NEWELL, WVA (09.16.24) – At Davis Distribution, we understand that our success as a distributor is closely tied to the success of our dealers. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to provide them with the tools they need to excel, including high-quality, video content. From product spotlights to in-depth training sessions, every video we produce is created with the dealer’s success in mind. By equipping dealers with the right resources, we encourage them to engage their customers, strengthen their expertise, and ultimately drive their business forward.

Launching the YouTube Channel

The idea to create a YouTube channel came from recognizing the growing demand for content that our dealers could use to better connect with their customers. Sarah Taliani, our Marketing Communications Director, explains:

“We saw how video was becoming the go-to format for sharing information, and we wanted to ensure our dealers had access to those tools. The YouTube channel allows us to offer product highlights, training videos, and interviews in a way that’s easy for dealers to use and share. It’s all about providing them with what they need to succeed in this digital age.”

This move wasn’t just about keeping up with the latest digital trends; it was about ensuring our dealers had valuable tools at their fingertips, empowering them to connect more effectively with their audience.

Developing the Right Content

Creating the right content wasn’t an overnight process. According to Sarah, “Through years of trial and error, we’ve developed a variety of video formats that work best for our dealers. We’ve tested different approaches, always looking for what truly resonates with their day-to-day operations and the challenges they face in the field.”

This journey of experimentation led to a content lineup that includes quick product spotlights, insightful interviews through our Orange Couch Crush series, and valuable training videos. Each type of video is designed to meet the unique needs of our dealers and provide them with the information they need to perform their best.

Supporting Dealers with Every Video

“We want our videos to be tools that dealers can rely on,” Sarah adds. “But we also want them to enjoy the watching them. That’s why we always aim to keep the content entertaining, so it sticks and makes an impact.”

As we continue to expand our video offerings, our commitment to supporting dealers remains stronger than ever. Sarah concludes: “It’s all about making sure our dealers feel equipped, confident, and connected. When they succeed, we succeed.”

DIAMOND BAR, CA (09.10.24) – The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) today launched Drive The Vote (www.sema.org/vote), a campaign to mobilize voters among its 7,000 member companies and the millions of American automotive enthusiasts, with resources to enable their participation in the 2024 general election.

“Voting is an essential activity for our nation and for ensuring the automotive aftermarket industry has a say in the business undertaken by our lawmakers at the state and federal levels,” said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola. “SEMA’s Drive The Vote campaign equips our members and those around them with the information they need to vote in their community for the candidates who best speak for their values. And, because the 2024 SEMA Show starts on Election Day, Nov. 5, we’re encouraging those traveling to Las Vegas to review these resources so they know how to vote early.”

The Drive The Vote campaign is simple in its intent: encourage Americans to register to vote and then cast their ballots, using content designed to help industry leaders navigate interactions with congressional candidates, highlight the automotive aftermarket’s advocacy priorities, and encourage enthusiasts’ participation in the electoral process. SEMA is providing vetted links to important voter information, questions to ask candidates during campaign events, and social media assets and sample messages to encourage their employees, customers, and community members to register to vote.

“There has never been a more critical time for our members to weigh in on who’s leading in Washington, D.C., and state capitals across the U.S.,” said SEMA Board Chair Kyle Fickler of ProCharger. “The Drive The Vote campaign will help SEMA members and other auto enthusiasts raise our collective voice to secure passage of laws and policies that help preserve our industry and its $337 billion annual impact to the American economy.”
