G7 Sounds Right For Vauxhall

Here’s a bit of cool news – it IS a bit of a business-to-business thang – but is really good news if you want to buy a new (or approved used) Vauxhall motor car at Eden Vauxhall in Newbury, Berkshire.
Celsus UK Limited, UK distributors for premium audio brand Phoenix Gold, are supporting the enterprising efforts of a new customer aiming to develop niche business with local their local Vauxhall dealer.
After designing and developing systems for high end vehicles for many years, Gavin Foot founded G7 Sounds of Newbury in May 2012 to meet the growing demand for integrated audio, entertainment and security products. The company showrooms are supported by fitting and bespoke fabrication services too.
‘We pitched the audio upgrade opportunity and have fitted out a demonstrator car to show just what a massive difference there is’, said Gavin. ‘Whilst brands like BMW, Audi and others offer Bose upgrades on new cars, Vauxhall supply standard audio equipment. This creates an aftermarket opportunity. Phoenix Gold is perfect. Like Bose it’s a performance range that’s only available through specialists.’
G7 Sounds has grown quickly this year on the back of a philosophy that’s the direct opposite of the growing number of web sellers who advertise low prices but then typically disappoint with products they can’t supply, can’t support or which aren’t suitable. Instead, G7 aim to offer full customer support – in this case, working with the dealership on a structured sales process.
The simple question; ‘How do you store your music?’ opens up the sales opportunity for audio upgrades ranging from phone or MP3 player interfaces up to audio enhancements (speakers, then amps) and even digital radio. Embedding this within the used car sales process offers capability to help both the driver (who gains upgrade pre-delivery or the option to add costs to car finance) and the business. For a sales executive, in-car entertainment can be a valuable lever to clinch the sale or maximise margin.
‘When Gavin contacted us we wanted to support an excellent initiative’, said Mark Baker, Celsus Marketing Director. ‘We’ve created a stock profile to support availability on the main programme. G7 can simply order through our web site as normal to keep it slick.’
