Need Information about car shows and Auto Magazines

[YourEmbelm.Com]

Since I opened my car accessory business- actually customized emblems businesss ( www.YourEmblem.Com ), I need to go to car trade shows and posting advertising in online/offline magazine.

1. Does anyone knows where can I get the whole list of car shows and which one is big events?

2. Same question to magazines, which magazines I should pay for adverting?

Frankly, I never been in the industry before and so many information are available on the web. So, I do not have any idea for either car shows or magazines?

Please help me....

Target a market first.
Can you make reproduction emblems identical to original? Then start with Hemmings. "Turbo" and similar generic badges? Sport Compact tuner mags etc Rex in Fort Worth

You may want to look into joining AAIA (Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association). Check them out at http://www.aftermarket.org

He's working for himself.
I applaud him.

The point is that it's a fake appeal for help in order to increase awareness for his stickers while not appearing to be an advertisement. He knows the answers to his questions.

Sounds like you're looking for marketing advice. I suggest two soft cover books that will help you. First read Guerilla Marketing Attack (2nd book in the series) for motiviation and then Guerilla Marketing (1st book in the series) for how to market your business. These are books written for small business owners who don't have a million dollar marketing budget. They give you about a hundred ideas on how to market your business and the most important information on the motiviation to go out there and do it.

There's some great information that you need to know, for example, it takes about 7 phone calls to get to the right person in a company. A customer must see your company name 21 times before they will remember it. I know that when my boss and I read Guerilla Marketing Attack, we were gungho on getting out and selling. Great motivational book.
