WIX® Filters, a global manufacturer of filtration products, has announced an extensive lineup of sales promotions for 2015 designed to increase customer sales, raise brand awareness and connect customers with experiences involving their love for racing and the WIX brand.

Promotion highlights include the WIX Sales Day promotion, Team WIX Racing sponsorship, the popular WIX Hummer H2 mobile marketing unit and year-long social media and motorsports sweepstakes.

“Our extensive lineup of sales promotions and sweepstakes are designed to forge deeper relationships with our customers, including our WIX 10 Training Series,” said Mike Harvey, brand manager for WIX Filters. “WIX 10 is a series of 10-minute, in-person training modules with tips on WIX products and programs on four topics on light- and heavy-duty filtration.”

WIX promotions are supported by materials that detail each promotion for participating auto parts stores and distributors, including in-store posters and point-of-sale materials to help promote the programs and news releases to publicize the promotions in order to generate additional purchases and brand awareness.

The 2015 promotion schedule includes:
