LOOKING TO BRING NEW BUYERS TO SEMA THIS YEAR?
A free, new tool called Exhibitor Invites enables exhibitors to create
their own customized e-mail campaign to an unlimited number of buyers and
prospects. Program features include:
• Discounts, incentives, company information and new-product announcements.
• Upload buyer and prospect files to Exhibitor Invites' bonded and licensed third-party e-mail service, Global IntelliSystems. Each list is 100% secure and will not be shared with anyone (not even SEMA).
• Company name, logo, booth number and customized message is included as part of the three separate HTML e-mails. Exhibitors approve the message and the schedule while SEMA pays for the whole thing.
The exhibitor who generates the most qualified buyers by October 1, 2010, receives $25,000 worth of on-site signage for the Show. To get started, click here. Your username is your e-mail address and your password is sema2010.
Contact Shelly Purcell at 319/521-3340 with any questions about using the Exhibitor Invites program. If you have any problems using the system, send an e-mail to services@exhibitorinvites.com.

ORDER YOUR LEAD RETRIEVAL MACHINE
SEMA has partnered once again with CompuSystems to provide you with tools for managing the entire lead retrieval process. Every attendee on the Show floor wears a badge that shows their name, title, company name and city/state. Embedded within a bar code on each badge is a great deal of key information about that attendee. CompuSystems offers a suite of lead management products and services designed to help exhibitors quickly and easily capture and qualify leads on the Show floor. Available are all types of lead retrieval needs: a handheld unit, a desktop unit with a paper printout, and a computer-based system for the more advanced user. Make the most of your investment in exhibiting at the SEMA Show, and turn your leads into sales! Simply click here or call 708/786-5565 for more information. You will need your SEMA password to access the CompuSystems dashboard. If you did not receive your exhibitor registration password via e-mail, please contact customer service at SEMA-Reg@convexx.com or call 702/450-7662, ext. 120. Once you have gained access with your password, click on the link to “Order Lead Retrieval” on your dashboard. The deadline for receiving the Advanced Early-Bird Rate is October 4, so act soon to get the best pricing.
HAVE YOU REGISTERED YOUR BOOTH PERSONNEL?
Don’t forget to register the people who are going to staff the booth—they will need a badge. Registration is available by clicking here. Free badges are available to exhibitors based on the size of their booth. Additional badges required over the allocated amount are $25 per badge. Exhibitor registration onsite is $25 per badge, regardless of any remaining allotment. Unique individual e-mail addresses are required to complete registration for booth personnel. In order to receive a badge, each registrant is required to confirm their e-mail address once registration is complete. If the e-mail is not confirmed prior to the badge mailing, the badges will be held for pick up at the Show.
If you did not receive your exhibitor registration password via e-mail, please contact customer service at SEMA-Reg@convexx.com or call 702/450-7662, ext. 120.
