The North American Trailer Dealers Association is an association that is built on finding ways to increase the overall business performance for our members . Every program that we provide , including our annual trade show , is created with that in mind . One of our favorite ways of engaging with our members is through our Dealer Education webinar series .
Our first couple webinars , Increase Profits for Your Dealership in 2017 hosted by Rainmaker Consulting and Beyond Your Website – Why Online Advertising , Social Media , and Reputation Management Matter hosted by Netsource Media , was a massive success to start off the year . Our January webinar , for example , had one of the highest participation rates with 50 + dealerships preregistered . The feedback and comments we received about both of our webinars lets us know that we ’ re on the right track to help guide the industry in a positive direction .
These , along with our trade show ’ s dealer education and technical workshops , are designed to offer information that will help your dealership improve . A successful dealership isn ’ t something that pops up overnight . It is something that takes time to mature . We hope that , by participating in the different types of events we host , your dealership cultivates that success at an exponentially faster rate . If you have topics you think should be discussed , please let us know . We would love to make sure we ’ re providing relevant information that our members will find educational and useful .
None of what we do here at the association would be possible without the support of our members . We ’ d like to thank every dealer who participated in the 2017 NATDA Proud Member program . This reminded everyone here at the association of just how many wonderful people we encounter throughout the day . Thank you to all our dealers , manufacturers and vendors for continuing to make this such a wonderful association !
