As we start the busiest months for car shows, I am baffled at the lack of advertising from show promoters. And I am not talking about paid advertising, but FREE advertising.
I spend many an evening scrolling through Facebook looking for shows that are not listed on FlaCarShows.com. I direct email, Facebook messenger, comment under the post, anyway that I can introduce them to FCS. Amazingly enough, many don't submit their event. I have no clue as to why.
FCS received 1.7 MILLION page views in 2023. That is an average of 4600 Florida car people DAILY looking for shows. Why would you waste time posting anywhere else?
What also baffles me is why would you post your event solely on Facebook? With the hundreds of posts, shows get buried quickly. Plus what about the people who aren't on Facebook?
And here's another thing, organizers assume that everyone knows where their show is held. They don't. Flyers & FB posts have no city, no contact person, no phone number, no email. How do you promote a show when the promoter can't be contacted for info. I know this for a fact because I try constantly. Easy access to show information will yield better participation and happier people.
Oh and while I'm on my soapbox, do not be confused as to recent pop-ups of look-a-like websites. If you do not see the red/yellow/orange Florida logo, it is NOT FlaCarShows.com, which is still the largest, most comprehensive, and most accurate website dedicated to Florida-only car & truck shows.
Many thanks to those who support the car community and value our website and what we offer.
