B$Z: Founding AIMExpo Participant Yamaha Returns for 2015
March 19, 2015
The innovative structure of AIMExpo offers exhibitors the unique opportunity to closely interact with trade, media and consumer attendees throughout the world of powersports in one desirable setting. With its expanded presence in 2014, Yamaha globally debuted seven new dirt, sport and cruiser models; hosted meetings and receptions with its nationwide dealer network and national sales staff; offered exclusive demo rides of motorcycle, ATV and Side x Side products at AIMExpo Outdoors!; and engaged with domestic and international media attendees inside the Media Hub.
“Yamaha is indeed pleased
to have chosen AIMExpo's highly effective medium to introduce and display our
new Motorcycles, ATV’s, Side x Sides and Scooters since the show’s inception,
and we are very excited to return for the third consecutive year!” said Bob
Starr, General Manager of Yamaha’s Communication Division. “Both their platform
and the timing of the event has enabled Yamaha to launch new product to the
media, while energizing both dealers and consumers with a full display of our
entire powersports lineup. The ability to also demo key models to both dealers
and consumers adds a highly desirable element for Yamaha to further showcase
our brand. We’re looking forward to returning to Orlando in October!”
Once again, Yamaha is developing plans that will bring its latest models to
AIMExpo for all to see. This includes public debuts of key models that will
soon be arriving in dealership showrooms. Advance previews like this, as well
as the opportunity to demo a variety of products and interact face-to-face with
brand representatives, are just a few of the enticing reasons for dealers and
consumers alike to mark AIMExpo 2015 on their calendars.
“Over the last two years Yamaha has taken full advantage of the comprehensive
platform AIMExpo provides to fully engage with the powersports media, dealers
and consumers,” said Larry Little, Vice President & General Manager,
Motorcycle Group. “The manner in which Yamaha has embraced and leveraged
AIMExpo in its first two years has been impressive. We’re working hard to
provide them, as well as the greater powersports industry, with the stage and
the tools to continually transform the way they effectively interact with all
facets of the industry in one place at one time.”

In 2014, the AIMExpo 3-Way Giveaway promotion returned and included the chance for one lucky winner to ride off on a custom Star Bolt motorcycle. Complementing the Bolt giveaway was an eye-catching lineup of custom Bolt motorcycles that was on full display for all to see inside Yamaha’s expansive booth on the show floor. Yamaha’s 2015 footprint will be equally impressive and again feature its full range of diverse, industry-leading on- and off-road products.
