Their pitch is simple: parts departments are leaving money on the table by not selling online. DealerRefresh's readership of dealer principals, internet directors, GMs, and fixed ops directors is precisely the decision-making layer RevolutionParts needs to reach. Award-winning dealerships are proving online parts sales can become a predictable, scalable profit center for fixed operations — a direct pain point as dealership profitability comes under increasing pressure in 2026. RevolutionParts positions itself as removing the roadblocks by giving dealerships a single, easy-to-use platform to run their parts business online. **Recommended DealerRefresh Products:** - **Forum Banners** — High fit. Daily visibility to 3,000+ auto retail pros covers GMs and fixed ops directors who are actively evaluating parts profit strategies. RevolutionParts' value prop (incremental revenue from parts eCommerce) is a fast read and a natural click-driver for that audience. - **Retargeting Pixel** — High fit. RevolutionParts has more open roles in Marketing than at any point in the past 9 months, signaling active investment in demand gen. Retargeting DealerRefresh visitors on Facebook/Instagram means RevolutionParts ads follow exactly the dealer-level buyers they're chasing — cost-efficient and audience-precise. - **Demo / Review Video** — Strong fit. RevolutionParts offers a comprehensive platform that streamlines online parts retail and wholesale sales, enabling sellers to list through multiple digital channels including dealership websites, custom web stores, and leading marketplaces. A live product walk-through by Alex & Jeff would demystify setup concerns for skeptical parts managers and fixed ops directors — 5,000+ views gives this format strong reach into exactly the right titles. - **Sponsored Forum Post** — Best long-term fit. A permanent, SEO-indexed post on a topic like *"How dealerships are turning their parts department into a six-figure online revenue channel"* would serve as evergreen content. RevolutionParts helps auto manufacturers, distributors, and retailers grow by making it easier to sell parts online — from real-time OEM catalog data to shipping tools and marketplace integrations, all in one platform built for parts. This message resonates strongly in AI search, where dealer ops questions increasingly surface forum-style content. --- ### About Sonya Shen (Contact) **⚠️ Important note for the rep:** So
