A Night of Excellence

Highlights From the 2019 SEMA Show Industry Awards Banquet

Banquet
More than 2,500 attendees packed the banquet hall of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino on Thursday night, November 7, for the SEMA Show’s Industry Awards Banquet, a celebration of the aftermarket’s best and brightest. The annual banquet is among the Show’s most anticipated highlights.

Traditionally taking place Thursday night at the SEMA Show, the SEMA Industry Awards Banquet honors industry innovators, volunteers and personalities who make significant contributions toward the advancement of the automotive specialty-equipment aftermarket. Themed “How Do You SEMA?” and emceed by automotive television and podcast personality Kevin Oeste and motorsports announcer Jarod DeAnda, the 2019 banquet was held November 7 at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

Always popular among Showgoers, the gala drew more than 2,500 attendees eager to celebrate the night’s award recipients in a variety of categories, including the SEMA Chairman’s Service Award, Manufacturer of the Year, Manufacturers’ Rep Agency of the Year, Warehouse Distributor of the Year, and Gen-III Innovator of the Year. Recent SEMA Hall of Fame inductees Bob Chandler, Bruce Crower and Marla Moore were also recognized.

All of the above honorees are featured in the following pages, while Dan Kahn, founder of Kahn Media and the evening’s 2019 SEMA Person of the Year recipient, will be profiled separately in the February 2020 issue of SEMA News. Along with the awards, the ceremonies featured music and headline entertainment, the latter courtesy Las Vegas’ iconic Blue Man Group.

In his opening remarks to attendees, SEMA Chairman of the Board Tim Martin noted that the evening was “really a celebration of all the ways people contribute to 
this industry.”
“Together, we serve millions of enthusiasts around the world who are involved in automotive customization, restoration and motorsports, [and] our vehicles, products and lifestyle are promoted by marketers, influencers and educators,” he said, adding that the SEMA community is unlike any other group of product engineers.

Combs
After their opening remarks, SEMA Chairman of the Board Tim Martin (right) and SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting paid tribute to the late Jessi Combs, whom Martin honored with the Chairman’s Service Award for her many contributions to SEMA and 
the industry.

“We are constantly messing with something that already works okay; we can’t leave it alone,” he explained. “We want to change something to make it better; make it faster; make it do something it couldn’t do before; take something old and make it look brand new; or take something brand new and make it more beautiful and unique. The SEMA community embraces change, creativity and competition.”

Following Martin, SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting also addressed the audience, touching upon the industry’s roots with racers and other pioneers whose contributions spanned generations. The lesson, he said, was that anyone in the audience could make a difference through their ideas and passion.

“So this is about all of us, but it’s [also] about each of you,” Kersting said. “Your contribution, your innovation, your success will be the force that keeps our industry moving forward. And along the way, this [SEMA] association is here to 
help you.”

Following their opening addresses, Martin and Kersting paid special tribute to the late motorsports legend Jessi Combs, who had emceed the banquet and other SEMA events in past years.
“I am proud to award the SEMA Chairman’s Service Award to a woman who has inspired millions of people around the world, Jessi Combs,” Martin said. “In August, we lost one of our industry’s shining stars, but tonight this award celebrates her contributions to our industry. Whether you knew her personally, professionally or watched her light up the screen, you could not help but be inspired by her infectious spirit and electric smile.”

Manufacturer
Hunter Engineering was named Manufacturer of the Year.

Manufacturer of the Year: Hunter Engineering

The Manufacturer of the Year award celebrates a specialty-equipment manufacturer demonstrating exceptional performance working with warehouse distributors, manufacturers’ reps and others in the retail community. In addition, the honoree shows leadership within both the overall industry and their aftermarket segment through their high standards in business practices, innovation and customer satisfaction.

The 2019 award went to Hunter Engineering, a SEMA Show exhibitor for more than 20 years (and usually represented at the Show by more than 100 staff members, including its entire regional management and executive team). Finalists for the award included Air Lift Co. and Hypertech Inc.

WD
AllPro Distributing took Warehouse Distributor of the Year honors.

