What do people use their mobile devices for? Pretty much everything these days, right?
We check our mobile devices constantly and they are where we turn to for information, our friends, the environment around us, a personal assistant, and shopping.
An estimated 20 percent of all Internet traffic comes from a mobile device. Some consumers even say they will rarely use a desktop or laptop computer to go online.
In 2013, 55 percent of all retail-related online time was from tablets and smartphones, while the remaining 45 percent originated from desktop computers.
During the second quarter of 2013, the amount spent in mobile commerce totaled $4.7 billion, or 8.6% of the entire U.S. e-commerce market for that time period. On top of that, between the second quarter of 2012 and the same period of 2013, m-commerce revenue grew at a rate of 24%, compared to 16% in the e-commerce market as a whole.
That's a lot of surfing!

Well, it looks like the groundhog was right. Winter is here for a little longer.
We at Monaco Ford know that winter in New England can be no fun for many reasons. One reason is the cold. Who couldn’t use a beach and a fruity drink right about now?
Also, the ice. How many time have you almost fallen down your steps this week?
How about the days where it’s dark when you go to work and dark when you come out of work? It can get pretty depressing after a while.
The salt and sand make your shiny new vehicle not so shiny.
And don’t forget about the snow. Lots and lots of snow. The shoveling, the snowblowing – I’ve done more that lately than I care to think about.
Luckily for you, we can help you out with the snow. We are doing a “Plow Promotion” right now on the 2014 F350. You’ll get savings, rebates, and a general feeling of knowing that your truck is going to make the biggest snow wave in Connecticut.

As a family-owned and operated business for nearly a century, we at Monaco Ford know that it’s the small businesses that make up the fabric of the community.
To show you some of the fabulous businesses in the area, we are doing a series of videos where we take our vehicles out and film at the business – highlighting what it does best.
Our most recent video was shot while I was livin’ on the edge with the Ford Edge and Stone Age Rock Gym in Manchester. I test drove the vehicle over to Stone Age Rock Gym and met Kevin West, who taught me how to climb a rock wall.
Want to see how I did? Click here to watch the video.
This month, anyone who comes to our dealership to test drive a Ford Edge will get a free day pass to Stone Age Rock Gym.
