facebook has developed a very clever, unimposing way to help companies market themselves.  Facebook users can &#8220;become a fan&#8221; of their favorite<br />
brands, or can learn about new brands based on their friend&#8217;s favorite brands.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Businesses don&#8217;t send you direct messages unless you ASK for them, but you are still exposed to new brands according to what your peers choose as<br />
favorites.  It&#8217;s an ingenious, fun, addicting social model.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Facebook can help you make many buying choices and save you a good amount of money on nearly anything.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> For example, JC Flugger (from Flowmaster) became a fan of a website called &#8220;<a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2171400749/1979330/73218937/goto:http://www.geeks.com" target="_blank"><br />
</a> &gt;Geeks.com&#8221;, a bargain electronics store.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> I was notified of this in my facebook &#8220;live feed&#8221; because JC and I are connected on facebook.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Since then, I&#8217;ve made several purchases from geeks.com, including a backup drive, wireless router, mouse, printer, USB hub and several<br />
adapters.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> In addition to this, I also chose to &#8220;become a fan&#8221; of geeks.com on facebook, so my network can learn about their bargain website and so I can learn<br />
about their latest specials.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Facebook saves me money every day and I learn about new businesses in my own niche every day.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> This applies to ANY business.  It&#8217;s like watching TV and literally choosing which brands are in the commercials!</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> <font size="4"><strong>Take action and get your business on facebook!<br />
</strong></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> First, create your own personal facebook page at <a href="http://e2ma.net/go/2171400749/1979330/73218938/goto:http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">www.facebook.com</a></p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Create your profile, find some friends and connect with them.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> <u>After</u> you&#8217;ve done that, go to the facebook business sector, which is called &#8220;facebook pages&#8221;<br />
href=&#8221;http://e2ma.net/go/2171400749/1979330/73218939/goto:http://www.facebook.com/advertising/?pages&#8221;  target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; &gt;located here.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Create your business facebook profile, link it to your personal account, then alert your friends and ask them to become a fan of your business.<br />
The networking begins!</p>
<p style="margin: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Facebook Connect allows you to have a page for your business where you can attach your media, videos, information and where you can make<br />
announcements to all of your fans.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> When a person becomes a fan of your business, all of their &#8220;friends&#8221; will know about it and can also choose to become a fan.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px"> Even if they do not become a fan, they will be exposed to your brand and it costs you nothing!</p>

</a></p>
<p>A New TV Show is coming:  HOT ROD CONCEPTS!</p>
<p>A K2 PRODUCTION</p>
<p>OBJECTIVE:</p>
<p>Hot Rod Concepts, a licensed enterprise, provides specialized client-sponsored custom car builds<br />
for the purpose of increasing corporate brand exposure and awareness. Through the vital and<br />
burgeoning televised automotive industry channel category and a detailed marketing plan, Hot<br />
Rod Concepts effectively showcases a finished product through both a nationwide media<br />
relations program plus the most elite leading industry trade shows.</p>
<p>Hot Rod Concepts (HRC), in conjunction with K2 Productions, is currently in the pre-production<br />
stage for the new reality TV show of the same name with filming set to commence in late April<br />
2009. In addition to the televised programming, Hot Rod Concepts has laid the groundwork for<br />
an extensive run of media/public relations in all print and online media outlet categories which<br />
will follow the build from concept to completion —and everything in between. Every build will<br />
have coverage not only on the show, but through the use of pictorial and video web updates and<br />
blogs as well as constant involvement by the newspaper, local network news, and car culture-<br />