Warehouse Distributor 
(WD) of the Year: AllPro Distributing

The SEMA Warehouse Distributor of the Year award recognizes a WD that stands out through operational excellence, industry involvement and developmental support to clients and staff. Outstanding customer service and expert product knowledge are also key considerations. A SEMA member for more than 30 years, AllPro Distributing took home the 2019 honors for its major strides in growing its business through exceptional customer service. Finalists for the award included Keystone Automotive and last year’s winner, Turn 
14 Distribution.

Rep Agency
The Manufacturers’ Rep Agency of the Year award went to Kunzman & Associates.

Manufacturers’ Rep 
Agency of the Year: 
Kunzman & Associates

When aftermarket manufacturers seek to boost sales, expand into new territories or introduce new products, they often turn to a manufacturers’ rep agency. Because such agencies can play a pivotal role in getting products into the hands of consumers, the SEMA Manufacturers’ Rep Agency of the Year award honors those that demonstrate exceptional performance and professionalism, product-line knowledge, communication with suppliers and client networks, along with training and education.

The 2019 award went to Kunzman & Associates, whose vendor relationships have averaged 17 years over the course of the agency’s 18-year tenure. Kunzman & Associates is also known for its service to the industry at large; every member of its team belongs to a SEMA council, select committee or task force. The year’s finalists also included Considine Sales & Marketing and PSKB Inc.

Gen 3
Chris Candido (right), co-founder of Turn 14 Distribution, received the Gen-III Innovator of the Year award.

Gen-III Innovator of the Year: Chris Candido, Turn 14 Distribution

A Gen-III Innovator is defined as an industry individual under age 40 who is making breakthroughs in new products, new approaches to business, or trendsetting achievements. Nominees for the award must demonstrate truly innovative thinking that helps lead the industry forward. Awardees are selected by a panel of SEMA Board of Directors members and Young Executives Network representatives.

Chris Candido of Turn 14 Distribution was named the 2019 recipient for his innovative use of technology to help reimagine wholesale distribution. An English major and self-taught software developer, Candido is also a recent SEMA News “35 Under 35” honoree. Justin Hartenstein of Oracle Lighting and Jason Kencevski of Speedmaster were the award’s other two finalists.

Chandler

SEMA Hall of Fame 
Recognitions

SEMA inducted three industry leaders into its Hall of Fame during its annual Leaders and Legends Installation & Gala in July. At the SEMA Show’s Industry Awards Banquet, the inductees were reintroduced to the wider industry audience.

With more than 45 years in the industry, Bob Chandler is credited with inventing the Monster Truck phenomenon. After a serious motorcycle accident ended his plans to work in the family business, Chandler bought a pickup and opened a 4WD shop. But every weekend event saw him breaking something on the vehicle, prompting his general manager to nickname him Bigfoot because he couldn’t take his foot off the throttle. Chandler emblazoned the name on the side of his truck and it stuck. From there, his truck got bigger and bigger as he spawned the famous Monster Truck events that brought a new wave of truck enthusiasts into the industry.

Crower
Kevin Oeste (left) interviewed Barbara Crower (center), wife of the late Bruce Crower, another SEMA Hall of Fame inductee, along with the Crower’s grandson Lewis.

More than 60 years ago, Bruce Crower began making performance parts for fellow hot rodders. His passion to make things go faster made him an innovator in all things motorsports and resulted in Crower Cams and Equipment Co., a multimillion-dollar organization producing high-performance parts for a wide variety of applications. In addition, Crower is credited with advancing the industry’s speed and safety. Over his career, he was recognized with several awards, including the 1977 SAE Louis Schwitzer award for innovation and engineering excellence. Crower, who passed away in July 2019, was represented at the SEMA Show banquet by his wife Barbara and grandson Lewis.

Marla Moore
SEMA Hall of Fame inductee Marla Moore (center) was also applauded for her many years of leadership and service to the industry.

Marla Moore didn’t originally consider the automotive aftermarket to be her career path when she was brought into it as an artist-illustrator 35 years ago. But it quickly won her over and made her a lifelong industry enthusiast. She has been a tireless volunteer and advocate ever since, serving on a variety of SEMA councils and task forces and building a reputation as a trusted leader and mentor. The recipient of many industry awards and honors, Moore is currently the marketing director for the six companies and 10 brands that make up Legendary Companies, and she serves on the board of the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, a SEMA Cares charity. But of all her accomplishments, one of her proudest moments was bringing her father to the SEMA Show and introducing him to all the industry icons who had invented and built the parts he had been using for years on his car projects.

