Serving the Dealer Industry for over 30 years Unfortunately, a number of OEMs have recently decided to pull back their investments in auto shows — often in favor of new digital tools. And while digital’s potential for marketing is growing, the gritty reality is that many consumers require an in-person experience with a product before purchase. Luckily, OEMs don’t have to reinvent the wheel. America’s auto shows are a proven investment that pays high dividends, not just in raw sales but in brand ex- citement and customer experience—particularly when consumers are questioning whether the time is right to buy a new vehicle at all. This is why smart automakers don’t see auto shows as a relic of the past, but rather as a launchpad for their digital marketing prowess. It is true that show costs have unfortunately es- calated in recent years—as convention centers have raised rates, displays have become more sophisticated, and the cost of logistics continue to rise. But that’s no justification for throwing the baby out with the bath- water. And the brand gurus know this. There’s a big difference between expenses and investments. We hope the OEMs come back around to what dealers know and what the numbers show: Auto shows drive sales and brand loyalty. Let’s find a way to harness that reality and make auto shows work better for us. The numbers clearly tell us that showing the metal is still the best way to move the metal.  Auto dealers often must draw the line: in court, with employees and unions, and with competitors.
