Yokohama offering $60 or a Chelsea shirt to consumers

In the US, Yokohama Tire Corporation (YTC) is offering consumers either a new 2016-2017 Chelsea Football Club (FC) shirt or a $60-$80 Yokohama Visa Prepaid card after purchasing a set of four select Yokohama tyres (including the new Geolandar A/T G015).

“There is a huge following of soccer enthusiasts and Chelsea fans in the U.S.,” said Alan Holtschneider, YTC director of marketing, “and that’s why we think this will be a great promotion for dealers and consumers. This is the earliest opportunity for fans to get the new Chelsea jersey and buy some exceptional tires as well. Or they can get a prepaid gift card. Either way, it’s a win-win deal.”

The precise amount offered depends on the tyres bough. The full $80 amount is reserve for the Advan Neova, AD08R and Advan A048.

The promotion runs between now and 4 June.

Tyres & Accessories asked Yokohama representatives if a similar deal will be run in the UK. The short answer is “no”. A spokesperson explained that this promotion is currently only aimed at the US market. However, the firm is said to be considering “similar options” in the UK.
