🚴♻️ Why Trade-Ins Are a Game Changer for Bike Shops! With the pricing models that are happening the industry right now, finding ways to boost sales and keep customers coming back is key. One effective approach that’s gaining traction in the bike industry? Trade-ins! Here’s why we created a trade-in program for bike shops where we buy the second hand bike from the customer & the bike shop gets all the upside of a new sale. 1️⃣ Lower the Barrier to Purchase: For many customers, buying a new bike is a significant investment. A trade-in program allows them to offset part of the cost with their old bike, making that next upgrade more affordable. 2️⃣ Build Customer Loyalty: Trade-in programs keep customers engaged with the shop. When people know they can return to upgrade, they’re more likely to come back, helping build lasting relationships. 3️⃣ Meet Evolving Needs: As riders progress, their needs change. A first-time commuter may eventually want a road bike, or a mountain biker might decide to go electric. Trade-ins enable shops to meet customers’ evolving preferences, ensuring they always have the right bike at the right time.

We used July’s Startline Used Car Tracker to ask dealers what they thought were the reasons behind the collapse of Cazoo. The top answer – at 50% - was that potential for online-only motor retail remains limited. It was followed by 37% who said investors overestimated efficiencies that could be accessed through technology, and 35% that Cazoo failed to recognise that existing dealers were already good at selling online. Perhaps the most interesting response is the 23% who say the arrival of Cazoo caused others in the market to improve their online proposition. While the business may ultimately have been a failure, it has arguably been good for the sector.

"Used car dealer Cazoo poised to enter administration" A recent headline highlighted the impending administration of Cazoo. Cazoo's business model, which capitalized on the closure of physical dealerships, unfortunately, failed to evolve sufficiently to compete with the traditional car dealerships.  Cazoo entering administration prompt a question : is there a market for online car purchases? I believe there is a market, however, it needs to be complemented by another revenue stream, it is not big enough yet. One innovative approach could have been leveraging Cazoo's existing car inventory for rental purposes, offering customers the convenience of having a rental car delivered directly to their doorstep. This could have served as an additional revenue stream, supplementing online sales. However, it's clear that a successful online car purchasing model still require diversification to thrive. #business #postpandemic #retail #strategy #marketing #adaptation

🚴♂️ Customer Insights at Tyred 🚴♀️ Over the past few months, we've gathered valuable insights into what our customers love (and don’t love) about bicycle servicing. We’ve discovered that bicycle servicing is a mix of going to the dentist and getting your hair cut. While nobody eagerly anticipates a trip to the dentist, when something goes wrong, you want it fixed professionally, quickly, and affordably. On the other hand, the personal touch of getting to know your mechanic and building a relationship is similar to visiting your favorite hairdresser. To meet these needs, we are implementing several features: Personal Mechanic Requests: Just like choosing your preferred hairdresser, you can now request your favorite mechanic for your bike servicing. Instant Bookings: Need a flat tire fixed ASAP? We’ve got you covered with instant bookings. To address this video, what we did learn from our test also, was that some people do prefer the personal communication options with booking a service. So, our upcoming app version will retain the chat feature, keeping you in constant contact with our team. Whether you prefer booking a repair by talking to someone or selecting a service directly, we’re here to help. #CustomerExperience #BicycleServicing #tyred #Innovation #BikeLife #London #Cycling #Startup #micromobility #growth
