WIX Filters received the 2017 Marketing Support award from Automotive Parts Headquarters during its annual winter conference in Brainerd, Minnesota.

“It’s always an honor to be recognized for our marketing efforts. We’ve been a longtime supplier for APH, and this is a fantastic accomplishment for the whole team,” said Jeff Blocher, director of sales for WIX. “We’re continuously thinking of new and creative ways to implement our marketing and promotional plans to support our customers, and we’re thrilled APH chose to present us with the award this year.”

The APH Marketing Support award is given to the supplier that demonstrates effective marketing tools, driving sales and offering additional support across all Auto Value store locations. The APH management team, including regional managers, vote on the recipient of this award each year.

“A few big reasons we chose WIX this year were to recognize the mobile marketing tools that we use, the farm and fleet sales day programs and their capabilities to help us with competitive changeovers,” said Tim Feddema, director of marketing at APH. “All these factors, along with the field support WIX offers, made it an easy decision.”
