Think about how you traveled to school or work today. Did you drive? Ride a bike? Take a bus? Take an Uber? Unless you walked, your answer involves tires. Tires are necessary for the majority of transportation options available but most people don’t pay attention to them.

If you have purchased tire before, do you recall the brand? If you’re like most people, you probably don’t recall or you don’t have strong feelings about your relationship with that brand. Most people think about tires only when they need a replacement set due to wear and tear or an unforeseen blowout. Either way, shopping for tires is not typically seen as a fun or positive experience. We need your help to change that!

Since tire purchases happen once every 3-5 years for the average consumer, tire manufacturers struggle with keeping the consumer engaged in between purchases. We want your ideas for how tire brands can stay top of mind for consumers by inducing a loyalty program. Think about how you would like to be engaged, employ creative strategies that will lead to return purchases for the average consumer, and think about what would make you remain loyal to the tire brand.
