January 22nd marked the first day of the industry's largest aftermarket RV parts trade show, The NTP-STAG Expo 2018, consisting of 33 product training seminars, expert-led PRO education seminars and jam-packed exhibitors and displays. NTP-STAG’s 2018 Expo got underway at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. You will find the best deals on product from wholesale suppliers, the most relevant educational opportunities and integrated merchandising and marketing solutions that will take your business to the next level. Companies can do research on what they want to offer to customers thinking about buying an RV or already have one and need work done.
The opening day of the trade show also featured luncheon presentations by Bryan Fletcher of Valterra – which also sponsored the luncheon – and Bill Rogers, vice pres-ident and general manager of Keystone Automotive’s NTP-STAG division. Rogers reported on the robust state of the industry, touching on the growing trends of young-er buyers and peer-to-peer business model, as well as some of the challenges that included service tech shortages, constrained production and the need for campground modernization. Rogers also went to great length in outlining the future of retailing as it shifts from a brick-and-mortar operation to one that should include an e-commerce component. Terming it an “omni-channel” approach, Rogers said it stems from understanding the way in which consumers do their shopping, citing several studies that illustrate the growing influence of online and other technologies. “There is little doubt that online shopping and social networking will set the tone for customer service and product performance expectations, and many retailers are channeling that into connectivity tools and programs to engage customers and build loyalty,” Rogers said.
