THE RIGHT FIT

World of Wheels spectators are avid fans; over 75% of those attending have been to earlier events. Approximately 45% have visited World of Wheels events four or more times. Audience satisfaction with these events is attested to by the incredibly high (97.3%) rate of recommending attendance to others. They use the event to learn the latest ideas in performance customization.

Participation in the events elevates the involvement of your company to top-of-mind awareness among key consumers. As with any consumer brand, brand awareness often equals product superiority.

Participating in the series of events provides an opportunity to capitalize on the marketing and sales potential of each show. Your effort would be targeted toward the following two consumer groups: Show participants and Show spectators.

Both of these audiences share similar demographic make-up. Our research shows that 72.9% of our audience tries to support companies that sponsor World of Wheels events.

This mindset provides an excellent opportunity to provide spectators and exhibitors with a special promotion that includes a call to action.

OPPORTUNITIES

Participation in the events creates a solid platform to launch an aggressive sampling effort among the key target audiences. Together, we can create an activation plan that reaches each audience at all levels including, awareness building, on-site relationship building, and post-event sales.
