[I:https://advertising-blog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MichaelMurrey13.jpg]Considering the huge market and large number of distribution channels and manufacturers, buying auto accessories is not as simple as it used to be. It’s a $1 trillion global market, with the US alone home to 4000 part manufacturers. Aftermarket sales amount to $215 billion per year.
Then there are the buying options. Vehicle owners usually start with a store located in their own city which carries parts for the make and model in question. If the part they need is not available, the next stage is to start looking at online stores. The last resort is to buy it straight from the manufacturer.
Buying from manufacturers is again a complex deal, because many do not have an online store or a direct presence in every city. Instead customers visiting their website are redirected to local authorized dealers for the zip code. So it might be easier to skip the whole website thing and head straight for the dealer who sold the vehicle in the first place.
Even so, the solution won’t be the most desirable one because of the high cost and possible delays if the product is out of stock. Branded items sold by manufacturers are at least twice as expensive as aftermarket parts. Even without the official brand label, it still looks just as good and performs the same, with an equivalent warranty to boot.
What it all adds up to is that online stores offer the best option for buying auto accessories. Local stores in the city won’t have anywhere near the same range, and manufacturer prices are always in the high end range. A wide range of products and brands and the best possible price can only be obtained from online sellers.
A small automobile parts website will carry more products than a massive brick and mortar mega-store. The vehicle owner can browse and shop for all types of auto accessories, from seat covers and floor mats to car covers and mag or alloy wheels. The shopping part is also quite easy, since buyers can start with the part name and filter the choices based on price, brand and the make or model of the vehicle.
