The 2012 Work Truck Show - 2011 Review

As we mentioned in the first article of this series about the 2012 Work Truck Show, we would be giving you some of the highlights from the 2011 Show. Indianapolis was the location and from March 6th through March 8th, attendance was over 10,000 which was a 24 percent increase over 2010. Read more from NTEA here.






Our worktruckproducts.com booth featured
SeatSaver® brand seat protectors, the Original DashMat® brand dash covers, Spidy-Gear® Bed Webb cargo management system, UVS100™ and Flex Shade™ windshield UV protectors, and Custom Cab Covers for trucks. For us, the show was a great success as always. With plenty of quality leads and the opportunity to speak with the right people in the work truck industry, The Work Truck Show is on our schedule every year.



We were also excited to be able to announce the launch of the Ford Carhartt Seat Cover program at the 2011 Work Truck Show. Read the product Press Release from Carhartt here. The Carhartt Seat Cover displays were extremely popular and caught the eye of just about everyone who came by. These Seat Covers are only available through Ford. Click HERE for more details!

2011 SEMA Show Recap - Inside the Covercraft Booth


Well, it has taken us a while to get back in the swing of things since the 2011 SEMA Show ended, but now we're ready to review a little of what we experienced this year in Las Vegas.
The show was as big as ever and the traffic appeared to be up from previous years. We enjoyed seeing so many old friends and meeting new ones.
We've had our booth in Central Hall for many years now but this year we moved up towards the Ford end of the hall. The location was awesome!
Great traffic all around us and our Exhibitor neighbors were first class.
Upon opening of the show, we took the opportunity to announce our Sponsorship of Motorz TV. Chris Duke and his crew made an appearance in the booth, shook hands, visited briefly and then shot video for the upcoming Motorz SEMA episode. We enjoyed catching up with them, showing off our signage announcing the deal, and then telling them about the products we had on display.







Our booth location wasn't the only change we had this year, we also changed our booth configuration. We brought in a couple of vehicles to show off our products and the response was extremely positive.


Our Jeep was outfitted with a custom LeBra brand mask, custom SeatSaver seat protectors in the front  and rear, a custom DashMat, Premium Floormats, Pocket Pods and a Spare Tire CoverWe also had a beautiful Mustang GT that showcased a Colgan Custom bra and mirror covers made from the Carbon Fiber vinyl fabric. A custom DashMat, UVS100 sunshield, and SeatGloves were in the front, while a custom Canine Cover was installed in the back seat. A custom Pocket Pod was installed in the trunk, and of course, a custom Form-Fit Cover that included the iconic Mustang logo that is available through our Ford Official Licensed
Product program. 


Both vehicles also included the Roadie by Ruff Rider; a canine vehicle restraint. The Roadie is designed to be the best canine vehicle restraint system, not just a dog harness. Everybody loves dogs, and our model dogs were frequently the subject of attendees' photographs!

We took the opportunity to have some media in the booth for product information interviews as well. Here are a couple of videos from our friends over at PowerTV.

DashMat® - America's #1 Dashboard Covers for Cars, Trucks and SUVs

In 1979, a US Air Force retiree living in Arizona noticed the number of vehicles driving around with towels and rags on the dash area in an effort to reduce the harsh heat and glare of the desert sun.
He experimented with a number of different materials, looking for both the ideal texture (to reduce glare) and insulation (to reduce heat build-up) and, after adding a latex backing for shape retention, he introduced the perfect carpet for his new product – DashMats.

Features of the Original DashMat®

    The all-new DashMat.com is up and running!

    In 1979, a US Air Force retiree living in Arizona noticed the number of vehicles driving around with towels and rags on the dash area in an effort to reduce the harsh heat and glare of the desert sun.
    He experimented with a number of different materials, looking for both the ideal texture (to reduce glare) and insulation (to reduce heat build-up) and, after adding a latex backing for shape retention, he introduced the perfect carpet for his new product – DashMats.
    Over the years, a variety of different fabrics have been perfected for DashMats – from the suede look, to velour and now the new warp-knit finish of the Ltd. Edition style. The UltiMat® was developed for people looking for a one-piece molded dash-area cover for the “ultimate” in style and finish.
    Our DashMat design center is still headquartered in Arizona and the Design Team has over 50 years experience in creating the best fitting patterns for your vehicle.
    That same design group also creates the patterns for our Premier™ Floor Mats and their attention to detail assures that whether you need dash or floor protection, we’ve got the right product for you!

    Quality products designed and built by the quality team at Covercraft.
