The agreement between Cycle Trader and Yamaha empowers dealers to launch a marketing strategy aimed at growing their brand recognition, gaining exposure for their units, and driving leads more affordably through Cycle Trader’s marketing solutions. 

“The success of our dealers is at the core of our business,” stated Nicole Schantz, Vice President of OEM and Strategic Partnerships at Trader Interactive. “This agreement with Yamaha will allow our clients to focus on managing their business while we support marketing their brand.” 

As the industry continues to evolve and customer needs change, Cycle Trader and Yamaha once again teamed up to ensure its partnership is the strongest offering for dealers to take advantage of. This co-op is a powerhouse in large part due to Cycle Trader’s spot as a marketplace leader providing:

• Largest audience of qualified buyers with 1 in 4 site-generated leads turning into buyers
• Top-notch lead enrichment programs
• A seasoned co-op team to guide the journey
• A hands-off co-op submission process 

 “We want our dealers to spend their co-op dollars effectively and efficiently. Cycle Trader is providing our dealers with options that meet these goals,” said Martin Vivanco, Dealer Network Strategy Manager for the Yamaha Motorsports group. “Most customers begin their purchase journey online and Cycle Trader is helping to amplify the Yamaha dealer presence in this arena.”

As a result of co-op partnerships with Cycle Trader, Yamaha dealers utilizing the program thus far have seen 28% more search result page views, 43% more vehicle detail page views per listing, and a 14% increase in email leads.
