i spent most of the day in some really great online marketing seminars geared towards automtive aftermarket companies.  i am back at my hotel room starting to digest the information i got.

what really struck me today was a product i stumbled upon at the very end of the day.  a clear film that is installed to the exterior of the windshield that prevents rock damage altogether.  here is a product i think we will be able to use.  primarily, i think fleet accounts will benefit the most from this product or other vehicles with expensive windshields or heavy users.

for now…i’m thinking sushi.  stay tuned for more later

Yakima Wintersports Kickback Ski and Snowboard Roof Rack Rebate

this is a really great deal, especially now since all of the yakima ski racks, like the fat cat 6 and the fat cat 4 include locks and keys and mounting hardware that will attach to yakima, thule and even factory installed crossbars. 

we’ve been really big fans of these 2 racks over the past couple of year too.  they’ve got great capacity, especially when you’re carrying fatter skis.  
probably the best value of the the whole campaign is the yakima powderhound – a staple ski rack for many years.  it too comes with locks, keys and mounting hardware and at only $99 after mail-in rebate is a great way to get going with up to 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards, carried base to base.  if you need a little more space, check out the yakima 3081 big powderhound at $129.00 after the mail-in rebate.

the rebate is super easy to do, just download the coupon, and mail in a copy of your receipt from cracksandracks.com.  no hoops to jump through, no notarizing documents and no red tape.  the way things should be.
