New Dry-Erase Hang Tags Offer Potential Cost Savings
The hard plastic, dry-erase tags give dealers the ability to reuse them instead of throwing them away, as is the case with traditional paper tags. These tags also eliminate the possibility of misprints due to their dry-erase nature.
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — A new line of dry erase-type hang tags from Wheel’s Automotive Dealer Supplies Inc. is designed to help dealers merchandise inventory and save money, according to the company.
The hard plastic, dry-erase tags give dealers the ability to reuse them instead of throwing them away, as is the case with traditional paper tags. These tags also eliminate the possibility of misprints, due to their dry-erase nature.
According to the company, a dealer selling 1,000 new and used vehicles a year would see a return on investment of $600 in the second year of tag use if they replaced paper tags with them.
“We are always listening to dealers and looking for practical new ways to help dealers sell cars and save money,” Ashworth said. “These new dry erase useable hang tags will not curl at edges or fade easily, so they always look new and fresh to shoppers,” said Richard Ashworth, president of Wheel’s Automotive Dealer Supplies.
