New Products Showcase
More than half of buyers reported that they visit an exhibitor’s booth after researching the company’s product in the New Products Showcase.

Exhibitors looking to attract more business at the SEMA Show use the New Products Showcase as a way to put their brand in front of buyers. The Showcase serves as an extension of an exhibitor’s booth, providing a visual representation of a company’s new products and best-sellers. Taking advantage of the Showcase and its high-traffic location allows exhibitors to reach out to new business while still connecting with buyers on the Show floor. This additional outreach is not only free, but has proven to be effective.

According to SEMA Show Management’s post-Show survey, more than half of buyers reported that they visit an exhibitor’s booth after researching the company’s product in the Showcase.

The New Products Showcase Promo Package is offered to exhibitors through the new products entry form as an optional upgrade. This is a great opportunity for exhibitors to add value and additional exposure to their presence in the New Products Showcase—the SEMA Show’s No. 1 buyer and media destination.

The cost is $499 per product, and includes the following:

  • Company logo carpet ad (2x2 ft.) in the New Products Showcase.
  • A meter panel listing at the New Products Showcase entrance.
  • An enhanced product listing in the January issue of SEMA News.
  • Bonus: Those who purchase this promotion package before September 5 will be included in the Spotlight Product Listing section in the November issue of SEMA News.

The New Products Showcase is located on the Skybridge connecting the Central and South Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The high-traffic area serves as a destination for buyers, providing exhibitors with the valuable opportunity to attract new business without leaving their booths.

The Showcase is a small investment for exhibitors, one that offers valuable payoff at the Show and throughout the upcoming year. Each product is photographed, featured in SEMA publications, provided for media year-round on www.semaphotos.com, and made available to exhibitors for use in company advertising or promotions.

The first product entered in the New Products Showcase is free. Additional products entered in the Showcase cost $75 each if submitted by the Friday, October 11, deadline, $150 each thereafter. There’s no limit to the total number of products a company can display. The Showcase also includes a Featured Products section designed to get top-selling products exposure among buyers who may have missed last year’s Show.

Jeep

This is the ’21 Jeep Grand Cherokee, caught testing in Southern California.

The Grand Cherokee will get a complete redesign, inheriting a new platform derived from Alfa Romeo’s Giorgio underpinnings. Naturally, it will be significantly beefed up for a Jeep, but it allows for more technological advancements than the current WK2 Grand Cherokee that was designed in the DaimlerChrysler days. Included in the upgrades will be a 48-volt electrical system to power a new inline six-cylinder engine with mild hybrid assist that’s part of a new engine family from FCA. It’s expected this engine might supplant the 5.7L HEMI V-8, although a V-8 is all but certain to continue to power high-performance versions of the Grand Cherokee. The 3.6L Pentastar V-6 will continue, although benefit from direct injection. A plug-in hybrid variant is expected sometime after 2021.

While the Grand Cherokee will grow slightly, it will remain a strict two-row SUV with shorter overhangs and a more angled rear window. A three-row Jeep will be served by two upcoming seven-seat models, including the Grand Wagoneer. In keeping with Jeep tradition, a full-fledged Trailhawk model is also poised to return.

The Grand Cherokee is expected to be shown either late this year in Los Angeles or next year in New York before a mid-to-late 2020 on-sale date.
