Kenwood Launches Consumer Rebate Program In Partnership With Garmin

May 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Dave Hoag, Director of Sales for the Consumer Electronics Sector of Kenwood USA, said “Retailers across the country have benefitted greatly from the sales of in-dash navigation products through increased ASP and more profit dollars.  Kenwood has led the charge over the past few years, and for 2010 we have partnered again with Garmin in delivering a proven rebate program that is sure to drive consumers to authorized Kenwood dealers.”  

The rebate program begins May 1 and ends August 31, placing the promotion in the middle of the busiest retail period of the car audio selling season in most areas of the country.  Rebate amounts range from $100 to $150 depending on the specific Kenwood model.  

Participating Kenwood dealers receive a merchandising kit containing in-store materials such as a countertop display containing rebate coupons, product “danglers” that are attached directly to the qualifying product, a mobile that hangs from the ceiling, and a full-size poster announcing the promotion details.  Kenwood also offers banner ads for online promotion and a web-link to a dedicated section of the Kenwood USA website for consumers to download rebate coupons.  Dealers can craft their own advertisements for the promotion by downloading merchandising images from the Kenwood USA website.  

“This year’s consumer rebate program delivers a significant incentive, designed to ease the step from a bare bones in-dash model, or portable GPS unit, into a full-featured premium navigation/entertainment system,” said Hoag.   “Kenwood navigation products offer superior features including premium displays, enhanced iPod, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, high performance audio/video capabilities and the latest navigation technology from Garmin, built-in.  Over the years, the pairing of Kenwood and Garmin has proven to be an unbeatable combination and this rebate program delivers unbeatable savings making the step-to-the-best a little easier.”  

Rebate Program Duration:  May 1 through August 31, 2010
