The products you need to stock in time for winter
You’re going to hate us for this, and it may come as a surprise, but winter is only around the corner. If you haven’t already, you may want to start considering what stock you want/need to supply to your customers. As you should know by now, we love to help our customers and to save you some of your valuable time, has compiled a list of some obvious, and some not so obvious products that you should consider stocking this winter.
When it comes to the weather, it’s something we just have to work with whether it be foggy, frosty or the sudden downpour that soaks you through. Fortunately, we have a vast number of products that you can use to stay dry, stay warm, stay clean or even keep your belongings protected.
Let’s just state the obvious
Every year we find ourselves fighting the elements when it comes to getting to work in the mornings. Whether it be rushing to the car to get out of the rain or scraping off the ice once the temperature drops. Our cars really get tested when it comes to this time of year. Thankfully we have pretty much all you need to help get you where you need to be.
Take our Premium Ice Scraper, for example, a must-have product for all drivers to quickly get that undesirable layer of ice out the way. We also supply an ice scraper with a built-in glove – an essential for those especially bitter mornings.
Not prepared to take the risk with your windscreen? Totally understandable. Almost half of all road users are at risk of a cracked windscreen during winter, due to how the cold affects the glasses structure according to a survey completed last year. Our Frost Shields are perfect to help lessen the chances of damage not to mention its ability to save time in the morning. All you’ve got to do is take it down, pop the heating on, fold the frost shield so it’ll slip into the boot and be on your way! A far better way to start the commute than battling with a thick layer of frost and a foggy windscreen.
The cold weather affects our cars inside and out and no matter what we do to protect them, sometimes the inevitable is unavoidable. Although it takes extremely low temperatures to cause the battery to freeze, cooler temperatures can reduce the batteries performance, making it more likely to have trouble starting your car. But this is where our Breakdown Range comes in. We have a variety of battery chargers available including a 4/8 amp automatic charger, or one of our Jump Starter and Powerbanks.
One of the RAC’s top tips for winter to help prevent your car battery from giving in to the cold is by either storing it in a garage through the night or under cover. Our Auto Range has exactly what you need from Motorbike Covers to Fully Water Proof Car Coverings, such a small and easily stored away investment could not only save time when it comes to defrosting the car in the morning but also a potential battery replacement bill.
Bad weather means more vehicles on the road
It’s no surprise that the likelihood of walking to school/work on a wet day is slim to none. Can’t say we can blame you, but what about those muddy boots all over your car’s upholstery? Not something you need to worry about with Simply Auto. Our Seat Protectors and Rubber Car Mats are the perfect way to help keep your car protected from the aftermath of wet and muddy terrain.
A dirtier vehicle is a given. The increased rainfall, decomposing leaves and dirt are a recipe for a heavily soiled vehicle. It’s what you expect when travelling anywhere during the Autumn and Winter seasons, but our Auto Cleaning Range has some ideal solutions to keeping on top of the grubbiest places, inside and out. For us, the essentials have to be the Microfibre Mitt, our convenient flow-through wash brush and our handheld rechargeable vacuum.
Our fine microfibre mitt is the perfect car cleaning go to. Being ultra-absorbent, it holds much more water and suds than an average mitt, making it even more effective for cleaning your vehicle while its durability means it’s perfectly suited for all-year-round use and reliable every time.
It’s so important to ensure while commuting to work or just out and about, you’re staying safe this winter. The darker skies and earlier nights mean making sure your headlights are bright and working is so important, queue our Auto Lighting Range keeping you safe when out on the road this winter. With our premium performance bulbs, you may even see more than you could before – with up to a 50% increase in visibility over your standard bulbs.
What about keeping cosy this winter
Whether you’ve had a long family day out or maybe just fancy a snug day in on the sofa, our Living Range boasts some brilliant approaches to keeping cosy during winter.
Take our Chunky Knit Throw, an ideal addition to any home, perfect to cuddle up under for that film day out of the rain. Not to mention being a luxurious all-year-round accessory for the couch.
A close second for us would be the Teddy Fleece Bedding, worry less about your footprint on the world by avoiding turning up the heating and just staying perfectly toasty wrapped up in the ultimate teddy. So many people opt for a day in bed over a day out once the weather worsens and we guarantee that becomes an easy decision with this bedding on board.
Keeping the cold out is the key to staying cosy, safe to say there is nothing worse than that unwelcomed draft coming through the window or even front door when you’re trying to enjoy the warmth of home. Our Thermal Blackout Curtains are a must-buy to ensure that the chill doesn’t find its way into your home this winter.
