  • The Benefits Of Car Window Tinting And Aftermarket Automotive Accessories

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    As most car dealers know there has been a huge boost in customers wishing to personalize their vehicles. Many customers consider their vehicle an extension of their own unique personality. But the key to successfully selling aftermarket products as a dealer is showcasing unique vehicles that will catch the eye of the customer. When the customer sees a one of a kind vehicle with clean smooth car window tinting vs. a car with no window tinting at all they are more likely to go for the one with the car window tinting because it is more appealing. If a customer sees a truck that he likes at a dealership but it doesn't have all the features that he saw initially in an add or commercial he may decide not to buy that truck. The customer is more likely to buy a vehicle if it has at least one or two special aftermarket features.

  • Differentiation Strategies Used by BMW

    556 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the differentiation strategies used by BMW is the creation of auto products that consumers can emotionally relate to. In building the BMW brand, the company has succeeded in positioning its products as prestigious or luxurious. Therefore, most consumers want to own a BMW car solely for the prestige it gives them. BMW products are not only purchased due to their usability or functionality but for the status they give the owner. Subsequently, when a person buys a BMW product, they are emotionally attached not just to the car but to the brand as a whole. This has created increased brand loyalty in BMW growing its customer base as more people search for the status associated with the company’s products.
