“Regardless of the economic climate, getting your brand, your products, your services in front of the people that make up your core customer base is vital. And the SEMA Show is the greatest vehicle for reaching that goal. For four days, both exhibitors and attendees are focused on one thing only and that’s finding ways of succeeding together in the coming year.
It’s important to debut new products and to meet new customers, but it’s equally important to reconnect with existing customers away from the day-to-day business relationship and remind them that they’re continued support is appreciated. In a larger sense, just being at the show with a creative display, exciting products and a positive attitude sends the message that while business has slowed, we’re still here, we’re still succeeding, and if you stick with us we can help you do the same.”
