If you are an auto detailer who specializes in detailing older cycles such as Harley Davidson's then perhaps you might like to detail than at trade shows. This can be an incredible marketing opportunity for your company and it also pays very well.
Other people in the industry and region will see you if you wear company shirts with your name and phone number on them. Also it pays to have some business cards for each motorcycle detailing person on your crew.
Motorcycle manufacturers and aftermarket accessory part makers need and desire motorcycle detailing services at trade shows and they are willing to pay top dollar. Often they pay in cash and how can you beat that? What does it take to get such accounts?
Well, you may be surprised actually, as it is very easy to score such bonus type accounts. If you live in a city that has tradeshow activities is important to watch which groups are coming out in the future for trade shows. Then you need to go to the industry association web sites promoting the show and make sure you somehow get on the vendors list or go through the vendors list of all the people who will be at the tradeshow in contact them directly and let them know you are in the local area and ready to serve.
It is best to contact the marketing department of the motorcycle manufacturer or aftermarket accessory company and pitch them the ability that you have to keep everything clean even though the ventilation system will be pushing dust all over their equipment. If they know they can count on you that you become part of their team.
There are many additional benefits and bonuses to working with motorcycle manufacturers and aftermarket accessory part makers at trade shows. For instance the food is excellent and the parties are even better. Please consider this in 2006.