Summing up the evening, Kersting said: “We are honored to recognize each year the individuals and companies who embody the spirit of our industry. The SEMA Industry Awards Banquet is a highlight of the SEMA Show and a great way to culminate an outstanding week of business. It’s always great to spend time with friends and family, celebrating the industry that we all love.”

Council and Network Awards
 
In addition to a variety of awards during the Industry Awards Banquet, the honorees of SEMA’s many councils and networks were also congratulated for their outstanding work and contributions to their particular industry categories. The honorees included:
  • Chris Crecelius, Edelbrock—Emerging Trends & Technology Network Ambassador Award

RETAILER BEST PRACTICES

By Mike Imlay

7 Tips for Managing Cash Flow

(And Why It’s So Important)

Retailer
For a retail operation, maintaining a positive cash flow and reserves can make the difference between success and failure. Avoid the pitfalls by following the seven basics of cash-flow management.

Remember the old adage? “The first three rules of business are location, location and location.” That may be true, but there’s something else just as basic to a retailer’s success: cash flow, cash flow and cash flow. Yet far too many retailers fail in that area, typically because they either confuse cash flow with revenue, rely on future sales that may or may not materialize, improperly track bills, allocate resources that they don’t really have, or succumb to a lethal combination of all the above.

Managing financials can be the least exciting aspect of an aftermarket retail business. After all, most shops or retail startups in this space result from the owner’s passion for vehicles, not numbers and spreadsheets. Still, understanding and maintaining a positive cash flow, creating a realistic budget and keeping track of every nickel spent are all crucial to success. The retail environment is tougher than ever, with big-box stores and online goliaths squeezing the margins for smaller outlets.

A positive cash flow pays salaries, stocks shelves, finances store improvements and keeps the lights on even when margins are tight. The right level of cash flow is also critical for to securing additional capital and credit. Most important of all, a healthy cash flow helps insulate a business against off-season sales slumps or unexpected economic downturns.

“The bottom line is that we don’t know when the next recession is going to come,” said Gene Marks, president of The Marks Group and a noted small-business consultant. “It could be in six months. It could be in a couple of years. But it’s going to come. And if there’s anything that I learned from the last recession, it’s that the companies that have cash in the bank survive
these things.

“They can leverage that cash to get financing. They can leverage that cash to make purchases or go into partnerships or buy inventory or property that other people just aren’t able to do because they don’t have the cash. I know it’s a simple concept, but a lot of people don’t seem to really take to heart that the more cash you have, the better financial shape you’re in. That’s why managing your cash flow is
so important.”

Thankfully, there are seven easy steps you can take to maximize cash flow and set your business on a firm path to sustainability and growth.

1. Separate Revenue From Cash Flow

Marks has presented a number of small-business seminars at recent SEMA Shows and gotten to know many aftermarket retailers. He noted that they differ from many retailers in that they’re primarily motorsports enthusiasts as opposed to business-management or accounting majors who settle into a specific retail category after graduation. But it’s never too late to learn the basics, starting with the difference between revenue and cash flow.

“Revenue is what you’re billing, and cash flow is what you’re collecting. It’s as simple as that,” he explained. “So for a typical retailer, revenue and cash flow are generally the same because people come into your store, swipe a credit card, give you the money, and that’s it. But if you’re the type of business that works on a little bit of credit—where you’re doing project work, some other services, or you have maintenance contracts or things where you are billing a client—there’s where your cash flow and your revenue break off. You’re billing and you’re showing revenue, but you don’t have the cash in the bank yet.”

And that, Marks said, is precisely where many small-business owners go astray.

“You get this very common question of, ‘Hey, my tax return is showing a profit, but I don’t have any cash in the bank to pay my taxes.’ That’s because they’ve probably recorded the revenue from the job but not collected the cash yet.”

