Trade Shows Are A Great Way To See The Product You Want
Posted by Megan MacBride on Oct 11th 2021
In the fall issue of Northeast Carwasher, our very own Valerie Sweeney wrote an article about how a picture cannot always do a towel justice, and attending trade shows is a great way to see the quality of a product that a picture can’t convey.
The Importance Of Trade Shows:
Trade shows are a unique opportunity to meet current or new vendors. They also provide a space to compare many products at the same time. The internet makes shopping easy, but it can’t replace being able to physically see, touch and feel a product to get a true understanding for the quality. Even the best pictures and descriptions will lack in this area and attending a trade show will let you see if a product is right for your business.
What Towel Characteristics To Look For:
Some people shop based on price. For example, if cars exit your bay almost dry, an inexpensive limited use towel will work just fine without the need to pay for a top tier product. However, if thickness is super important, you’ll need to decide between lightweight or heavier weight towels. Lightweight towels are easier to handle and break in quicker, but they become saturated faster and need to be swapped out more frequently. Conversely, heavier weight towels can hold more water and can be used longer.
What Style Towel Do You Want:
Do you want terry or microfiber towels? Are huck or bar towels your preference? What’s the difference between the various types of microfiber towels available on the market? For those who are new to the car wash industry, attending a trade show and feeling each of these different styles of towels can be very helpful in selecting the right one(s) for your wash/detail center.
