It’s no secret that dealers see escalated tire sales in the last two months of the year. This makes it an ideal time to drive profit even further with strategic new tire campaigns. Based on internal data tracking yearly sales, we’ve discovered a large increase in tire demand for November and December. Increasing to nearly 21% of all December ROs for luxury, and 17% for import and domestic dealerships, this spike in tire sales and installations is a great opportunity to boost revenue for your service department. Take advantage of this interest with campaigns specifically designed to highlight tires. With several different tire-specific templates, you have the tools at your disposal to send high-quality campaigns to customers already in the market for purchasing tires.
Timing is Everything: Request Your Campaigns Now
Start the season by showing customers why seasonal tires make a difference on their vehicle, and remind them of all the safety advantages before they get on the road. Help them start their vacations with more peace of mind by offering complimentary oil changes, multi-point inspections or car washes to further drive the sale.
You can also feature personalized, limited-time specials, or use the extensive data in AutoLoop Essentials™ to create incentives and initiate promotions based on an individual’s prior activity. And by consistently reminding customers of your technicians’ expertise – and their exclusive use of genuine OEM parts – on each communication, you’ll reinforce the expectation of premium care for their vehicle in your service lane.
