Tire Review 2014 Consumer Profile

2014 Consumer Profile

“Consumers.” “Guests.” “Drivers.” “Clients.” Whatever you want to call them, the people who walk in and out of your front doors every day are the ones you count on to make your cash register sing. They are the reason why your team stays 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 they like about your shop or your competition? Thanks to Marketplace Insights, we can take you inside the minds of real-world tire and service consumers. Marketplace Insights conducts national and local customer attitude studies for numerous tire dealers and tire companies.

For the national study this Consumer Profile was drawn from, Marketplace Insights conducted 13,000 online interviews with recent tire and service buyers in 26 metro markets across the U.S. Those 26 markets represent an estimated 55% of the total retail replacement consumer tire demand in the U.S.
