Volkswagen Van in Free Interbuild Registration Draw

Industry professionals registering to attend Interbuild 2002 in June at the NEC can be entered into a free prize draw in which they can win a Volkswagen van worth £20,000.

All entrants will be entered into the draw, and the winner will be announced on the Volkswagen stand at Interbuild.

Geoff Ross Marketing Director of Interbuild comments:

'We ran a similar competition for Interbuild 2000 and it was hugely successful attracting over 34,000 pre registrations. With increasing web usage throughout the construction industry and with our campaign starting much earlier this time we are confident of beating this total easily'.

Likewise Mike Owens, Marketing Communications Manager of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is pleased with the new competition:

'The construction industry is obviously a major market for Volkswagen and the win a van competition is an excellent way to make visitors aware of Volkswagen’s commercial vehicles and generate visitor traffic to our stand. We are looking forward to another successful show.'

The Volkswagen LT35 range has been designed to meet the needs of businesses today. 'Because it's a Volkswagen you can expect high build quality, a sensible range of standard equipment, a practical load area and an excellent driving environment.' the company says.

The full LT35 range offers panel vans, chassis cabs and double cabs with a wide choice of bodies including a factory built alloy dropside. There are three wheelbase lengths to choose from and a range of engines including four fuel efficient TDI diesels. The LT35 has a GVW of 3.5 tonnes and a payload of around 1.5 tonnes (depending on model).

Every LT35 diesel comes with extended service intervals of 30,000 miles (15,000 mile oil change) and 3 year warranty.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are offering the winner of the prize draw the opportunity to choose the LT35 that best suits their business needs up to a value of £20,000 'On the Road'. That may be a panel van or a dropside truck, or perhaps the chassis for a special body of their choice.

2000 online visitor registrations for Interbuild

With another four months to go before the show opens Interbuild is pleased announce that it has already received over 2000 online visitor registrations for the June 2002 exhibition.

Interbuild 2000 attracted 34,000 registrations through its website, and for 2002 it is expecting to increase this figure significantly, and by comparison is considerably ahead of the 2000 campaign already.

Geoff Ross, Marketing Director for Interbuild, strongly believes that online registration is the way forward. He says: 'Web registrations not only provide us with visitor data that is more accurate but it means that we are able to send email reminders in the lead up to and during the show ensuring a better conversion to attendance.'

Internet registrations are just one aspect of Interbuild’s online campaign. www.interbuild.com is a revolutionary new site designed to help visitors plan their time and exhibitors organise and market their presence at the show. For example, its Product Locator function enables visitors to search for exhibitors and products both before and after the show.

Interbuild takes place from the 9th to 13th June 2002, at Birmingham’s NEC. The show represents an unmissable opportunity to see new products and innovations, to network with industry colleagues and to find new ideas and inspiration that will help drive your business forward.
