• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spyder Bucks?

I made my card and hand it out, and get gifts cards for parts.

I think you've thought of a way we can all help BRP promote their product and help ourselves at the same time ! Excellent idea !
 
I echo all of the above comments. Had my spyder one week and put over 400 miles on it all along the way talking to at least 25 people about the bike and how to get one. One thing I DO PROMOTE is this WEBSITE. A big thanks to LAMONSTER and all his hard work providing a place for all of us to learn and exchange information and ideas. My statement is this..."if ya really wanna learn about this bike and all the in and outs of it...sign up on SpyderLovers.com and you will get all the info you ever need". When they take a second look at me I reassure them its not a PORN site....not that kind of LOVERs. hahahahah
 
What do you guys think of this idea?

You know the Spyder team sends a big truck out all around the country pushing the Spyder. I'm sure they generate a lot of sales by doing so but it cost them some big bucks too.

Here's my idea. This is a ruff idea how it would work but you'll get the jest of it. When you buy a Spyder you get some cards with a place to put your name as a owner on it and maybe part of your VIN number. These cards could be used to hand out to potential Spyder buyers.

I agree with ataDude. Could be easier on BRP if it was just a download that we could print out ourselves...

The card could say something like hand this card to your dealer at time of purchase for a free "___________" Not sure what the free thing is yet but it could be a hat or shirt or something like that. Then the dealer would add your name and vin number to the sale and turn it in to BRP and you would get Spyder Bucks that could go toward any BRP Spyder products.

This would motivate you to promote the product and you would get a reward for doing so. I know I've sold quite a few Spyders since I got mine and it would be nice if I got a little something for my time. Who's a better salesman than the end user?

So what do you guys think? Is this a win-win-win? :doorag::spyder:

I don't see how BRP could lose. Considering the effort they went to and the appreciation they showed during the Valcourt Homecoming (really, now--has anyone had a company treat them that well for buying their product??!), it fits with that customer appreciation AND it could keep a bit of the enthusiasm going for us until the next homecoming ride!

I agree. This makes good sense. Also, making this come from BRP instead of a certain dealer just makes it that much better, as long as they can administer the program in a timely manner. Then we can "sell" Spyders anywhere in the U.S., Canada, or wherever and get our Spyder Bucks to spend at any dealership instead of being locked into a program that is only good at our local dealer.
 
BRP provided owners with a pack of DVD's to hand out to interested potential customers. I'm all for the "card" idea. It would work better if we also had additional DVD's to give with the card ! A picture is worth 1000 words.

I think this is a great idea! I for one would much more want to spend the time playing "20 questions" if BRP would reward my salesmanship for their product.

I think it's a great idea....in fact if BRP does not do it I am going to tell everyone NOT to get a Spyder and I hate mine!! J/k just thought BRP could use some incentive.:joke:
 
I may have just sold three more today. Man I wish we had a Spyder Bucks program going.:doorag::spyder:nojoke
 
I WOULDN'T MIND IT. I BET I PASSED OUT ABOUT 40 BUSINESS CARDS FROM THE DEALER. I TOLD THE GUY IF HE SELLS ANY THAT I WAN'T FREE MAINTANCE OR SOMETHING. DOUT THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN. BUT THIS PROGRAM WOULD BE NICE.:2thumbs:
 
I think this is a fantastic idea! Let's go BRP, make it happen!

Its a WIN WIN situation. :thumbup:

1) BRP wins more customers (and makes more money)
2) The nearby dealers sell more Spyders (and THEY make more money)
3) The referrer gets "Spyder Money" to buy more BRP accessories or parts pouring more money back to BRP and the dealers.
