Do you have a great marketing idea that worked great for you? Sharing it with the other participants at Auto Glass Week™ (AGW) just might yield you a complimentary visit to Auto Glass Week™ 2027.
The Marketing Tank at Auto Glass Week™ gives attendees a chance to present a proven marketing item/gimmick/strategy they used that worked well. Marketing expert Patricia Smiley, president of Quackt Glass, an AGSC board member and leader of this session, hopes the Shark Tank-styled session will provide attendees with “real-life tools and ideas that they can take home and use right away.”
As an added incentive, the Auto Glass Week™ panel of experts will select one standout presentation to receive complimentary full registration and hotel accommodations for Auto Glass Week™ 2027 –assuming at least five participate.
The Marketing Tank will take place on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 2 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. in the Learning Lab, Classroom 1. Presentations are limited to five minutes (hard stop) to ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate. A formal presentation or slide deck is not required, but is welcome if it helps showcase your idea. “If you did a door hanger that worked tremendously well, bring it,” said Smiley.
Presentation opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so participants are encouraged to sign up early.
