AAPEX co-owners – the Auto Care Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA), the light vehicle aftermarket division of the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) – attribute the growth in part to the all-new Service Professionals Program set to debut at the 2014 AAPEX. The free program, sponsored by MAHLE Service Solutions, will provide customized AAPEXedu sessions to address service professionals biggest pain points, a Recruiting and Retaining Conference, facilitated roundtable discussions, in-booth auto parts and tool and equipment demonstrations exclusively for service professionals, a new General Session featuring keynote speaker Steve Forbes and the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) Fall 2014 General Meeting. The AVI Training Conference also is part of the Service Professionals Program, however, separate registration and a fee are required to participate in the conference.<br />
<br />
AAPEX also reports that many AAPEXedu sessions for service professionals are near capacity. Based on registrations thus far, the sessions noticeably hitting the mark with service professionals include: “The Secrets of Social Media Marketing Success,” “How to Build an Online Marketing Machine,” “Brand Building for Your Future,” “Ready, Blame, Fire!

Oct. 20, 2014 – The Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) has debuted a series of “Ask Joe” videos to help attendees prepare for AAPEX and grow their business while at the event.

<br />
The new videos are: “<a href="http://vimeo.com/108533943" target="_blank">We’ve Got an App for That!</a>” to encourage attendees to download and use the AAPEX 2014 Mobile App sponsored by ZF Services; “<a href="http://vimeo.com/108540318" target="_blank">Get a Free Ride on Our AAPEX Shuttle Service</a>” to make sure attendees take advantage of the shuttle service between the Sands Expo Center and most official AAPEX hotels; and “<a href="http://vimeo.com/108436662" target="_blank">Who’s an AAPEX ‘Ask Joe</a>’” to introduce attendees to customer service attendants who will be on the AAPEX show floor to answer their questions. Attendants will be easily identified by their stripped shirts with “Joe” insignia on the front and “Ask Joe” on the back. AAPEX exhibitor Red Kap produced this year’s shirts.<br />
<br />
Two additional videos will spotlight the 2014 AAPEXedu program with its nearly 50 sessions and the all-new Service Professionals Program making its debut at this year’s AAPEX. To watch the new AAPEX videos, visit: vimeo.com/aapex.<br />
<br />
In addition to the “Ask Joe” videos and customer service attendants on the show floor, attendees also can get help while at AAPEX by visiting the full-service and self-service stations located throughout AAPEX.<br />
