2005 Program Distribution Report

Jan. 1, 2020
As the industry demands it, program groups continue altering their strategies. Understanding their differences can help you find the right fit.

Each of the 14 program groups recognizes the importance of strategy and planning in running their organization. As marketplace consolidation, declining margins and other major issues plague the automotive industry, program groups continue to develop tactics to help members cope with the changing business landscape.


And whether a program group chooses to focus on private label products vs. national, or organic growth vs. seeking out new members, these factors are all important to joining a group that fits comfortably with your business. In today’s business climate, everyone from the largest distributor to the smallest independent could stand to have a strong group in their corner.
