Flynn's Tire Wholesale Redesigns Its Website
WEST MIDDLESEX, Pa. -- Flynn’s Tire Wholesale has launched a redesigned website for its wholesale customers, says Shaun Fitzgerald, general manager. The website was developed to make it easier for wholesale accounts to track and analyze purchases.
The site features both public and account-specific pages, Fitzgerald says. The public side offers information about locations and contact information, sales representative service areas, tire rebate forms, equipment sales, tire brands offered, tire programs, reward trips summaries, press releases and a history of the company.
The account-specific side has two login areas for active customers. The Tireweb Login links to the Flynn’s business-to-business site for ordering tires. This is similar to the previous version with some enhancements. The other login area, "Customer Sales Stats," is a new feature and goes to a secure database that displays customer-specific purchase history, rewards programs they have signed up for and current points earned toward reaching those rewards. Information within the database will be updated at the end of each business day.
"We saw the need to provide as much up-to-date information as possible to our customers so that they can make informed decisions on tire buying with Flynn's Tire Wholesale," Fitzgerald explains. "Our customers can now get updated daily on their standings for rebates, reward trips and special purchase programs."
“I am personally excited about this new wholesale website because its launch at the beginning of 2014 coincides with the year of Flynn's 50th anniversary," added Joe Flynn III, president. "So much has evolved since our first retail location opened in 1964. This website is light years beyond what we would have ever imagined when we started."
Established in 1964, Flynn's Tire Group is a major regional tire wholesaler that remains a family-owned business operated by the Flynn family. It grew from one location in Mercer, Pa., to 29 retail, wholesale and commercial locations. Expansion will continue this anniversary year, Flynn said.
