SHREVEPORT, LA (12.24.2024) – We truly wish all across the 12volt industry a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Season 2024.
During this time of the year we wanted to take time to thank all across the 12volt industry for their support, encouragement and business in 2024 as we continue to work each day to showcase positives across the 12volt industry.
The year 2024 continued to be an uncertain time in the world and 12volt industry with so many changing factors in play. In many cases inventory supply issues were resolved in 2024 but high inflation continued to impact consumer spending on non-essentials. Many brick and mortar retailers are stocked but are not seeing the sales spike from previous year’s stimulus checks. Increases in online spending continues impact the brick and mortar 12volt marketplace as well. Black Friday and Cyber Monday online sales again reached record levels.
Work is now underway as Las Vegas prepares for CES 2025. The presence of 12volt companies planning to exhibit seems to reach a new low each year as CES continues to be known as a gadget show. Travel concerns and associated expenses also continue to impact in-person trade show attendance.
The Christmas tree is up in the 12volt Central Studios. From the 12volt Central Studios, we encourage all to evaluate their situation and play to their strengths. Build on your company’s strengths and highlight the positives in your every day activities. Manufacturers, Distributors, Rep Firms and Retailers alike must work to inform and connect to showcase their products to consumers. Consumers must be informed about our products and the positive ways those products can add to their in-vehicle safety and enjoyment experiences.
Let’s all work to make a bigger pie for all to share across the 12volt industry.
We look forward to continuing to showcase positives from companies across the 12volt industry in 2025 and beyond.
