  The SEMA CIAPE China Business Development Conference is a low-cost way for SEMA members to explore the business potential in China and establish a strong, lasting presence in the country. 

U.S. auto parts manufacturers can grow their businesses and connect with Chinese buyers by participating in the SEMA CIAPE China Business Development Conference. Utilizing a one-on-one appointment-based approach, the new event is a low-cost way for SEMA members to explore the business potential in China and establish a strong, lasting presence in the country. This matchmaking event takes place September 23–26, 2010, in Beijing, China, and is being held in conjunction with the China International Auto Parts Expo (CIAPE).

Unlike traditional trade shows, the SEMA CIAPE China Business Development Conference will pair auto parts manufacturers with relevant Chinese buyers in up to a dozen private, pre-scheduled meetings.

Registration, available at www.sema.org/china, provides each exhibitor with a private meeting space, meeting furniture and equipment, a professional interpreter, meals and hotel accommodations for the duration of the event, all for a single low fee. The program includes exclusive networking events and a VIP tour of the CIAPE trade show.

Organizers intend the conference to be a do-it-yourself event, designed for exhibitors to carry all they need in one suitcase.

"The Chinese vehicle customization market is in its infancy, but it’s quickly growing and presents the single biggest potential opportunity for members looking to expand overseas," said SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting. Given that the market is still early in development, we have built a low-cost program that is high in potential return."

CIAPE chairman Mr. Rengui Li added: "SEMA manufacturers will discover that there is a high demand for vehicle accessorization and tuning in China. Participants will hear directly from Chinese buyers and learn how they can succeed in the country."

SEMA Director of International Relations Linda Spencer noted that the event is straightforward and simple. "All an exhibitor needs to do is show up with a stack of brochures and product samples. It’s that simple."

Additional details about the event are available at www.sema.org/china or by contacting Linda Spencer at lindas@sema.org.

The all-new SEMA-member Pay Per Buyer (PPB) benefit program is designed to help SEMA reseller members sell more product by reaching the consumer at the point of sale.

The all-new SEMA-member Pay Per Buyer (PPB) benefit program is an online auto parts consumer comparison shopping network of more than 60 different websites and forums that draws more than four million visitors monthly. Example sites include EnjoyTheDrive.com, StreetPerformance.com, AutoWeek.com and more.

"Resellers represent one of the largest and most important membership groups within SEMA, and we’re always looking to provide new programs and services that will help them grow their businesses," said Nathan Ridnouer, SEMA’s vice president of membership and councils. "The PPB program offered through our affiliate partner, Digital Performance Inc., will provide our members with the ability save money on a great marketing platform that will give them greater control and the ability to track their online ad campaigns.”

Gigi Ho, founder of Digital Performance Inc., added: "By participating in this program, SEMA reseller members have the opportunity to sell more product by reaching the consumer at the point of sale. This partnership with SEMA adds so much value to our already successful program by providing another effective way to connect the buyer with the seller."

The PPB program offers many benefits that you simple don’t get with conventional pay-per-click (PPC) programs:

  • Consumers can search for products by year, make, model, manufacturer, category or part number.
  • Product listings only appear to a site visitor specifically shopping for a brand of a product. That means they are "hot leads."
  • Resellers pay only for buyers who click on the "shop now" button and land in their eCommerce store product landing page. Buyers with no interest don’t click, and resellers don’t pay.
  • SEMA members receive a 50% discount on the initial deposit and a 15% discount on the Pay Per Buyer program rate.

For more information and enrollment, visit www.SEMA.org/PPB, contact Monica Terlouw, SEMA member outreach director, at MonicaT@sema.org or call 909/978-6695.
