The Industry's #1 Resource


From Nov. 3 to 6, AVIDWORX and Race Sport will be showing off a new series of branded showcases, available in three sizes and configurations for retailers - Basic, Plus and Pro.

Authorized Race Sport retailers will benefit from an educational and interactive Customer Experience Center built by AVIDWORX, drawing more attention to your lighting category.

As well, retailers will get a rebate of over 25% on the showcases themselves -- including a monitor that broadcasts educational video and a mediaWORX media player that captures real-time showroom analytics.

Race Sport will also help authorized retailers to recoup their showcase investment over time through an innovative dealer incentive program. More details on the program are available at AVIDWORX.com/racesport/.

"Race Sport truly is a visionary company when it comes to design and product development, and we're excited to work with them, and with their retailers to draw more attention to the brand," said Marcel Newell, president of AVIDWORX. "Lighting is a fast-growing category in many markets, but many retailers still aren't showing it in an interactive way that increases sales. We're going to change that."

Basic showcases start at $999, or $27/month - once a rebate of $278 is applied upon proof of installation. Add a second and third showcase to increase display space for additional savings of $200 and $400 respectively.

Retailers can save even more if they bundle with other product displays - 10% on showcases and up to 100% off shipping!

To see the showcases for yourself, drop by booth #11849, opposite the Mazda booth in the North Hall. SEMA takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center (www.semashow.com).

Race Sport Lighting, a leading pioneer of automotive aftermarket lighting solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with MAP Services, a pioneer in enforcing Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policies, aimed at preserving the integrity of Race Sport Lighting's brand pricing and addressing unauthorized online sales practices.

As the automotive aftermarket industry continues to thrive and evolve as brick and mortars expand their offerings to their online clientele, Race Sport Lighting remains committed to ensuring that its products are profitable to thousands of dealers across North America.
