Jim Blair, Senior Vice President of CARZONE, delivered an impactful speech at the China Import and Export Fair, Nanjing Economic and Trade Cooperation Summit. Representing CARZONE and Nanjing businesses, Jim Blair emphasized the importance of international collaborations and unveiled CARZONE's vision for the future of the #automotiveaftermarket industry. Jim highlighted that the automotive aftermarket is an exciting but challenging market to operate profitably. The four distinct parts are: 1.) Factory/Suppliers - support for product performance, coverage, and supply chain 2.) Warehouse Distribution/Retail Stores - support for market basket sales, stocking strategies, branding, and sales tools 3.) Garages - support for systems, technical support, CRM, and customer traffic 4.) End Consumers - support from online selection, DIY, and local service support. Merchandizing is a core capability that runs through all these key areas. Strong merchandising will drive expanded sales and satisfied customers in the market. CARZONE’s merchandising support will help to ensure we have the right parts in the right place at the right price. The key is to match the cars and product life cycles to the customer's needs. We have the experience to help customers excel through all parts of the aftermarket. CARZONE is committed to strengthening supplier and partner relationships through the Nanjing Economic and Trade Cooperation Summit. By actively engaging with partners at the summit, CARZONE seeks to forge lasting partnerships to ensure exceptional product and service quality.
