2015 Consumer Profile - Tire Review Magazine

2015 Consumer Profile

“The Boss,” those people who walk in and out of your front doors every day, they are the reason you get up every morning. They make you independent, and their purchases at your retail store, warehouse or commercial tire center pay your bills and your employees, and puts money back into the local economy.

They are the reason you and your team remains focused all day long.

But what do you really understand about them, especially the always-fickle retail buyer?

Thanks to Marketplace Insights, we can take you inside the mind 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.
