Lead-retrieval products and services are designed to help you maximize the return on your investment from exhibiting by turning qualified buyers into potential sales leads.

Want to know how you can take advantage of every opportunity at your booth and process potential leads faster? The SEMA Show attracts thousands of qualified buyers every year and you may not have a chance to address each one individually. They visit your booth because they're interested in what you have to offer. Now, with the swipe of a card, a lead-retrieval system—available to exhibitors for the Show—eliminates the hassle of fumbling around with business cards. It records the potential buyer's personal information, providing you with electronic leads to follow up on after the Show.

CompuSystems, the SEMA Show’s official registration provider, offers a suite of lead-retrieval products and services designed to help you maximize the return on your investment from exhibiting and turn qualified buyers into sales. This comprehensive, 360-degree approach to lead management will connect you with attendees before, during and after the Show.

Pre-Show, TrafficMax attendee promotional services can be used to drive traffic to your booth. This system can be used to target buyers so you can then send a customized marketing message to your target audience. Once onsite, CompuLEAD lead-retrieval products are designed to help you quickly and effectively capture and qualify leads on the Show floor. When the Show ends, exhibitors that used a CompuLEAD device have access to BuyerConnect—a free post-Show follow-up service.

Order online or use the order forms (pdf) to learn more and sign up for these valuable services by the October 3 advance rate deadline. For assistance, call 866/600-5323 (inside the United States) or +1 708/786-5565 (outside the United States)

The Ford F-150 won the SEMA Award for Hottest Truck in 2010.

Here's a great way to showcase your products and for your customers to show off their rides at the same time: Enter the SEMA Award Contender Contest for a chance to showcase that vehicle at the 2011 SEMA Show.

Owners of a SEMA Award contender vehicle are invited to submit a video clip (video can be done on a smart phone) highlighting three of the vehicle’s modifications into the SEMA Award Contender Contest. All submissions will be posted on SEMA’s Video Channel, giving your products valuable visibility with thousands of enthusiasts.

For the vehicle owners, they may be selected to have their vehicle featured at the SEMA Show, along with credentials and amenities to attend the annual trade-only event.

While the actual SEMA Award winners will be selected by exhibitors based on the vehicles they choose to display in their booths at the SEMA Show, the contenders are vehicle models that are most likely to have a significant presence at the 2011 SEMA Show. The video contest seeks to find some great examples of these contender vehicles.

If you are the owner of one of the contender vehicles, or if you have customers with one of these vehicles, we invite you to enter the contest. Get your video cameras out and start filming. Note that the quality of the video will in no way impact your chances of winning, so feel free to use your flip cams or even your cell phones.

Full details on the program can be found here.