2. Create a Cash Reserve

Just like every household needs a “rainy day” fund, every business needs a cash reserve. That requires a commitment to setting aside a specified percentage of the real money coming in to build up that reserve.

“The rule of thumb in this business is to have at least six months of operating cash on hand in the bank or someplace liquid,” Marks explained. “That way, you would still be able to pay the bills for the next six months even if all of your work dried up tomorrow. So the first step is having that objective and working toward it.

“That takes some discipline, and it takes commitment, but it’s a crucial thing that you have to do. It basically means sometimes you have to say no to some purchases, jobs or potential opportunities that could suck up some of that cash when you might need it the most.”

3. Get Daily Flash Reports

Still, setting aside a percentage of cash isn’t enough. You have to keep a watchful eye on it—consistently and constantly.

“In other words, you can’t ignore what’s going on in your business, which means that you should be looking every day at what I call a flash report,” Marks advised. “A flash report comes right out of your accounting system. It could be something that an administrator can compile. But it should give you the key metrics about your business—what your cash is, what your receivables are, what your tables are, and what your revenues to date are.”

Keeping your eye on those numbers every single day keeps you focused on the financial necessities and can provide immediate alerts if anything is amiss or off track. Using the beginning of each year as a benchmark, these daily snapshots help chart cash-flow health and progress, especially toward that goal of keeping six months of operating cash
on hand.

4. Review Your General Ledger Monthly

While watching your daily flash reports, Marks also strongly advises a deep dive into the money going out of your business on a monthly basis at the very least.

“The best way to do that is to read your general ledger,” he said.

A tool of business accountants, a general ledger is something that every owner should also familiarize themselves with.

“It’s basically a diary of all the transactions going through your business, whatever system you’re using,” he explained. “I know business owners who print out that diary every month, and they read through it, and they circle the items that they might not be familiar with, and they ask questions. They investigate things that seem unusual, but they know the numbers backward and forward. It’s important to go through their business like that, because in the end, it all turns into cash.”

5. Accept Multiple Forms of Payment

Since your goal is to maximize cash reserves, it only makes sense to make it easy for your customers to get it to you any way they can. Credit cards and payment apps are just two of the tried-and-true ways to make payments easy and immediate for purchasers. Encouraging deposits on products or services is another time-honored strategy.

“People can give you that deposit and then pay off the total amount over a period of time,” Marks noted. “So at least you can get some money up front for the work that you’re doing.”

Executive Summary 

In today’s highly competitive retail climate, a key factor in survivability is maximizing and properly managing cash flow. According to small-business expert Gene Marks, president of The Marks Group, the seven steps that can put your retail operation on the right footing are:

  • Differentiating revenue and cash flow.
  • Creating a cash reserve.
  • Checking daily flash reports.
  • Reviewing your general ledger monthly.
  • Accepting multiple forms of customer payments.
  • Anticipating expenses 90–120 days out.
  • Hiring a bookkeeper or accountant.

Doing the above will help you avoid some of the most common pitfalls that doom far too many retail businesses.

 

6. Anticipate What Lies Ahead

Just because you have money in the bank doesn’t mean it’s there to spend freely. Businesses have fixed expenses with fixed dates. (Tax payments and supplier orders are just two examples.) Your job is to anticipate such things and set aside the appropriate monies ahead of time.

“You shouldn’t have any surprises,” Marks said. “If you’re a good business person, you should always be looking ahead 90–120 days. That will smooth out how you’re spending your money and how you’re managing your cash flow, and you won’t find yourself in any predicaments. That’s the number-one thing I see retailers do wrong when it comes to managing
their businesses.”

7. Invest in a Competent Bookkeeper

Running a business can stretch a person thin, and often the best thing an owner can do to manage cash flow is to hire someone to help them do it. While the business owner remains responsible for reviewing flash reports and the general ledger—as well as all the other above steps—a good bookkeeper or CPA can help prepare the reports and explain anything that needs attention.

A popular presenter at business events, including the SEMA Show, Gene Marks is president of The Marks Group, a small- to medium-business consulting firm. His columns can also be found in The Guardian, The Hill, and Forbes. For more information, visit his website at www.genemarks.com.

