At Reid, we’re not just making cycling more accessible for customers, we’re also helping dealers like you grow your business. With our online sales channel in the US, we’re driving more riders to our network of trusted dealers, giving you more opportunities to connect with new customers and increase sales.
By offering online shopping with flexible fulfilment options, we’re bringing more people into the Reid community while ensuring they still have the option to engage with local dealers like you.
What This Means for Your Business
A Seamless Online-to-Store Experience
Customers today want the convenience of shopping online, but many still appreciate the in-store experience. With our online platform, riders can browse, research, and purchase their new bike directly from the Reid website, but they can also choose to collect from a local dealer.
That means:
- More sales opportunities for your store
- Increased foot traffic from online customers picking up their orders
- A chance to provide expert advice, accessories, and servicing to new riders
How It Works
1. Customers Shop Online Anytime
Your potential customers are researching bikes online, often outside of store hours. Our website allows them to browse our full range of bikes and make a purchase when it’s convenient for them.
2. Two Delivery Options
- Ship to Their Door - Some customers prefer direct home delivery, making the buying process seamless.
- Pick Up from Your Store - Customers who want in-person service can select your store as a pickup location, bringing them directly to your business.
Why This Benefits You
- Increased Sales Potential - You’ll receive more orders, even when your store is closed.
- More Customer Engagement - Pickup customers visit your store, giving you opportunities to upsell accessories and servicing.
- Stronger Local Presence - As an official Reid dealer, you gain more exposure through our online platform.
- Exclusive Retailer Protection - provided by us when on our dealer-focused platform
