Can you honestly describe your parts department as competitive and aggressive?<\/p>\n
Chances are, you could be a lot more efficient when it comes to selling parts and accessories online. Outdated parts forms and a weak web presence can hold you back, giving someone else an advantage. When another dealership makes a sale in your area, that\u2019s one less sale for your parts business.<\/p>\n
Get this\u2014the more customers you\u2019re engaging with, the fewer there are for your competition.<\/p>\n
The strategy is simple. Be where your customers are, wherever they are. With over 16,700 franchised dealers in the United States alone, shoppers have endless options when it comes to buying parts. Are your weak social media presence and non-user-friendly website holding you back from securing your share of this multi-billion dollar industry?<\/p>\n
Good news\u2014you can fix that.<\/p>\n
Through basic social media engagement and incentives, like discounts and free shipping promos, you can reach new customers and re-engage old customers at the same time. Social media has an influence on 74% of customers when it comes to buying something. By putting your dealership on social media, you\u2019re getting your parts business in front of a much larger audience. If your closest competitor doesn\u2019t, you just gave yourself an edge.<\/p>\n
Your dealership website is the first impression a customer will have of your business.<\/p>\n

Often, the fatal mistake of a dealership\u2019s website is the parts form. It costs you sales in ways you may have never considered. Picture this: your customer finds a competitor\u2019s store that has an all-in-one plugin that gives full access to their entire parts catalog without having to fill out a confusing form. For the customer, it’s a no brainer\u2014 easy, accurate, and no waiting. Your parts form simply can\u2019t stand up to that. The only way to compete with such an easy shopping experience is to ditch the old parts form for a user-friendly plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the world of selling OEM parts, being adaptable is crucial. In 2018, eCommerce auto parts sales exceeded 10 billion dollars. If you\u2019re open to making changes and tweaking your parts business on the fly, you’re sure to come out on top. The pie (with a golden brown sales crust and a delicious revenue filling) is bigger than ever and it keeps growing by the day.<\/p>\n Time to claim your own slice of the pie.
