US Tire POS Panel
Leverage the power of data-driven insights for better, faster market decisions.
Over half of US replacement tire sales come from the independent tire specialist channel – but information on activity in these crucial outlets has been scarce.
To address this, GfK developed the first panel collecting point-of-sale (POS) data from independent tire dealers nationwide. Drawing from over 8,000 points of sale, GfK’s panel allows manufacturers and retailers to understand for the first time:
- Brand Share Changes
- Competitive Activities
- Sell Out Pricing at the Tire Level
With data from January 2016 to the current month, GfK’s panel allows executives to benchmark their performance against the channel and bring a richer, fact-based perspective to decision making.
Reaching key milestones
GfK POS data can help achieve key goals for tire sales:
Be in the right place at the right time – GfK helps you increase profitability and address non-productive inventory in the supply chain
Anticipate production needs – see which tires consumers are purchasing in the replacement market on a month-by-month basis, and understand the impact of new product launches and innovations
Maximize the value of promotion and ads – with channel-wide sales trends at your fingertips, including competitive data, you can see which consumer/trade tactics are working to drive efficient promotional/advertising strategies
