Help with gift packs

[showtime]

I've decided to make my own gift packs up to sell to car dealerships. They're going to be in a cardboard holder that will be personalized to each dealership and shrinkwrapped. The only thing is, I don't know what to put in them. So, if you were to get a gift pack from a dealership what kinds of products would you like in them? Keep the cost low...3 products or less.....remember I'm selling these to car dealerships. Try to keep retail cost below $20.

I'd throw in a Water Magnet too but I'm sure it'd go over you price limit. (If I haven't already, that is. I don't think they've announced the price of the clay kit yet.)

I think you should add another $5 to the price so you can include a Meguiar's microfiber cloth.

Sounds like a good idea, however the following questions come to mind.

1- Why would dealerships have a need to give away gift packs?

2- How sure are you that they would be interested in buying your custom made gift packs?

Frank, some stores really like having such things to give customers. Not everyone going down the road in a newly purchasd vehicle wants one, but placed in the hands of many customers, they mean a great deal. Customers like a "freebie" when they buy and this one is inexpensive for the dealership. It's not even something you'd advertise with the sale, just kind of present to the customer on the date of delivery.

They can also be nice door prizes for dealership sales and service department meetings.

Even if a dealership itself doesn't buy them, the more successful sales people at a particular store might buy them to personally give to the people they know and sell to.

I agree with some kind of wash gel. The cleaner wax is another good one. If the customer uses it, they'll like it. That's one of Meguiar's most consumer friendly products that works in a nice array of situations and is novice friendly. I'd like to add either a foam or microfiber applicator pad for the wax.

Showtime, do you already sell products to these stores? I found that the more our reputation spread at a dealership, the more interested people were in buying our products to do it themselves. I gave away samples to some of my customers, both in our reconditioning/detailing stores and at our vehicle sales lots.

I have an Xpel dealership and I sell Meguiar's. I'm already "in" at these dealerships, except for one Ford, they're all high end. This one BMW dealer I do will take care of someone to no end. Alot of dealerships like to give away stuff at Christmas so why not make money off it? This makes more sense than advertising. It's easier to sell to someone you've already sold to than get someone off the street. If you take care of someone with treatment and nice freebies, they'll most likely buy again from you. When I bought my SHO, the dealership gave me a free hat. It sounds stupid, but the other two cars I bought before that at other places never gave me anything. I've since bought 6 cars in the past 5 years from that place. Why? They treated me good and took care of me with freebies every now and then.

Anyway, all products have to have the same depth for packaging reasons.
I'm thinking of-

Gold Class wash
NXT window cleaner
Gold Class wheel cleaner

do you cut your own kits?

In about a month I will. I'm now selling 3-4 per week so I'm losing money not making my own. I'm buying another dealer out and have to finalize things.