“I’m a CPA, and even I have a bookkeeper and an outside accountant that I talk to regularly to evaluate where the cash flow is,” Marks said. “If you spend a few hundred or a couple thousand bucks a year on an outside financial person to help you, you will be grateful and make money many times over. Not only that, but if you have the right accountant working with you—somebody who might be familiar with the industry or have other clients who are in similar businesses as yours—that person can point stuff out and say, ‘Hey, you know what? Your margins are a little bit lower than normal. Or you’re spending more on compensation costs than most of my clients.’”

People gathered to see what they had never seen before. The diesel revolution had begun. Today, we offer hundreds of products engineered to improve your diesel’s performance. From our heavy-duty cast aluminum pans and covers, which help dissipate heat and increase fluid capacity, to our 6mm, five-ply silicone, 304 stainless steel Quick Release Clamps and Flanges, from the Dual Fueler to complete, custom-built Duramax engines configured to your specific needs.

Selling With Emotion

Artificial Intelligence

AI
Emotion AI will be proliferating through society, ready or not, so it makes good sense to know what’s going on and collect insights on how the technology can reportedly help you make more sales.

Given that face-to-face selling often results in communications breakdowns, it’s no wonder that artificial intelligence (AI) programmers are designing solutions that enable machines that help sell by sensing customer emotions. These AI solutions are able to use cameras and listening devices to determine if a customer is happy or sad, angry or disinterested, and alter their sales pitches based on that assessment.

The new tech, known as Emotion AI, is so hot that market research firm Gartner predicts it will be embedded in 10% of all personal tech devices by 2022
(www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/13-surprising-uses-for-emotion-ai-technology).

“Companies lose billions of dollars each year due to poor customer service,” said Brian Loveys, program director with IBM’s Watson Products Group. “In fact, 53% of U.S. adults are likely to abandon their online purchase if they cannot find quick answers to their questions.”

Simultaneously, businesses “know that artificial intelligence has the potential to improve customer service in new ways,” Loveys added.

In practice, those new ways (as implemented in the retail sector) have given rise to store shelves that sense and respond to customers walking by. And Emotion AI is also springing up in call centers, where AI-driven software listens in on calls and text chats, responding to customers based on their emotions and tipping off human agents about the next caller’s mood.

Still other applications serve as an AI eye-in-the sky for retailers. They determine whether customers leave the store satisfied. And some can even send coupons to customer smartphones to clinch a sale.

One caveat: There are some psychologists who question the accuracy of these AI systems, as evidenced by a recent report released by the Association for Psychological Science (www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/emotion-expressions-pspi.html). The report’s premise is that it’s possible for AI systems to easily misread emotions, given that the look on someone’s face often belies what he or she is feeling, according to Lisa Feldman Barrett, a co-author of the report.

“On average, people scowl when angry approximately 25% of the time,” Barret said. “But they also move their faces in other meaningful ways when angry. They might cry or smile or widen their eyes and gasp. And they also scowl when not angry—such as when they are concentrating or when they have a stomachache. Similarly, most smiles don’t imply that a person is happy. And most of the time people who are happy do something other than smile.”

Either way, Emotion AI will be proliferating through society, ready or not, so it makes good sense to know what’s going on and collect insights on how the tech can reportedly help you make more sales. Below are a few ways.

Shelfpoint (www.shelfpoint.com): One of the higher-profile Emotion AI applications, Shelfpoint transforms the sides of retailer shelves that face customers into emotion-sensing devices, which change colors, offer different graphics, and change pricing based on the emotions they sense.

Manufactured by Cloverleaf, Shelfpoint works by using tiny cameras on the shelves that continually feed images of passing customers to the system’s AI software. Perceptions collected include customer facial expressions and customer emotions, including joy, sadness, anger, fear or surprise. The tech also collects other customer characteristics, including age, gender and ethnic group.

AI analysis of all the data is done in the cloud on Shelfpoint’s servers. The software subsequently triggers changes in the graphics and pricing on the sides of shelves based on what it “sees.”

Down the line, Cloverleaf is promising even more. An enhancement of the system will trigger changes in the graphics and pricing based on shopper age and/or the gender it perceives.

