I
have had the opportunity and good fortune to have had a wonderful business
relationship with Kimmy Chapman, editor and owner of Biker Information
Guide for over four years. As the General Manager of Performance Chrysler
Jeep and Dodge and the owner of Envy Cycle Creations, manufacturer of
Streetwalker Exhaust Systems, one of my responsibilities is to recognize
and develop new and innovative advertising venues to introduce our business
and product lines to the motor sports enthusiasts of the State of Arizona.
Kimmy came to me early on with her concept for a magazine for motorcycle
enthusiasts that would inform and list activities throughout the State
of Arizona, feature articles on prominent and notable riders and enthusiasts
from this state, and introduce and promote businesses throughout the state
that were owned by or catered to the two wheeled motor sports enthusiasts.
It was Kimmy’s vision to build a strong contingent of advertisers
for her magazine that provided quality products or services for the motor
sports community and lastly to provide a superior magazine with content
of such value to its readers that the shelf life of the magazine would
far exceed that of her competitors. Furthermore, the cornerstone of Kimmy’s
magazine was to publish a magazine that portrayed and depicted the lifestyle
of motor sports enthusiasts as that of a solid and respected member of
the local community, instead of the outcast outlaw lifestyle depicted
by other enthusiast’s magazines. Kimmy’s personal life style
reflects her belief that the overwhelming majority of motor sports enthusiasts
are solid, and respected community members and that it time that enthusiasts
magazines paint the portrait of the majority of the sport instead of the
outlaw minority.
The business’s that I represent share
Kimmy’s vision so it was easy to come onboard as part of her advertising
foundation, but ultimately the magazine had to be a sound business decision
if we were to stay onboard for any sustained period. True to Kimmy’s
vision the Biker Information Guide took off like a rocket and Kimmy and
the Guide have never had to look back. Today the BIG regularly published
in excess of 100 pages per issue of the same quality and content as the
early publications, just more of the “good stuff” that have
made BIG the premier motor sports publication in the State of Arizona.
We’re proud to be associated with the publication and Kimmy Chapman
and as a major advertiser would sincerely offer our recommendation that
Kimmy Chapman’s magazine is an extremely credible and cost effective
tool to reach thousands of motor sports enthusiasts who by the way are
excellent consumers of industry related products.
Highest kudos’ to Kimmy Chapman and
Biker Information Guide!
Sincerely,
Terry Lee
