Crazy Lenny's Partnership Outreach
Overview
As part of Crazy Lenny's broader local marketing strategy, Asymmetric initiated a partnership outreach campaign targeting businesses in the Madison area that could cross-promote with the e-bike shop. Steve Lindenau approved a list of potential partners, and initial outreach was completed prior to the March 23, 2026 weekly sync.
The goal is to establish mutually beneficial referral or co-promotion arrangements with complementary local businesses — particularly those whose customers overlap with the active, outdoor-oriented e-bike demographic.
Outreach Status (as of 2026-03-23)
| Partner | Status |
|---|---|
| Yoga studio | ✅ Interested — follow-up needed |
| Brewery | ✅ Interested — follow-up needed |
| Arboretum | ❌ Declined ("not at this time") |
| Unknown contact | ❌ Declined ("not right now") |
| Remaining contacts | ⏳ No response yet — follow-up due by ~2026-03-30 |
Two of the approved contacts responded positively. Both the yoga studio and a local brewery expressed initial interest in "something," though no specifics have been discussed yet. Two others (the Arboretum and one unnamed contact) declined. The remaining unresponsive contacts are due for a follow-up within one week of the March 23 meeting.
Key Decisions
- Continue pursuing the yoga studio and brewery leads — Karly to advance these conversations.
- Accept declines from Arboretum and the other non-interested contact — no further follow-up planned.
- Follow up with unresponsive contacts by approximately March 30, 2026.
