| | SKYJACKER | Skyjacker® Suspensions Announces a $35.00 Consumer Shock & Leveling Kit Rebate. Skyjacker is offering a $35.00 consumer rebate on all Skyjacker HYDRO H7000 Series and NITRO N8000 Series Shocks and Leveling kits. Unlike other promotions, there is no paperwork to be filled out by you, the dealer. It is simple and hassle free, just sell the Skyjacker HYDRO & NITRO shocks and leveling kits. When a consumer purchases four HYDRO or four NITRO shocks or a leveling kit and two HYDRO or two NITRO shocks, they (not you) fill out and send in the official rebate form, the shock box and leveling kit flaps with UPC codes and part numbers, and a copy of their invoice to Skyjacker for a $35.00 rebate. Skyjacker does the rest. There really is no hassle for you as a dealer. You do not have to give a consumer anything for free and you will still be selling 4 shocks or a leveling kit and 2 shocks at the normal selling price. The consumer gets a $35.00 check back direct from Skyjacker. Full Size Posters and Counter Top Point of Purchase Displays are free for the asking and available direct from Skyjacker. This new and exciting promotion will run from March 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010. If you have any questions about this rebate, visit www.skyjacker.com/shockrebate. (BJ)