IBM Tone Analyzer (www.ibm.com/watson/services/tone-analyzer): Yet another AI application spun off from IBM’s famous Watson computing system (which bested human competitors on the TV show “Jeopardy” in 2011), Tone Analyzer distills the emotions behind what people are writing online, determining whether they’re happy, sad, confident, angry, empathetic and the like.

The tech is designed to be integrated with chatbots. So in a perfect world, your automated sales chatbots will be able to pitch your customers with Tone Analyzer while sensing your customers’ reactions to those pitches.

Granted, many people feel that chatbots are currently more of an annoyance than anything else, but companies such as IBM are promising that next-generation chatbots will be imbued with AI and will be able to engage in sophisticated conversations—a next-generation improvement that could make Tone Analyzer potentially very potent.

Tone Analyzer can also be integrated into call-center systems and enable call-center managers (using a dashboard) to monitor the emotions of all callers at all times. With that kind of oversight, managers will be able to jump in and take over a sales call that is going sour. Or they can task especially gifted salespeople to do the same.

Internet
With Emotion AI, machines are able to alter sale pitches and customer service based on the emotions they sense.

IBM Watson Assistant (www.ibm.com/cloud/watson-assistant): Similar to Tone Analyzer, Watson Assistant enables a centralized, automated answering system to help customers looking to make a purchase, looking for service, or looking to engage with your business in any number of other ways. Far from a know-it-all, Watson Assistant is programmed with AI to recognize the questions it can answer, provide a knowledge-based article to respond to more in-depth questions, or transfer an internet chat request to a specialized, live agent.

Businesses can customize Watson Assistant to their needs by inputting numerous examples of how online chats questions are handled by their current human operators—including how the human operators handled anger, impatience and similar emotions in customers. The AI system uses those examples to train itself on how to handle future chats, mirroring similar questions and situations.

The AI promise of Watson Assistant is that over time, using both histories of chats and its own experiences of answering questions, it will continually get smarter and more proficient at handling any type of customer question that comes its way.

Market Builder Voice: Another call-center solution, Market Builder Voice uses AI to analyze the emotional state of every person who calls a company or store. Developed by Audeering (www.audeering.com) and GfK (www.gfk.com), the solution is also designed to assess the emotional state of customers and other callers who are waiting on hold for service from company representatives.

The underlying concept is that your sales staff or customer support staff will know the customer’s mood even before they pick up the phone. Interestingly, Market Builder Voice is also programmed to distinguish between authentic comments and sarcasm. So when your customer tells a salesperson “I really like your service,” you’ll know right away if that’s a good or a bad thing.

According to Audeering and GfK, the solution is effective with people from all cultural backgrounds. And its use reportedly results in sales and service calls that are shorter and more productive.

In-Shop C-SAT (www.entropiktech.com): Manufactured by EntropikTek, In-Shop C-SAT is a kind of eye-in-the-sky for your store. It tracks whether or not your customers are leaving your establishment happy or sad. The AI system also uses facial recognition to identify repeat customers entering your store, and it can be programmed to offer those repeat customers personalized tips and/or coupons to clinch a sale.

HERITAGE

By Drew Hardin

Panel Painting

Photo Courtesy Eric Rickman, Petersen Publishing Company Archive

Heritage

Trend-setting custom car builder Larry Watson is credited with creating the first panel paint job in 1958, when he tried to tone down the bright silver paint on his newly customized ’58 Thunderbird by covering several of the car’s body panels in metallic burgundy, leaving the silver to show through as accents.

In a January 1961 Hot Rod how-to article, the editors described the process as “an exciting if not controversial” customizing technique. “As the logical evolution of striping, scalloping and flame painting, the panel kick provides the effects of all three while offering still more outlet for the highly imaginative artist with a spray gun.”

For this story, the “highly imaginative artist” was striper/painter/T-shirt airbrush artist/car builder Dean Jeffries, who demonstrated the technique on a customized shoebox Ford. Petersen Publishing Company photographer Eric Rickman documented the process as Jeffries first laid out the panel edges using a marker on the car’s fresh base coat and then masked the drawn design with 1/4-in. tape. With the edges finalized, Jeffries used masking paper to cover the areas not to be painted.

