So, you REALLY want to have a car show? That's great! Car shows can be loads of fun for all involved and can be very profitable for the club, organization, business or people organizing the event.

What's even better is that YOU are trying to educate yourself so you do the best job possible. After all, you found your way to CarShowPromoter.com, so you're way ahead of most inexperienced car show organizers who just "wing it" because car show specific event planning information is not easily found in the local library.

Conventional thinking would say that a small Saturday afternoon car show would have few benefits to offer sponsors due to its size. But the reality is a when paired with the right sponsor, even the smallest car shows can offer good return on investment (ROI) for the sponsor.

Since a smaller shows means a smaller sponsorship fee charged, it's actually easier to provide good ROI for the sponsor by making sure to include various benefits (known in the sponsorship industry as "assets") that are easy to provide. You can provide exhibit space for your sponsor as well mentions in any advertising you do. Every logo and sponsor name mention has marketing value for the sponsor.

While we'd all love to rent a big indoor convention center or maybe a NASCAR speedway to host a car show, the reality is major facilities like those cost tens of thousands of dollars to rent for the day. That's a little out of reach for most promoters looking to put on their first event.

So where can you put on a car show without spending a fortune on facilities? Let's do some brainstorming and see what we can find in your area.

OK, maybe it's not exactly step one, but it's pretty close. While you're mulling over names for your car show, be thinking about possible website domain names to match it. A website for your event can be one of the most powerful marketing tools you can have. In today's internet driven world, your website should become a central focus of your promotional efforts.

You want the domain name (and event name) to be easy to remember and spell. Don't use the year or "1st annual" in the domain name. If the event continues on, you'll want to use the same site instead of starting all over.
