LAS VEGAS NV/PITTSBURG PA (11.21.25) The Team Nutz crew of 9 departed Pittsburgh the weekend before the SEMA show started on November 4. Each of the team members had a very detailed plan for SEMA 2025. Team Nutz crew members included Ed and Nina Nuttall, Jeff Beaman, Jeff John, Tammie Hahn, Scott Olbeter, Arielle Wiener, Joe Taddy and Austin Taddy.
Over the weekend some team members enjoyed time at the local top golf and they were able to see an amazing show at the amazing Las Vegas Sphere. The weekend was not all fun however as they spent time putting the custom decals with QR code for the Do It Yourself operation on the rental van. Prior to leaving Pittsburgh the custom decals were created and sent to Vegas.
On Monday, the day before SEMA began, members of the team toured Las Vegas car shops to see exciting builds and showrooms. Some time was also spent downtown on Fremont Street.
SEMA Day 1 was very busy as members of the team split up to check out the West Hall, the Central Hall and the South Hall in addition to outside activities. There were a lot of good meetings and working with manufacturers to connect with their dealer locators… all with an intent to drive traffic into the Pittsburgh store. All working together is the key to drive traffic into the Team Nutz location.
Day 2 was spent in the North hall. Day 3 was spent circling back for appointments made from days 1 and 2. Day 4 was open to the public day and that created a different look and feel on the SEMA floor. The attendance seemed to be somewhat down that day as attendees were required to present paid pay stubs for tickets to get into the event.
The team was able to pack up and fly out on time Saturday. However there was much concern about being able to get out with all of the airport delays related to the shutdown.
On the flight back to Pittsburgh Ed Nuttall was reviewing the trip to SEMA and gave a show an overall 11 rating. He indicated he and the crew accomplished all of their goals on meetings with vendors and asking to be on dealer locators which was very successful. Seeing new products and trends plus in-person meetings contributed to the 11 rating.
During the trip back Nuttall was able to review and track the response they had from the Custom QR code on the van that was driving around the streets of Vegas along with being parked out front of a bagel shop close to the LVCC. Over 2000 scans were reported along with multiple sales.
Driving business in Pittsburg, while driving the streets of Vegas, MAX’ed the ROI from SEMA 2025!