based magazine media.</p>
<p>It is our goal to partner with businesses ready to enjoy a new level of recognition through a<br />
popular venue in a proven market. We are confident that a partnership between HRC and your<br />
distinguished company will provide a perfect opportunity to promote your brand and products to<br />
a prolific consumer base.</p>
<p>Please peruse this proposal and submit your offers as soon as possible. Filming begins this<br />
month!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Rodney O. Waters</p>
<p>Owner</p>
<p>WHAT SETS HOT ROD CONCEPTS APART FROM THE OTHERS:</p>
<p>Capitalizing on the popularity of the worldwide custom build automotive aftermarket, Hot Rod<br />
Concepts seeks to duplicate and surpass the success of the well-known program “Orange County<br />
Choppers”, but that is where the similarity ends. Unlike this established aftermarket build<br />
marketing model, the end of the show is not the end of the road. Hot Rod Concepts takes the<br />
client and viewers to the next level with an intensive marketing blitz&#8211;which in reality, means that<br />
the end of the build is only the beginning of a lengthy brand awareness campaign.</p>
<p>As a sponsor of HRC, a company’s brand, logos and message can be prominently featured<br />
throughout the television and internet coverage of the vehicle build through banner and logo<br />
placement as well as potential product usage. Hot Rod Concepts both proposes and encourages<br />
our client representative to be available for a potential appearance in a select episode and at<br />
least one of the promotional tour locations to discuss and promote their product attributes and<br />
enhancing brand notoriety and awareness.</p>
<p>Print coverage through media/public relations of each vehicle build will be captured by some of<br />
the leading publications nationwide such as Buckaroo, Amos, and Source Interlink. HRC will make<br />
a full effort working with the editor and photographer to make sure banner placements are<br />
captured or show sponsors are mentioned.</p>
<p>Online coverage of the build will be simultaneous to each episode airing. Key destinations for<br />
this progression will be showcased on social networking sites and constant Twitter feeds. Banner<br />
placement and links on all HRC digital networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, etc&#8230;) are available<br />
and encouraged.</p>
<p>The promotional tour will consist of dazzling displays at major automotive trade shows featuring<br />
the highest available exposure in key demographics across the United States. HRC would like to<br />
work with their major sponsors to feature or possibly unveil a finished vehicle in the company’s<br />
booth. Trade shows include SEMA, PRI, NSRA, GOODGUYS, AUTORAMA, and more.</p>
<p>The remainder of this proposal will introduce you to the establishment<br />
of Hot Rod Concepts; the exemplary experts who make up our cast<br />
and crew and a detailed look at the amount of ongoing exposure and<br />
impressions your brand could receive.</p>
<p>Let’s meet the team of talented individuals that make it happen.</p>

<p>Claims to Fame:</p>

<p>TELEVISION NETWORK PROPOSAL:</p>
<p>HRC is currently in pre-production and is set to begin filming in late April 2009. Over 75% of the<br />
filming will be on location at the HRC shop in Harrisburg, NC, just 3 miles from one of the most<br />
popular NASCAR race tracks: LOWES Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.</p>
<p>HOT ROD CONCEPTS is NOT your average &#8220;how to&#8221; or custom vehicle build TV<br />
show!</p>
<p>K2 Productions is the onsite film development crew that will put the shop experience (and some<br />
daily life clips) of Waters, Santiago, Johnston, and Williams on camera to capture first hand in HD<br />
every aspect of the HRC&#8217;s design, fabrication, arguing, yelling and hopefully finishing touches on<br />
each sponsored hot rod build, but that’s not all! Cameras will also follow the HRC crew outside of<br />
the HRC shop, giving viewers a front row seat into the mischief and mayhem the HRC team<br />
creates and the drama that ensues in their lives outside the shop!</p>
<p>HRC plans to reveal dealings with local law enforcement, strapping one of our men into a 700hp<br />
race car on a NASCAR Speedway or taking a front row seat experience in a Blue Angels Fighter<br />
Jet for a screaming good time&#8230; the HRC guys will travel the country visiting the largest<br />
automotive shows while spreading their knack for finding the coolest things to do as well as the<br />
trouble that results from doing them! The entertainment factor will weigh as heavily as the<br />
artwork they create in the custom car builds.</p>
