Monroe brings back ‘Shocktober’ program for fall

The Monroe shocks and struts brand of Tenneco Inc. announced the return of the Monroe Shocktober promotion program, including a valuable installer retailer gift card promotion and a corresponding consumer mail-in rebate, during the busy fall selling season.

From September 1 through October 31, 2010, automotive service professionals can earn up to $120 in retailer gift cards for qualifying sales of Monroe products through the Shocktober promotion.

“This promotion is ideal: premium products, exciting rewards and a busy fall selling season,” said Sheryl Bomia, North America programs manager, Tenneco.

Participants who sell 40 pairs of qualifying premium ride control products will earn a $120 Monroe retailer gift card. Participants who complete 10, 20 or 30 pairs of qualifying sales during the promotional period can earn retailer gift cards of $30, $60 or $90, respectively. There are no limits to the rewards a shop owner, service writer or technician can earn through the promotion. Monroe is also offering a consumer promotion called “Shocktober” that rewards motorists who purchase four qualifying ride control products with a mail-in rebate for the lowest cost unit (up to the current Monroe and/or Rancho suggested list price).

Monroe products included in the promotion are Monroe Reflex shocks (911000 and 911500 series); Monroe Reflex struts (931000, 932000 and 941000 series); Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks (5600, 5700, 5900, 37000, 39000 and 58000 series); Monroe Sensa-Trac struts and cartridges (71000, 72000, 73000, 139000, 171000, 172000 and 271000 series); and Monroe Gas-Magnum shocks (34000 series).
