Brand Loyalty Schemes
Feel like your bank account got hit by a gas pump? The Conklin brand fuel additives can help reduce the damage.
Fuel additives that truly work save you money. A clean and properly lubricated engine will last longer and have fewer issues. Conklin vehicle products have a proven record to improve performance and reduce expenses.
Conklin brand fuel additives do the following:
- clean your entire fuel system
- increase mileage
- reduce maintenance costs
- reduce cold starts for diesel engines
- reduce the need for glow plugs in diesel engines
- better starting for all engines
Clean fuel is important for all engine types and provides a much cleaner and smoother driving experience.
You may think the benefits of using fuel additives in a newer engine are not as apparent compared to a higher mileage engine but results have shown that mileage increased even in newer engines.
Most customers report a 10% or more increase in miles per gallon when using the Conklin brand fuel additives regardless of the age of the engine. The following chart shows estimated net savings. These estimates do not account for savings in maintenance and mechanic costs.
Using Conklin brand fuel additives will:
- improve your driving experience
- Lubricate your engine
- protect your fuel system
- maintain your vehicle
- maintain cleaner air
- protect the environment
- produce less waste
As an authorized Conklin distributor, we are as transparent as possible with the products that we offer. This is why we test these products and show you the results which you can see in the video below.
The following video shows a comparison of five different fuel additives:
While Conklin’s fuel additives are essential for your everyday engines and hotrods, customers have also reported that their lawnmowers are easier to start after the winter season when using Conklin fuel additives.
My lawnmower engine started on the first pull and I didn’t have to flush the carburetor this Spring when mowing season started thanks to Conklin fuel additives.
Furthermore, most brands claim their products work in both gasoline and diesel engines. The chemical makeup should be different for each engine type. Gasoline and diesel fuel should have separate and specialized additives.
Limited knowledge and access to testing materials makes it easy for companies like Seafoam, Lucas, Gumout, Techron, and STP to sell ineffective products and get away with their scams. You can see in the video above that the products being compared against the Conklin brand are practically useless. The Conklin brand is the only one that actually works.
Lack of testing and transparency also gives companies like Seafoam, Lucas, Gumout, Techron, and STP the leverage to convince you to sign up for their loyalty programs for their useless products. The difference between these brands is overly apparent in the video above.
Those companies rely on the placebo effect to sell you their bottles of mere octane boosters while the Conklin brand is actually performing as promised on the label.
Brand loyalty programs basically scammed brand loyalists by 7.8 billion dollars in 2021 and it will grab them even harder by 2030. They expect a 10.5% growth per year from 2022 to 2030 according to the Grand View Research firm. Their graph below gives a relative visual for software and services.
Not all Loyalty programs are bad but they do target your buying behavior and attempt to get into your wallet with manipulative enticements; and, in the end, you find yourself used and with an empty purse.
Joining a loyalty program to acquire a fifty-cent coupon that requires you to spend a dollar is not saving at all. But most of us have fallen for those kinds of brand loyalty schemes at some point in our lifetime.
Whether it’s food, medications, or automobile products, all of us have our favorite brands that we guard with Yoda’s saber skills. A Force to behold. One should certainly hesitate to try any random brand of cereal that Jedediah churned up with his Amish corn milling machine but many store brands are produced by the same manufacturer as famous brands, and are worth trying.
A couple of examples include the Walmart brand, Great Value, peanut butter which is made by Peter Pan and their Great Value pretzels are made by H. K. Anderson according to Hip2Save.
I once took a tour of the famous Anderson Pretzel factory. Imagine my surprise when they stopped the machines and changed the bags for the pretzels to Great Value bags, then continued on! So, you can pay big for H.K. Anderson pretzels in an Anderson Pretzel bag, or you can pay a little for Anderson Pretzels in a Great Value bag!
The Kirkland brand coffee from Costco is roasted by Starbucks but we reach past it for the Starbucks packaging that contains the exact same product at a higher cost.
We won’t touch many brands because of peer pressure, family traditions, and social opinion.
We are free to make up our own minds or use what momma suggests but it becomes limiting when the taste of a product is determined by how it’s packaged, priced, and named.
A pharmacist will laugh at you for contemplating the purchase of a famous brand versus a store brand of pills when both brands have the same ingredients but he might not know that the generic brand doesn’t work for some people. Of course, it’s only psychological but it works that way for most things we do in life, which includes the experiences we have with fuel additives.
The placebo effect certainly works with us when using automotive products. So much so that we buy things that don’t work just because our mind says it works.
It’s called brand loyalty in marketing books. But I find that mindset to be a bit shallow and limiting.
Companies are improving products on a daily basis but we will reach past the new product to get the old stuff just because we are loyal. Loyal to a multibillion-dollar scheme that knows and cares nothing about us. Their level of care is reflected in their products that don’t work. You can see it in the video above.
The same placebo effect of food products and medications is also at work with products we purchase for our vehicles. I was convinced by friends that Lucas is the best brand. In my mind, Lucas’s fuel additives were so good that I only needed to pour a small bottle into my tank of gas every year or so regardless of how many miles I had driven. Sometimes I tried other random brands out of curiosity. In my mind, they all worked but Lucas was the best. It’s not even logical that I could instantly feel a difference in engine performance regardless of what product I poured into my tank. It was all in my mind.
Ultimately the effectiveness of the fuel additives that I purchased was determined by packaging, price, and name brand just like the taste of peanut butter or a pretzel is controlled by the name and packaging. There are parents that buy generic products for their children and put the products in name-brand containers to save money because the kids will only like the name brand.
When it comes to brand loyalty to a product that our engine consumes, we need data and facts for our brand to be reputable.
I urge you to extend your ability and diversity beyond the brands you have seen on Walmart shelves and try the Conklin brand. Not only does the Conklin brand live up to its promises, but the Conklin manufacturer is also committed to updating and improving its products.
