SEMA may be cancelled, but thousands of customers are waiting to buy your products, and we have a plan.
What: We have already developed turn-key launch programs for new products, car builds and brands. Reach more people for less money than a traditional in-person program, targeted to your specific consumer, market segment and distribution model.
How: Through a turn-key marketing package that targets thousands of industry contacts and millions of consumers targeted by interest, utilizing a seamlessly integrated package of virtual programming, live video, social media content, PR and targeted digital marketing.
Why: Wednesday’s news that the 2020 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show was the latest event to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic hit the aftermarket automotive industry like a tornado in a trailer park. Having a standalone digital launch managed by the KM team is faster, more targeted and has more trackable defined return on investment than even the best in-person program.
How: Using car builds, product spotlights, produced and live content, carefully orchestrated media coverage, engaged influencers and the 1.1M-strong Kahn Media Network of auto enthusiast social media channels for maximum exposure and ROI.
Who: Kahn Media has been helping our clients get the most from their SEMA Show presences for more than a decade, including introducing an increasing number of digital solutions for clients to amplify their presence outside of those physically in attendance at the event.
