FastDates.com Calendars Phone 1-818-223-8550 Dealer POP A great sales tool for easy customer viewing and and impulse buying. Reminds your dealer to reorder when it's empty. Calendar Marketing Tips 1. Include Both the Current and Upcoming (2) years of the FastDates.com Calendars 2. DO NOT Emphasize the Calendar's Year in your annual parts catalog. 3. Remember, our Calendars are 16-month calendars beginning in September, to help you and the dealer maintain a strong sell through all year long. You want to get the new Calendars into your dealers starting in July preceding the Cover Year. Always Begin promoting the new season calendars on July 1st in your dealer supplements and mailers, retail advertising and through your sales reps. 5. OR BETTER YET: We think the best way for Distributors to sell Calendars is to automatically ship each of your dealers (5-10) calendars on consignment August 1st, with delayed 90 days invoicing. We bet they will have sold out by then. And on the small chance they have a few copies left, they can choose to pay, keep and sell the remaining balance or return them undamaged freight collect to you to sell elsewhere. 6. Offer your dealers a Free POP Calendar Counter top display with their initial 10 calendar order. This puts the Calendars out front in their store where customers can see and impulse buy them. 7. On December 1st you need to up sell / close out any remaining the new season's Calendars. Dealers will stop ordering them after Christmas, and customers will stop buying then come March 1st of the Calendar year. So the goal is to under order first off, then move out any remaining Calendar inventory by December 1st even if it means reducing the price to your cost. 8. Come January if you have leftovers, you might also want to include a calendar, not charge, in each large outgoing dealer order. ORDER CONSERVATIVELY to Sell Our Early. BOOKMARK THIS PAGE!

Order online world-wide at http://www.FastDates.com. http://www.FastDates.com/Distributor/FD91.Cover6in.jpg Press Release Los Angeles, CA, August 1st 2009 - It's been 20 years since motorsports racing and fashion photographer Jim Gianatsis first produced the Fast Dates Racebike Swimsuit Model PinUp Calendar. The first 1991 edition of the then Mikuni Fast Dates Calendar premiered in the summer of 1990 featuring a then unknown Playboy Playmate on the cover named Pamela Anderson, posing in a pink bikini in the saddle of Miguel Duhamel's Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R750L AMA Superbike. Then published by Mikuni American, the Calendar was used as a marketing promotion to showcase all the top racing bikes of the time which used Mikuni carburetors. Since then the Calendar has featured all the world's top racing motorcycles from Wayne Rainey to Valentino Rossi's MotoGP winners, and the World Superbikes of Doug Polen to Troy Bayliss. A little know fact, but there actually were earlier Mikuni Calendars, but the public never got to see them. In the 1980s Mikuni purchased pre printed nude model calendars from a printer in Japan imprinted them with Mikuni's company name, and sent them out to distributors and friends at Christmas time. Gianatsis Design became Mikuni American's ad agency in 1987 and Jim convinced them it might be fun to publish their own nude calendar and incorporate the Mikuni carburetors in the pictures. The first original Mikuni Calendar was published for 1990 and featured Jim's photo of Playboy Playmate Terri Lynn Doss on the cover holding a Mikuni carburetor, while inside they continued with stock photos of nude models. The calendar was advertised in in Cycle News that fall and sold out the complete print run. For 1991 Jim and Mikuni's sales manager Lee Chapin wanted to try and offer them retail in motorcycle dealers through Mikuni distributors, but they knew nude pinup model calendars couldn't be sold in a family visited motorcycle dealerships, so the new 1991 Fast Dates Calendar was photographed with all the models in swimsuits or lingerie with top racing bikes that used Mikuni carburetors and Fast Dates was born. In successive years other Mikuni Calendars were made for their other markets: Berm Busters motocross, Hot Waves personal watercraft, Iron & Lace custom bikes, Ripped Pavement roadracing action and Garage Girls pinups. Over the years as the markets have changed, and swimsuit calendars have become less acceptable in America culture, some of those titles have come and gone, and Mikuni American turned over their Calendar program to Gianatsis Design. Now known as the FastDates.com Calendars, for Calendars are home to the world's most popular swimsuit model and motorcycle themed website featuring custom streetbike, sportbike, beautiful model and racing news, tuning performance, books and movies, and photo features. The Calendars have achieved a strong world-wide marketing program and fan base. And Calendar in turn have spun off the annual LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend each July, now in its 18th year, America's premier streetbike event weekend. For 13 years the Fast Dates racebike calendar has been the official calendar of SBK World Superbike Championship, and the Calendar Kittens often serve as the official grid girls for the World Championship winning Ducati Corse team.
