Though tradeshow attendees come to take advantage of Red Sheet Specials, limited-time offers exclusive to the two-day, in-person show, most attendees continue to take advantage of special pricing on automotive parts, tools, equipment, and essentials until the end of April by ordering online.

While great deals may be the top reason business owners make the Lordco annual trade show part of their business strategy, there are additional motivators. Discover the four reasons automotive industry professionals choose to attend the Lordco Auto Parts tradeshow year after year.

1. Gain a Competitive Edge Through Strategic Buying
   Sean McIntosh, president of Kirmac Collision & Auto Glass, utilizes the Lordco Auto Parts 34th Annual Tradeshow as a strategic buying play. He buys for the year at the best available prices during the show, future-proofing his business through substantial cost savings. Like McIntosh, Gerry Rand of Rand Automotive also plans buys around the show. He follows a bi-annual buying cycle and shops the show to stock shelves at discounted prices until he repeats the buying process in the fall.

2. Stay Up to date with Industry Innovations
   Russ Hudson, an automotive industry technician by trade, attends to discover innovative tooling and equipment for his business, Hudson Automotive Ltd. He views the show as an educational opportunity, a venue to get a snapshot of the industry. Visit the PNE Agrodome during the show and learn what modern technologies and tools can help streamline processes and, potentially, save your business time and help cut costs.
    

3. Discover New Product Lines
   With over 300 vendors at the show, there are extensive opportunities to discover new product lines and to research unfamiliar lines. For Rand, the show is a block of time for talking to vendors and learning more about their offerings. Each booth at the show represents an opportunity for discovery. Take your time at the show. Speak to vendors and ask questions about their products. You might learn something new or find items to fill gaps in your current customer offerings.
    

4. Build Relationships and Network
   Dean Washington, owner and director of GRiP TiRE Stores Inc., appreciates the networking opportunity afforded at the show. He attends to meet all the industry "who's who". Proprietors of small shops, owners of large dealerships, and directors of multi-chain locations pre-register to attend. They represent industry veterans, pioneers, and niche experts. Strike up conversations with like-minded professionals, ask questions, bounce ideas, and then return from the show ready to apply best practices to your business.
