'SURVIVAL' IN TODAY's AUTOMOTIVE MARKETPLACE
Auto dealers are facing some tough challenges. The fallout from the worldwide financial crisis is now working it's way through the auto industry. Vehicle sales are in dramatic decline. Profits on in-stock units continue to deteriorate.
Traditional service department revenue is shrinking, mainly due to improvements in vehicle performance and durability. Fixed and variable costs are rising. No wonder, that many dealers are looking for new ways to pump up sales and slim profit margins.
Providing more efficient and profitable service volume is one of the obvious answers. Additional ancillary services (i.e. detailing or tire storage etc) can help generate new revenue streams.
There's also a multi-billion dollar industry that offers additional profit generating opportunities: Call it accessorizing, personalizing or accessories retailing.Auto accessorization in the U.S. generates $36.7 billion annually in direct retail sales. In Canada it's about $3.0 billion in products dealers can successfully merchandise at the point of sale. Anything that relates to automobile appearance, function and its use should be considered.
