Car Dealer Secrets

When you buy your new vehicle, there’s a 95% chance that a salesperson will not inform you that High Quality Factory Style Leather is available.
Factory leather is usually an option that is bundled together with an expensive luxury or interior package upgrade.
However, Katzkin’s aftermarket leather is as good as what you’d get from the auto manufacturer and more economical than factory leather.

Katzkin was established in 1983 and has established supply relationships with MOPAR, Fiat Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ford.
Upgrading your factory cloth seats to Katzkin leather is an affordable luxury.

Turning Upholstery Shops into Automotive Restylers

A Full Service Restyling Shop in Actions

While Classic Soft Trim was developing corporate stores, Katzkin was cleverly changing auto upholstery shops into Automotive Restylers. One of the tactics employed by Katzkin’s marketing director, Kristine Brantley, was sending faxes and using print ads to position them as market leaders and that formula worked. The result was a consistent marketing message using reinforcement by repetition, as a result Katkin’s brand became synonymous with automotive restylers in North America.

Auto Industry Recognition from MOPAR, Fiat Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ford

Auto Industry enlists Katzkin as a Tier Supplier

20 years after Mitch Katz started the business in 1983, Daimler Chrysler, one of the Big 3 U.S. auto manufacturers, took the first step in recognizing the quality of Katzkin leather interiors as being on par with OEM quality. This opened the door, allowing customers to order aftermarket leather seat upgrades that would be covered by Chrysler’s factory warranty. Ford Motor Company did the same thing in 2008 when they announced that Katzkin would be their exclusive supplier of aftermarket leather.

Marketing partnership with Foose Designs

Chip Foose Designed Special Edition Leather Interiors for Katzkin

Chip Foose is an award winning automobile designer and Star of the TV Show Overhaulin’. Having designed some of the most amazing Hot Rods and Custom Cars in America, the industry has recognized his achievements by honouring him with more than 30 awards. In 1997, at the age of 31, he was the youngest person inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame. 19 years later, he was awarded the industry’s highest honour by inducting him into the SEMA Hall of Fame. Chip Foose has also lent his design talents to Katkin by creating a Special Edition line of leather interiors.

Marketing SEMA as an Annual Celebration for Restylers

2016 was the 50th Anniversary of The SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV

The Katzkin marketing machine reaches a crescendo at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. As this is the biggest car event, it’s also an Annual Celebration for industry insiders from across the continent. Consequently, the power of their marketing department is on full display with many of the vehicles sporting Katzkin sponsored interiors.

The Katzkin Booth is the anchor featuring a smartly dressed display of Katzkin leather seats and other marketing tools. As a result, the booth becomes the  business hub where regional sales managers reinforce loyalty and create new relationships. A highlight of SEMA is the mid-week Katzkin Party; an event where restyling companies can sit back and talk shop.

That’s a peek into Katzkin and the Industry they helped build. All in all, their a pretty amazing company with a great history.
