A car display will give more visibility to your vehicles and attract new clients in your showroom. The more visibility, the more new clients, that's a simple equation. The Hipower car rotating display equipped with a banner support and a light package is presently the most effective car display on the market. The 3 X 52 feet banner attracts the attention of passing by customer right away and they will look at the vehicle on the display. We think that a car turntable equipped with the banner support is more then twice as effective as a simple car turntable.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Can you compare the effectiveness of the different types of cars displays?

Yes and we did with an extensive survey with our clients. We took into consideration the following variables:

The price of the car display,

The durability of the car display,

The space the car display takes on the ground (number of parking spots),

The pay back time, or the amount of time the display is entirely paid by bringing more sales,

The visibility of the car display.

Based on our findings, we came up with the following numbers for the effectiveness of the different car displays:

No displays: 1

Podium 5: 3 ( 3 means that a vehicle on a Podium is 3 times more effective than a vehicle on the ground in your front lot)

Podium 7: 3

Hipower rotating display: 8

Hipower rotating display with lights: 12

Hipower rotating display with banner support: 20

Hipower rotating display with banner support and lights: 30

So a single Hipower rotating display equiped with a banner support and a light kit will give you as much visibility as 30 vehicles parked on your front lot!
