The large PowerBass North Hall booth was busy throughout the show.

Erik Harbour, PowerBass VP, comment “The 2024 Show Show was a great success! The booth remained packed every single day with dealers and distributors from across the US and all around the globe! The international business presence was greatly increased over past years, and the quality of meetings seemed to show a great 2025 ahead of us all. The Mahara Customs and Zams Audio Camaro was a hit. On Friday it kept the booth packed with the SEMA Experience consumers enjoying the tunes. Thanks from all of us at PowerBass to all of those that stopped by to see us at the show.”

Safe and Sound recently made this social media post of their new van ready to hit the road in the UK.

Lee Glover offered “The SEMA Show for me was about building relationships with people we only talk to by message and emails. Not only to work, but socializing with them and having a great time with business partners at SEMA was terrific. We now consider them friends. We are looking forward to it a new expansion of our business and with PowerBass as well for 2025 and beyond. I can sum up the trip to SEMA in one word… UNBELIEVABLE!”

Kamal Sokhi of Kam ICE offered “The SEMA Show was an eye-opener, with all of the products and new innovation that the UK is missing currently. For us this was about not only building business relationships, but also making our friendship stronger with many that we have worked with for so long as well as forming new contacts along the way. I have to say the SEMA Show was very well organized and very well attended. We had a great trip to the USA! “

The 7-Member Team Nutz Crew Rolled To Vegas For SEMA 2024

Posted on by in Featured.

LAS VEGAS, NV (11.18.24) – Team Nutz spent a full week, Saturday to Saturday in LasVegas for the 2024 SEMA Show. Ed Nuttall and all prepared a very detailed plan to visit each hall in the LVCC plus spend time at the AAPEX Show that was also going during the week to maximize the ROI of the trip to Vegas. Upon arriving in Vegas on Saturday night, they took in a performance at the amazing Las Vegas Sphere.

One evening, the Team Nutz crew pictured with the van.

The Team Nutz crew consisted of Ed and his wife Nina along with Josh Nuttall, Mike, Gosnik, Sean Delaney, Doug Burns and Ross Shapiro.

Team Nutz picked up a white 9-Passenger van at the airport to get their trip around Vegas as smooth as possible. A cool part of the plan was to place decals on the van to promote another aspect of their business which is making decals for people and companies to promote their businesses.

During the time in Vegas, there were over 150 scans of the QR code on the decal each day directing people to check out the Team Nutz decal offer. Once returning to Pittsburgh, they checked and found out they had over 1000 scans as they drove around orders… with one coming from Florida.

The first Saturday night, the Team Nutz crew enjoyed a performance in the Las Vegas SPHERE.
Nina and Ed flank Nick Hayes-Team Progressive during a meeting in the Rockford Fosgate booth.

Ed Nuttall related “We did have a very detailed plan and split into groups as we visited all of the halls in the LVCC. The West Hall is so large it almost takes a full day to get around it. A lot the 2400 exhibitors at SEMA this year it seemed like half of them must’ve been in the West hall.”

Continuing “On Friday, as the SEMA Show wrapped, we had paid a premium for parking and our van was able to join other vehicles with the tour out of the LVCC to downtown and also that parade that night. This activity definitely increased visibility for the decal offer that we had on the van.”

The SEMA Show 2024 wrapped with many exhibitor’s vehicles in the parade downtown.
During SEMA, the Team Nutz crew captured many videos and interviews to post on their social media outreach in the coming days and weeks. Here is Nina Nuttall on Day-4

During the trip to Vegas, the team was able to follow the detail schedule and gave the trip a score of 9 out of 10. Nuttall concluded “Our meetings with vendors were all very positive as we presented our ideas to get all parts and members of the 12volt industry to work together to drive business into brick and mortar retailers. Consumers really can’t appreciate music on a smartphone or laptop. In addition professional sales staffs on the retail floor and top installations are a must for complete customer enjoyment.”
