Pre-show publications, including the SEMA Show Daily, provide the ideal opportunity for exhibitors to submit press releases about new products, project vehicles and special events and activities.

Getting the spotlight focused on your company at the SEMA Show comes down to three words—promotion, promotion, promotion.

Promotion is sometimes overlooked in pre-Show planning because the emphasis is on developing new products, building project vehicles and finishing booth displays. However, once the doors to the SEMA Show open, companies that invest in promotion typically experience increases in traffic, which translate into more leads and more connections with key decision makers. By using promotional tools—many of which are free—businesses can stand out from their competitors and achieve a higher profile at the Show.

One way to generate buzz for your new products and services is by submitting press releases to SEMA's pre-Show publications. The association produces a weekly SEMA eNews newsletter, a monthly SEMA News magazine and the SEMA Show Daily, which includes three issues produced on-site in Las Vegas. Generating excitement and exposure for new-product launches, project-vehicle premieres and special events held in conjunction with the 2011 SEMA Show can have a massive impact on your overall SEMA Show success.

In addition to sending press releases to the appropriate publications, paid advertising and sponsorship packages can further elevate your company's profile at the Show, generating both traffic to your booth and getting buyers focused on your products. There are packages and programs designed to fit every budget, including advertising in the Show Directory and Pocket Guide. For complete details, including special discounts, contact Joe Sebergandio at Motor Media, 818/248-4449 or e-mail Joe at sales@motormediainc.com.

For companies interested in taking advantage of editorial opportunities in pre-Show publications, here's a breakdown of key contacts associated with the different pre-Show Publications, as well as a list of editorial topics typically covered in each of the publications.

hotels
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in the SEMA block offers a nightly rate of only $159 for this all-suite hotel.
Always striving to provide those coming to the SEMA Show with the lowest hotel rates and smoothest travel possible, SEMA is pleased to have Travel Planners as its official housing partner for the upcoming 2011 SEMA Show. You can book your housing now by reaching the housing/lodging page on www.SEMAShow.com.

While many companies say they offer the best rates possible, booking directly through SEMA’s housing bureau ensures that you not only receive a rate guarantee—which will always be better than what the hotel can offer you directly—but Travel Planners also will provide you with customer service throughout the year and even upon your arrival in Las Vegas. If you have any issues upon your arrival in Las Vegas, booking through Travel Planners guarantees you on-site personal assistance. And, If you book through Travel Planners and the rates go down, you'll get the new, cheaper rate.

For exhibitors and large groups, Travel Planners provides an easy-to-use site where rooming lists and itinerary changes can be handled with just the click of a button. Everything can be done online by you. If the online process frightens you, customer service specialists are waiting to assist you with group reservations.

SEMA has locked in incredible rates yet again and has been able to waive the resort fees, which more and more Las Vegas properties are adopting, some as much as $20 per night. Book through the official housing block and you won’t have to pay them, with the exception of the Signature at MGM Grand, which has always had a resort fee with its additional services that are not provided to other MGM Grand guests.

If you have any questions regarding housing for the upcoming SEMA Show, please don’t hesitate to contact the Travel Planners at 800/221-3531 or 212/532-1660.
