January 2020 Marketing Content

Written by Stacey Moses | Dec 23, 2019 8:27:20 PM

Help your customers shake off those post-holiday blues with inspiration for outdoor winter adventures. Feature cold weather apparel to help people ride safely and comfortably in all conditions. Promote winter bike service and indoor training as great ways to bring people into the shop who might otherwise take a few months off.

Don't see marketing materials for the events or product categories that you want to promote? Want something a little less snowy to fit your climate? Reach out to our support team or your marketing account representative today - we would love to help you get what you need to increase sales online and in-store.

Winter Apparel

Help the winter warriors in your community gear up for colder rides, and show more casual riders how comfortable and enjoyable cycling in the snow can be with the right clothing. This page features outerwear, jerseys, and gloves and can be modified to meet your inventory needs.


Can be found in the Page Library under Products > Apparel Winter Cycling 

Winter Service

Encourage engagement all year long with tips and tools for bike maintenance. Suggest that riders drop off their bike now to take advantage of winter service rates and promote the purchase of lubes, cleaners, and other tools of the trade. The offseason is the perfect time for repair and restoration.

Indoor Training

We have two page options to help you promote indoor trainers this year - Saris and Wahoo. Explain the benefits of new smart trainer technology and suggest cycling shoes as a logical add-on to the trainer purchase. Take advantage of those newly committed resolutions to get fit this year!
