SHREVEPORT, LA (01.21.2021) – Saying Goodbye to 2020 was easy… very easy.
As the sun rose on Friday, January 1st 2021, we all began a New Year. Even though that marked a New Year the world, and the 12volt industry, continued to face major COVID-19 challenges and more carried over from 2020. Each individual and company must move forward in light of their respective resources at hand.
The 12volt News has charted a course of continuing to deliver positive news to the 12volt industry. With no in-person CES, and the traditional spring distributor show circuit in limbo, we are moving forward with The 12volt News Show. A presence in The 12volt News Show will provide a venue for vendors to showcase their products to members of the 12volt industry. The 12volt News Show will also be a vehicle for distributors put their products and activities in front of dealers in their respective territories.
The 12volt News Show is an extension of the 12volt Central Studios activities in Shreveport, LA.
The recent All-Digital CES2021 certainly provided an enormous amount of Consumer Electronics content to virtual attendees reached around the world. Participation from 12volt ‘exhibitors’ was minimal at best. Members of the 12volt industry for the most part did not pony up the $150. to register for the All Digital CES 2021.
The 12volt News Show, like 12volt Central Studios, will utilize image-based presentations to showcase new products. Products and activities will be posted on 12voltnews.com and @12voltnews on Instagram and Facebook. Company supplied press releases will be posted on 12voltnews.com which has been the norm for now 27 years.
With a personal 12volt history, dating back to the early 1970’s, I know how important it is to be informed about what’s happening across the 12volt industry. That history includes the retail sales floor, VP of Marketing for a multiple outlet retailer, distributor principal, rep, manufacturer and publishing. That history is also marked by attending nearly 50 CES shows beginning in the 70’s with summer and winter events at McCormick Place in Chicago.
The in-personal CES, along with in-person SEMA, are historically terrific industry events. Not only to see, touch and experience new products but to connect with fellow 12volt and automotive enthusiasts. We all long for the days when safe and productive in-person events will return.
12volt Vendors can put their product(s) in The 12volt News Show with an email or by utilizing the 12voltSTP Tool. With a smartphone Snap and Txt of an image to 318-465-0844. Presto, your company’s products and activities could be in The 12volt News Show.
The 12voltBeat Newsletter, celebrating 9 years, is emailed twice weekly to over 5000 industry members with fresh industry news… including news from The 12Volt News Show.
Much more to come as business moves forward in 2021.
