PRP 2023 - Wrap Up
We've literally just landed back in Oz after a whirlwind trip of the US!
We started with the PRP Conference and it was great to see so many familiar faces.
Thanks to everyone who came by our stand to try some Aussie Vegemite plus enter the competition to win our Aussie Hamper.
Kevin from Cocoa's won the hamper. Given he was one of the only Americans who enjoyed their Vegemite experience - we are thrilled he will get to keep enjoying his very own jar of Vegemite and Tim Tams.
There was a lot of interest from people at our stand in our ebay offering and how we are getting 122% increase for our customers who are applying our ebay optimisation and listing solutions.
We soft launched our new Video Wizard and Image Wizard - which was very successful and received very positively. A real game changer for ebay sellers, enabling them to get video onto every ebay listing just 1 minute!
APS Inventory also got a lot of interest - as currently being used by many customers around the world, we provide highly trained remote inventory specialists to free up time and on the ground staff.
We had a great turn out for our presentation on using digital marketing to increase your phone sales. Feedback was very positive and we had a full room of sales people.
Big thank you to Mike Lambert who hosted us around Colorado for the few days prior to the conference. It was lovely to get out of Denver and see some of the sights of Colorado and Colorado Springs.
We had an excellent tour at Daurio Auto Truck, and were able to see their terrific yard in full swing. Very impressive operation. Thank you to them for hosting us.
We spent time at Stadium Auto Parts with Mike and Paul D'adamo which again - was a very impressive yard with some very good operating systems. Big space that was purpose built. Thanks to Rob for taking us around and sharing his knowledge and experience.
We enjoyed some brilliant dinners out with Mike, Shan Latham (Cocoa) and Vince Edivan (ARA) plus plenty of other terrific people and friends from the industry.
We then spent a day with Sean and Coleen at Speedway Auto Parts in Chicago, who were big award winners at the PRP conference. They are doing a great job with their buying that of course translates into sales pretty quickly. Georgia enjoyed talking marketing with Coleen and Amilia.
iDrive Auto Parts in Detroit was an eye opener - thanks to Calvin and his family. And how about the open day hosted by Bill Tolpa and the team at Tolpa's Auto Parts. A great turn out, a really impressive operation and wonderful people.
The long drive down to Chuck's Auto Parts, where Doug spent a few hours with us. If you ever have the opportunity, make sure you visit Doug, JR and Dakota Reinart. WOW!
My Auto Store in New Jersey? Multiple disassembly lines, multiple sites, an amazing head office and excellent hosts in Chris and Joe.
Finally down to our great friends, Peter and Long at Airline Auto Parts in Houston. Growing like crazy and just really good people.
So now we are back - a few pounds heavier - and raring to go implement all the products that have been so well received in the US.
Don't forget if you ever want a demo of any of our products, or simply want to have a chat about your facility - book in a call with myself or Georgia using the big button below.
