The deadline to get additional publicity for the industry icon, TV personality, celebrity or famous vehicle appearing in your booth is next Friday, September 4. Let SEMA know about your famous guest by submitting the Celebrity Appearance Notification form.

Simply include your company name, booth number, the date and time that the special personality or attraction will be available to Showgoers. The information will be included in the SEMA Show Celebrity Appearances section on www.SEMAShow.com and will also be provided to attendees and media during the 2015 SEMA Show.



A common reason that companies host a celebrity is to drive booth traffic by providing buyers with a identifiable, visual connection of the company's target market. However, celebrities are not the only tactic that draws buyer attention.

SEMA Show research identifies giveaways as one of the most effective methods to attract buyers. In fact, 2014 SEMA Show buyers cited freebies among the top five leading reasons for them to visit an exhibitor’s booth, along with product or vehicle displays, product demonstrations and a unique booth layout/design.

Questions? Contact Gina Ledesma at ginal@sema.org or 909-978-6668.

Exhibitors can learn how to get the most out of their 2015 SEMA Show, as well as additional options to reach buyers, by contacting an account rep at sales@sema.org or 909-396-0289.

Utilizing a custom-built, user-friendly interface, SEMA Search allows product lookups by vehicle, engine, brand, product category or keyword.

“SEMA Search not only provides a great reference for products in the SEMA marketplace, but it also provides a real-world look at the quality of supplier data sets,” noted Craig Schmutzler, SDC's director of customer support. “As we continue to work with suppliers to improve their data through our data-quality score-carding process, they can see the improvement in a very visual way as soon as the data is loaded.”

Nowhere else in the industry can a supplier get the quality tools, technical help and control in data management like they can in the SDC. We are all about enabling suppliers to have complete ownership and control of their data, in the most affordable manner possible.”

The SEMA Search tool is open to all sales and support people in the SEMA marketplace by simply logging on to www.SEMASearch.com and signing up for free login credentials. An easy-to-use feedback button allows anyone to quickly and easily report site issues, suggestions or errors that will go immediately to the SDC development team for evaluation.
