WTF… Where’s The Fun……On the next spin of the 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel 301 on Friday, December 20th.

STILLWATER, OK (12.13.24) – The idea for the Audio Midwest team to visit KICKER’S’s HQ had been in the works for sometime. Wednesday night it happened as team members from the Audio Midwest Stillwater and Edmond locations made the trip. It was after hours and KICKER’S John Myers orchestrated the evening that included a tour of the facility, a product training session and time in the KICKER UnMasked Studio. A casual dinner treat from Rob Clason added to the evening.

KICKER’s John Myers related “A few days ago Audio Midwest owner Rob Clason gave me a call and said how about next Wednesday night. After checking the schedule, I said let’s do it!”

The 8 members of the Audio Midwest teams arrived and actually brought dinner for all to enjoy as they were spending time at the KICKER HQ.

Clason offered “It was a terrific evening that lasted to right at 11 PM. John showed us a selection of new 2025 KICKER products and our team members really engaged with those new offerings plus we had just an amazing tour of the KICKER facility and the UnMasked Studio. The Christmas spirit was definitely in the air as we enjoyed a casual dinner together.”

Clason related that he has been in the mobile electronics industry for over 35 years and recognizes KICKER as definitely an industry leader in terms of product innovation and moving the 12volt industry forward across the US and around the world.

Myers added “It was such a great evening to connect with their team and discuss ideas to drive business forward in 2025 and beyond by having 12volt brick and mortar retailers to reach out and connect with consumers to drive in-store traffic.”

During the KICKER UnMasked Studio presentation next Tuesday evening, December 17th, Aaron Malin will feature three KICKER retailers and Clason will be on-set representing Audio Midwest as one of the retail stores spotlighted on that Tuesday evening presentation.

LINCOLN, NE (12.12.24) – “Another Tint Shop Toy Drive is in the books. This year‘s donations started out slow, and we were bummed. With the recent higher cost of living, Thanksgiving being more expensive than usual and Christmas shopping in full swing we didn’t think we would have much to donate. Once again, our customers and friends came in strong the last week of the drive and saved it” Owner Keith May related.

Continuing “We had numerous customers and friends stop in just to donate without having any vehicle to schedule. We are amazed every year by the number of toys and monetary donations that come in for this worthy cause. All toys and cash were dropped off at the Kampout For Kids the night after the event was over.”

The Tint Shop was founded in 1996 by the May family and provides tint services for auto, commercial and residential. The company also offers paint protection services. The Tint Shop is a Premier 3M Film company.

“Everyone was incredibly appreciative for everything. Not only did we end up with the huge pile of toys, but also had 5 gift cards and over $500 in cash!. Once again our partnership with local radio to get the word out across the community worked very well. We want to take some time to thank everyone that scheduled a vehicle, dropped off a toy or donated cash. It’s all going to make sure that every kid has something to open on Christmas. Thank you all from all of us here at the Tint Shop” May concluded.

Area KICKER retailer Sound Hound Stereo, with Byll and Zach Thies, were in the KICKER booth with Maddog_Media’s Lorin Morrell.

Morrell, who orchestrates the AMA ArenaCross events, related “It was a great 2 nights of action. Friday night’s attendance was very good and Saturday night was even better. The Pit Party drew enthusiasts onto the track to get the evening started both nights. Meeting riders and checking out their bikes was enjoyable for all. The KICKER booth in the lobby area had tables with products displayed for car, truck, marine and motorsports. Having Byll and Zach in the house for their Sound Hound store was terrific. Their store in Caldwell is only 8 miles from the Idaho Center in Nampa. They certainly did connect with a lot of people and enthusiasts from the area.”

“It was a fantastic two nights,” Byll related. “We connected with so many people and handed out over 200 cards in addition to giving away many of our company’s lanyards. Quoted several jobs too. Sound Hounds is celebrating our 28th Anniversary this year and several people we saw at the booth were friends and happy customers. KICKER is a go to brand in our store.

TULSA, OK (12.06.24)– In this digital driven cyber world it is more important than ever to drive store traffic into brick and mortar retail stores. Car Toys Tulsa takes the outside of the store activity into the in-store experience to drive sales. Then the parking lot activities are showcased on social media.

Car Toys Tulsa is a well established company serving the Tulsa community for over 4 decades. During that time many relationships have grown with other proactive companies in the marketplace.

Mark Adams related “The Holiday Season is a special time of the year for us. We recently worked with Rides for Hope in a toy drive out front of the store that is located in a large shopping area with a our store visible from Walmart. In addition another large retailer opened close to our store. After that successful event we rolled into the Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday promos. We made social media posts for each of those activities.

Car Toys Tulsa has demo vehicles outside and people attending the events are encouraged to snap selfies with the demos which they will post with their friends on social media.

Recently a local food truck company started parking adjacent to Car Toys Tulsa on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

For the storefront visibility Adams worked with a local sign company to created large 5’ by 7’ signage for the windows highlighting multiple product categories.

Concluding “This year our November numbers showed an increase and we are off to a fast start in December. At Car Toys Tulsa we work as a family and all team members work to engage with consumers and show them the benefits of working in-person with a local business.

All 12volt retailers have digital options to create a network of social media followers to drive store traffic for the in-store experience. Proactive 12volt retailers, like Car Toys Tulsa utilize those digital social media platforms which turns into profitable business.