<p>The pitch from HRC is an “inside-outside” look at a corporate sponsored custom car build. In<br />
essence, a company’s brand (logo) is featured and showcased throughout the interior and<br />
exterior of the vehicles as well as the personalities of the on-air talent. It’s not just another “hot<br />
rod” show, but rather an in-depth look at quality craftsmanship brought to life under the auspices<br />
of increased brand awareness.</p>
<p>Every episode your company desires to sponsor will be designed to acknowledge your brand<br />
through banner placement and/or product usage or placement. Every possible effort will be<br />
made to showcase your product and/or services through video, signage, logos, decals and<br />
calculated product placement on the set, including the cast’s apparel.</p>
<p>Furthermore and as noted previously, Hot Rod Concepts proposes a spokesperson of your brand<br />
appear as a guest on a select episode to promote your brand. This can easily be done at a tour<br />
stop if unable to visit the HRC facility. Your representative will be able to deliver key talking<br />
points and demonstration of product/brand on camera in order to maximize this phenomenal<br />
(and very limited) sponsorship opportunity.</p>
<p>Just the Facts…<br />
Demographically speaking, the show targets all those of driving age—from 15 to 80 years of age.<br />
Most are male, ranging from Caucasian, Latino, African-American, Porto Rican, Asian and the all-<br />
inclusive melting pot of America. Hot markets include largely populated areas with a large<br />
automotive industry base such as New York City, the entire NASCAR-friendly South, the Motor<br />
City area of Detroit; and the custom car and low-rider hot rod capital areas of southwest in<br />
Southern California, Arizona, Colorado and Las Vegas, not to exclude the best loved mid-west car<br />
show areas like St. Louis, Indianapolis, Tulsa, the Twin Cities, Milwaukee and Cleveland.<br />
Literally, our demographic area is coast-to-coast! What’s more, this is your brand’s captive<br />
audience who will follow your logo throughout the custom car build and the hilarity of the cast’s<br />
antics on every episode. Every build will be formatted as a two-part series, with each episode<br />
(part) of HRC show running for one hour including commercial break time. Additionally, the<br />
network will air re-runs to be syndicated regularly after the initial debut, providing long term<br />
exposure.</p>
<p>MEDIA &amp; PUBLIC RELATIONS PROPOSAL:</p>
<p>Hot Rod Concepts has the client’s best interests in mind throughout the build, so in addition to<br />
the in-focus television camera exposure, the team has laid out an aggressive plan to build a<br />
turnkey public relations effort showcasing the entire project through its various stages of inside<br />
the shop, on the web and LIVE auto show events nationwide.</p>
<p>With a wealth of industry-leading media contacts at all major automotive magazines, HRC<br />
proposes a series of carefully pitched articles and editorial for every stage of the build. In<br />
addition to the print public relations campaign, HRC would like to suggest that key deliverables<br />
and/or premiums become a part of the marketing and PR mix—for example, posters of each<br />
finished vehicle to feature your brand as a sponsor. These can be utilized both in the magazines<br />
and as giveaways during the promotional stage of the project at auto events.</p>
<p>Rights of image usage of the finished vehicle as well as the HRC logo will be released to our<br />
featured clients to take full advantage of product promotion.</p>
<p>Please note that HRC cast member images or likenesses thereof will require a signed agreement<br />
between sponsorship partners and each individual cast member without exceptions.</p>
<p>ONLINE PRESENCE:</p>
<p>Hot Rod Concepts expects to capitalize on the growing online presence of viewers by linking the<br />
various stages of the custom car build to the World Wide Web. Website impressions statistics<br />
will be made available for clients on request. HRC has already secured a URL address for the<br />
project, which will go active May 1, 2009. The initial address domain has been secured as<br />
www.hotrodconcepts.tv.</p>
<p>HRC has heavily invested in marketing the project through the vast array of social networking<br />
sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter feeds. HRC already maintains a MySpace<br />
presence, available for viewing at the following URL address:<br />
http://www.myspace.com/hotrodsconcepts.</p>
<p>By choosing to participate in banner placement in the shop and becoming a show sponsor, your<br />
company will receive a link as well as product/logo promotional photos through HRC&#8217;s multiple<br />
web and networking presence.</p>
<p>PROMOTIONAL TOUR:</p>
