Take advantage of extra coverage & bonus distribution
Many of our monthly issues focus on pre- and post-conference/convention coverage—some with bonus distribution on the convention floor. Our subscribers—the fleet managers who authorize the purchase of products and services just like yours—turn to Trailer/Body Builders for details on upcoming industry events and to read about what went on at these meetings.
Exhibitors—Drive traffic to your booth
When exhibiting at these shows, draw visitors to your booth by scheduling ads in the Trailer/Body Builders issues leading up to the show. Promote your plans to be at the exhibition so attendees will know to look for your company. Then, advertise in post-show “convention coverage” issues to strengthen the contacts you made, and to promote your products to interested prospects who were unable to attend and depend on Trailer/Body Builders’ show coverage for information.
Compete for customer attention
Whether your company exhibits or not, our show coverage issues provide a continuing sales opportunity after the last booth has been packed away. Putting your sales message in Trailer/Body Builders is an excellent way to reach this audience.
