Maximizing your time at NRCC 2015

Maximizing your time at NRCC 2015

Planning makes for perfect trade show attendance.

The Northeast Regional Carwash Convention (NRCC) 2015 show will feature education-packed seminars, informative business building sessions, innovative products on display and, of course, an opportunity to network with thousands of like-minded carwash industry professionals regarding your most challenging business needs. What else can you ask for under one roof?

And, the roof for NRCC 2015 is bigger compared to previous years. Aimed at holding more attendees and providing spacious areas of communication and trade show floor navigation, the convention has moved into the Atlantic City Convention Center. Dubbed as being “Bigger. Better. Be There!” by NRCC organizers, there is a lot of action crunched into the three-day event.

For more particulars about the events scheduled for this year at NRCC 2015, check out the Schedule of Events section in our Exhibit Product Guide (EPG), which also includes an exhibitor directory, a floor plan and much more. If you are attending the show and would like a free recent copy (or copies) of Professional Carwashing & Detailing or the Exhibit Product Guide, please stop by our Booth #300. You can also find our EPG here.

Furthermore, sign up at our booth to receive Professional Carwashing & Detailing and any of its online products, including our new Startup eNews Weekly, scheduled to begin in January 2016.

Focus on education

An overriding theme for any trade show, regardless of industry or size, is always education. For NRCC 2015, according to its chair David DuGoff, organizers have teamed up with top industry and business minds to offer a dynamic event once again.

But, planning is key to maximizing your time this year. Make sure to do your due diligence leading up to the show and develop a plan to ensure you are able to stop by the booths you want to visit most and attend the seminars you want to sit in on.

Attending industry trade shows is one way to ensure your marketplace awareness and your employees’ skill sets remain at top performance levels. In addition to reviewing new and popular products and equipment, exhibitors have plenty of technical, marketing and sales representatives ready to answer any and all of your questions to the best of their ability.

So, do you have a plan in place? And, have you discussed how best to spend your time at the show with any team members you are bringing along? Even if you wait until the show, it is never too late to start planning.

Maximizing your time and efforts with a detailed schedule helps to stay focused, keep track of appointments, outline a strategy and serve as a record for your files after the show has concluded.

What’s new with Professional Carwashing & Detailing

While on the trade show floor, as mentioned, you will surely be exposed to the most advanced carwashing and detailing equipment and products available. Manufacturers and exhibitors have been gearing up for this event and many are sure to launch, promote and display new products at the show.

And, Professional Carwashing & Detailing is no exception.

Over the past year, our publication has revamped and upgraded its website, Carwash.com, in order to feature more exclusive content, multimedia resources and special online products, including:

  • Videos
  • Podcasts
  • Blogs
  • Polls
  • Improved Online Buyers Guide
  • Growing portfolio of e-newsletters
  • More product information and much more.

But wait, there’s more

These features are just the tip of the iceberg. We are also advancing our efforts in search engine optimization (SEO) with a new content management system and have become more mobile friendly in recent months. Like many of the exhibitors at NRCC 2015, all these changes were made as a result of customer demand and interest. Simply put, we know our readers require a combination of print and online solutions in a variety of ways.

With our ongoing commitment to investing in new technology, we will stay ahead of the curve and be there to serve you regardless of when you meet us there. Still, as a proactive industry resource, we know we can serve your business needs better. Again, we would love to hear from you at the show, so be sure to stop by Booth #300 and tell us what you like and what you don’t.

More features online and in print will be added leading up to and into 2016, including the aforementioned Startup eNews Weekly, aimed at informing the growing group of new investors entering the carwash industry. This e-newsletter will contain carwash-specific technical and how-to information as well as business and management content. It will feature podcasts and videos as well.

Are you a new investor in this industry and would you like to be included in an upcoming Startup eNews Weekly? If so, be sure to stop by our booth or email us with your interest.

Whether you are looking for a specific supplier, reviewing the day’s headlines, searching for past news or articles, or looking to stay current on the latest trends and shifts in the carwashing world, Carwash.com currently offers these experiences and much more.
