2013 Consumer Profile - Tire Review Magazine

2013 Consumer Profile

Clearly, if you are a retail tire dealer, consumers are the ones you count on to make your cash register sing. Whether you call them ‘drivers,’ ‘customers’ or ‘guests,’ they are the reason you get up in the morning – and how your team remains focused all day long.

But what are they really thinking? Do you really know about them and how they approach the entire tire and vehicle service business? What do they like about your shop or your competition? What about the brands you carry? How loyal they are to you – or the tire brands you represent?

Thanks to Marketplace Insights, we take you inside the mind of real-world tire and service buyers. Marketplace Insights conducts national and local customer attitude studies for numerous tire dealers and tire companies.
