Welcome to the Aftermarket Show website
|
The Aftermarket Show 2008 took place on 10-13 January.
We would like to thank all our visitors, exhibitors, sponsors, partners, contractors and staff involved in the Aftermarket Show and Autosport International this January for contributing to the show’s continuous growth.
We wish all of you a successful year and motorsport season, and look forward to seeing you back in Birmingham on 8-11 January 2009. |
The Aftermarket Show explodes the idea that a trade exhibition should conform to the restrictive guidelines of a ‘traditional’ trade event. It has a style and charisma unique among exhibitions and it reflects the changing aftermarket landscape. Why should 1970’s thinking still apply to exhibitions, when it doesn’t in any other area of the business?
The 21st century aftermarket business must drive its products into the market - chasing sales wherever they might lead. In the same way, that business must also pursue the audience when it comes to exhibitions - it must go where the customers go.
The Aftermarket Show fuses business and pleasure, through the medium of motorsport, at Autosport International. Aftermarket people - just like everyone else - want to be entertained and interested, and motorsport provides entertainment in abundance and with obvious business relevance. By combining the twin benefits of profit and leisure, we are delivering what the time conscious trade visitor is looking for; the motorsport backdrop attracts the visitor, while the aftermarket presence profits the visitor. It makes sound business sense.
The Aftermarket Show 2007 saw visitor numbers increase by over 25% from the 2006 show, returning a registered trade gate of 3,985 aftermarket visitors. In addition, our research during the show projects that another 1,680 aftermarket trade visitors came over the weekend, so the combined aftermarket total stands at over 5,600 - from across all sectors of the industry. Whether your need is to communicate with the retailer, the distributor, the installer or a combination of these sectors, it is clear that The Aftermarket Show is for you.
