The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ), the state’s largest association of collision and mechanical repairers, has unveiled a state-of-the-art Web site for its flagship event, the NORTHEAST 2009 trade show at the Meadowlands Exposition Center (MEC). The official NORTHEAST 2009 site is www.aaspnjnortheast.com. NORTHEAST 2009 will take place March 20-22, 2009, at the MEC in Secaucus, N.J. “This is an amazing representation of the NORTHEAST show. For the first time in 32 years, we can say the show has a 21st century online presence,” says AASP/NJ President Tom Elder. “This forward-thinking type of site is what AASP/NJ has been attempting to get from our show producers for the last decade. Although it took some serious changes to get to where we wanted to go, I think one look at the Web site justifies everything. We are proud to be represented by www.aaspnjnortheast.com.” The new site is full of information about the NORTHEAST show and AASP/NJ, sponsors of the event for the last 32 years. An integral part of the site is the interactive floor plan, which allows vendors to see which booths have been booked and which locations best serve their needs. Also included is AASP/NJ’s advanced NORTHEAST marketing plan that was developed to entice the over 75, 000 automotive repair shops in the NORTHEAST to attend the Meadowlands show.
“Our priority in moving to the Meadowlands was to attract as many automotive professionals as we could to a place where they would want to go, where there are so many advantages that it would be a mistake to go anywhere else,” Elder says. “One visit to the site and you’ll see we are on our way to accomplishing that.”
The AASP/NJ History section includes a 32-year timeline of the NORTHEAST show as well as an exclusive slideshow taking you on a tour from the very first show in 1978 through NORTHEAST 2008. |