<p>As mentioned in the introduction, Hot Rod Concepts sets themselves apart from all other custom<br />
car build shows through the implementation of the Promotional Tour. Once the custom car build<br />
ends, the promotional tour is just beginning. HRC has determined several key automotive trade<br />
shows, widely recognized as the industry leader in each category, that have been selected to be</p>
<p>a part of the promotional tour. They include:<br />

200,000.</p>

April 2, 2009</p>
<p>Extang and <a href="http://www.truxedo.com">TruXedo</a> Acquire Assets of BedRug from Wise Industries</p>
<p><a href="http://s639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/theddddirectory/Truxedo/?action=view&amp;current=screen-capture-83.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/theddddirectory/Truxedo/screen-capture-83.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="151" width="700" /></a></p>
<p>THI, the parent company of Extang Corporation and TruXedo, Inc., has acquired the operating assets of BedRug from Wise Industries, Inc. THI is the leading manufacturer of soft tonneau covers for light duty trucks in North America and was created as an investment vehicle by Kinderhook Industries, a highly respected New York private equity firm, to pursue acquisition opportunities in the truck aftermarket.</p>
<p>BedRug is the leading manufacturer of high-end cushioned and carpeted protective liners for the bed of a pickup truck. The BedRug liner product is more durable, comfortable and versatile than a traditional drop-in or spray-on liner and is waterproof, corrosion resistant and can withstand wide temperature ranges. BedRug is well known throughout the aftermarket and is synonymous with high quality, innovative and durable bed protection for trucks and is a perfect complement to THI’s strategy of acquiring leading brands in the truck aftermarket industry.</p>
<p>“I’m very excited to be working with the BedRug team as they continue to bring highly innovative products to market. Consistent with its strategy for Extang and TruXedo, Kinderhook intends to support a vigorous investment program in marketing and new product development at THI and BedRug to expand into the next generation of accessories for the back of a pickup truck. Additionally, Kinderhook and THI will continue to opportunistically explore additional strategic acquisition opportunities in the truck aftermarket that are highly complementary to THI’s overall strategy,” said Thomas Tuttle, Managing Director of Kinderhook.</p>
<p>As part of this acquisition, BedRug will merge into THI’s group of aftermarket companies under the management of Bill Reminder, CEO of THI, and Kelly Kneifl, COO of THI, and will continue to lay the foundation for further expansion into the next generation of truck and other related product categories. THI will strive to leverage the best practices and operational strengths of Extang, TruXedo and BedRug, while retaining the creativity, innovation and commitment to quality that these three brands were built on.</p>
<p>“Kinderhook brings the capital, experience and resources needed to continue growing our businesses and supports our continued efforts to be at the forefront of the truck accessory market. BedRug’s commitment to innovation and quality makes it a very attractive asset as it complements THI’s current strategy of new product development for the back of a pickup truck. With the capital provided by Kinderhook, we will be able to accelerate new development initiatives to expand our product offering and selectively pursue additional acquisition opportunities in related accessories,” said Bill Reminder, CEO of THI.</p>
<p>“BedRug is the perfect match to bring into the THI family of truck accessories. Combining the strong brand reputations of high quality products will have a tremendous impact in the marketplace. This is an exciting next chapter in our history,” said Kelly Kneifl C.O.O. of THI.</p>
<p>THI</p>
<p>THI is the holding company for Extang Corporation and TruXedo, Inc., the leading manufacturers of soft tonneau covers for light duty trucks in the U.S. Tonneaus are coverings used by truck owners to cover and secure the bed of their pickup.</p>
<p>BedRug</p>
<p>BedRug is a pioneer and industry leader in the development and manufacture of a molded closed-cell polypropylene foam bed liner. Bed liners are utilized to protect the truck bed from daily wear and tear and improve its general appearance and utility, thereby extending the useful life and resale value of the truck.</p>
<p>Kinderhook Industries, LLC</p>
<p>Kinderhook Industries is a New York based private equity fund with $470 million of committed capital. Their investment philosophy is based on combining senior management and operating experience in a variety of industries to support the growth of entrepreneurial owned businesses and non-core subsidiaries.