“Now comes the hard part,” the story warned. The panels to be painted were sanded with 400-grit paper, blown clean, and washed with solvent before being painted white. “After the white had set up, edges were fogged, accomplished by spraying with fine light coat first and then going back over to gradually darken the inside edges.”

This photo, which didn’t appear in the story, shows Jeffries removing the paper from the car’s front end, a step to be done “while the paint is slightly tacky,” the story said. “Pull [the tape] straight up. With enamel, rough edges will smooth out. Rub out lacquer before striping the edges.” Pinstriping around the panels “gives best separation and a more distinctive outline.”

Though it had been a couple of years since Watson set the stage for panel paint, the Hot Rod editors still felt the need to explain the then-radical process: “No longer is a paint job merely a protective finish; now each custom becomes a mobile masterpiece with sharp detail and overspray blends highlighting the original metalwork with bursts of color and accentuating curves.” They showed readers the process “just on the chance that the gimmick might appeal to you; the middle-aged, conservative and faint of heart notwithstanding.”

2019 SEMA Show: 


The Early Returns

Chris Kersting

Chris Kersting

As the saying goes, “that which gets measured, gets done,” which is why we take time each year to conduct a deep dive into how the SEMA Show went for exhibitors, buyers and media. Our annual Show Satisfaction survey quantifies a number of measures and provides feedback so that we can tune our plans for future Shows.

Our formal survey, however informative, takes time to pull together. Meanwhile, there are certain immediately available data nuggets that provide insights about trends, industry attendees and how they are making use of the Show. This “data exhaust” consists of information we might not find as part of a formal survey but which tells a tale about Show activities, behaviors and transactions that are interesting and informative. One example would be participation in Show educational activities.

This year saw a remarkable 20% increase in average attendance at Show seminars, with common double-digit increases in both preregistration and actual attendance. Standing-room only was the rule in many seminars but especially those that addressed social-media management, new-vehicle technologies and the business of building custom cars. Trending at this level indicates that SEMA members may be eager for more educational, professional development and technical seminars that the association could offer away from the SEMA Show.

Another area of increasing industry interest can be seen in the visits to the SEMA Data Co-op (SDC) exhibit, which were up more than 50% over the prior year. SDC education sessions and user-group meetings also saw higher participation, suggesting that more of our industry is recognizing comprehensive product data management as a key priority. The interest at the Show also reflects strong SDC growth, with double-digit increases in supplier brands joining the program over the past year.

On the government affairs front, the SEMA Show once again represented an opportunity to increase awareness and participation in the SEMA Action Network, the nationwide partnership between enthusiast clubs, members and the association that brings a powerful grassroots voice to SEMA’s legislative and regulatory efforts. Sign-ups increased exponentially this year, likely indicating that the industry feels increasing urgency when it comes to efforts to affect laws and regulations to protect the industry. Actual donations to the SEMA Political Action Committee exceeded goals as well.

SEMA Show events were another area where transactional data showed an increase in participation. For example, the New Products Breakfast yielded the highest total attendance in the last five years.

Speaking of new products, it’s also a good sign that three of the 16 New Products Showcase award winners were first-time exhibitors—manufacturers who are bringing new ideas and the possibility of new synergies to our industry.

If you’re looking for tip-of-the-iceberg trends, we think it’s significant that more exhibitors have signaled their participation in vehicle electrification. It’s true that penetration of electric vehicles in the marketplace is statistically minor so far, and there are still relatively few companies working in that sector, but there are already 17 electric vehicles available on the market, with projections that there will be 60 by the end of 2020. That is a development that bears watching as known brands offering exciting high-performance electric cars, trucks, SUVs and race cars become more common.

We think there will opportunities for entrepreneurs who can master electric propulsion and provide powertrain kits for retromod customization, off-roading and racing in the foreseeable future, and we have already seen early sprouts of those opportunities at the 2019 Show.

In the months ahead, we’ll have more conventional and complete data from our annual SEMA Show survey—a project that, thankfully, many Show participants help us complete. We’ll be able to identify more trends, opportunities and areas to improve the Show based on that input. But at this stage, we see data which suggests that the 2019 Show was another outstanding business gathering for the specialty products industry, bearing trends of growth and positive things to come.
