The Kickstart program allows manufacturers to draw attention to their new products at Dealer Expo. From the initial entries, the field is narrowed to 25 finalists, where a judging committee made up of retailers and buyers choose the 10 products they feel will have the biggest impact on the upcoming selling season. That is capped by the product selected by the committee as the “Kickstart New Product of the Year”. The 2010 honorees are presented below.
