Bosch Teams Up with McDonald’s for Gift Certificate Promotion

Robert Bosch Corp. has teamed up with McDonald's restaurant to offer a $5 McDonald's gift certificate with the purchase of two Bosch Micro Edge Excel Wiper Blades. The mail-in form for the $5 McDonald's gift certificate can be obtained at participating retail auto parts stores that sell Bosch Micro Edge Excel Wiper Blades.

BROADVIEW, IL — Robert Bosch Corp. has teamed up with McDonald’s restaurant to offer a $5 McDonald’s gift certificate with the purchase of two Bosch Micro Edge Excel Wiper Blades. The mail-in form for the $5 McDonald’s gift certificate can be obtained at participating retail auto parts stores that sell Bosch Micro Edge Excel Wiper Blades.

“It’s easy to see where the idea for our wiper blade promotion came from,” says Pam Krebs, director of advertising and sales promotion for Robert Bosch Corp. “All you need do is look at all of the vehicles lining up at McDonald’s drive-thru windows, everywhere, to know that Bosch’s $5 McDonald’s gift certificate offer is a natural tie-in between two industry leaders.”

“To ensure good road visibility, wiper blades should be replaced every six months,” said Krebs. “Even if drivers don’t need a new set of wiper blades this very minute, you know they are going to need to replace them within the year. So it makes sense for them to pick up two Micro Edge Excel Wiper Blades now during the promotional period and get a mail-in certificate for a $5 McDonald’s gift certificate.”

The mail-in certificate offer is available from participating retail auto parts stores through April 30, or while supplies last. The form can also be downloaded online at www.boschusa.com . All requests must be postmarked by May 15, 2004 and received by May 31, 2004. Complete details on the offer can be found in the mail-in certificate offer form.

Despite a tough commercial tire market in 2023 due to overstock and the effects of a rubber-banding supply chain, some tire manufacturers are expressing a cautious optimism for stabilization and gradual recovery through the rest of 2024 and into 2025.

"The economy is not showing signs that it’s going to slow down, but I don’t think the situation’s going to improve dramatically by the end of this year. It’s more likely next year," said Pierluigi Cumo, Vice President of B2B products, at Michelin North America. "We can see the light because the beginning of 2023 was very bad. I think now we’ve found the bottom, and I don’t think we’re going to get much further from the bottom in 2024."
