Kendon Trailers Partners With Shopatron to Bring eCommerce to Their Website.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorcycle and car buffs the world over are now waiting anxiously for the delivery guy. Buying a motorcycle trailer or bike lift online may not sound like news to you, but it is to many enthusiasts who either couldn't find a Kendon dealer in their area, or simply wanted to shop for and purchase a trailer or lift online. It's also news to brands struggling with the decision whether to sell their product directly from their branded website.

Kendon's fold-up motorcycle trailers and motorcycle lifts have been available at retail dealers nationwide since their founding in 1991. But until recently—because of the nature of their products, and loyalty to their retailer partners—they were reluctant to sell their products online. An introduction to Shopatron changed that.

"We love our retail dealers, as they are the lifeblood to Kendon's success," says Kendon President, Frank Esposito. "Nothing works better for the consumer than working with a knowledgeable stocking dealer.  We didn't want to undermine those relationships by selling online direct to our consumers, so it was great news when we found Shopatron. Now we keep our customer base happy by selling directly from our website, and still keep our retail partners happy giving them the orders. Shopatron is a good business reason for more dealers to stock Kendon."

Shopatron adds Kendon to a list of nearly 1,000 brands and 12,000 retailers that use Shopatron's unique eCommerce model to process online orders. Like Kendon, many brands have felt the push to sell online, but needed a way to do so without undermining their retailer sales.
