Custom Dealer Floor Mats For Customers Is A Big WIN WIN

Posted on by in Featured.

SHREVEPORT, LA (09.27.24) – Proactive 12volt retailers that utilize disposable floor mats while doing installations for customers take advantage of this win-win opportunity. The first win is the consumers vehicle floor carpet stay clear of any items that could be transferred and damage the carpet. Secondly, dealers utilizing these disposable customized floor mats state that there is a lasting branding opportunity as many consumers will leave the format in the vehicle for weeks and months.

Audio Anarchy in Shreveport LA is a dealer that definitely takes advantage of this opportunity. Brandon Buck stated “We really care about our customers and feel that these floor mats protect the floor carpet in our customer’s vehicles and shows them that we really strive to do the best. In addition, many customers will leave the floor mat in place for sometime after picking up their vehicles. This provides additional branding for our company. The floor material is a treated paper stock to be moisture resistant and will really come in handy during the winter weather coming soon from many. When you think about it, this is also cheap advertising. It’s definitely a win-win for all plus the vendor.”

Brandon Buck headed to a car to place the floor mat in the customer’s car.

Buck continued “We buy these floor mats from dealermarket.com and they wind up costing me about $.20 each. I email the company my vector file and they create the graphic and email it back to me for approval. Once I approve the graphic they are very responsive, and produce them and ship within a matter of days.”

Audio Anarchy does a big job with interior lighting which really spotlights this floor mat in the customers car.

The 12volt Central Studios saw the Audio Anarchy floor mat in a friends car who had a dash cam installed at Audio Anarchy. A few weeks later the Audio Anarchy floor mats were still in the car. That is definitely a big Win Win.
