“To better convert this demand to sales, Goodyear assists participating dealers in creating their own best-in-class websites that offer the experience and features consumers expect,” said Scott Rogers, chief marketing officer for Goodyear's North American consumer tire business.
“They can take advantage of the consumer traffic at www.goodyear.com, with built-in, deep-link shopping cart handoff capabilities—with a newly created website for their business, all for no incremental cost to their existing Tire & Service Network membership.”
With this online coordination, participating tire dealers can attract potential buyers in two ways, according to Goodyear: directly to their enhanced sites and via www.goodyear.com.
“Our work to build this new dealer website platform will help the participating dealers to have an engaging online presence and be found online by tire shoppers,” Mr. Rogers said.
Some of the features and support included in the website platform include:
- Auto-posted Goodyear promotions;
- Multiple options for quoting or scheduling;
- Automotive service content;
- Design customizations to allow a participating dealership to display its unique position in the local community; and
- Consistency and integration points with www.goodyear.com.
TCS Technologies is the only authorized vendor that can provide these customized websites at no additional cost to participating dealers, Goodyear said.
Qualifying dealers interested in signing up for the new customized website option should contact TCS Technologies at 888-449-8473, [email protected], visit the company's website, or call their local Goodyear sales representative.
