Here at the Show/

Well we made it to the Great American Truck Show with a few set backs but the start is going well.

We were to have 5 staff at this show but the owner of Soap Warehouse got a badly infected cyst on his hand and had to stay back in GA in the hospital to have it taken care of. So down 2 members from that. Then on Wednesday right before 5 pm we had an email from our models staffing company Statementmodles.com that our model decided she did not want the job she was paid a month ago to do and they were refunding us our money. Thanks a lot! So down to 2 staff members. Thank goodness we have friends here in Texas. We called and got a local friend that has done other kinds of trade shows in the past, although not for industrial soaps to drive over to help us at the last minute.

So far we have had a good response, seen some new owner operators that had sent in their drawing entries in early to us, some that read about us in the GATS newsletter or saw our ad in the Land Line magazine. We hope to have the next two days to be just as good. Will update everyone on how the whole show turned out along with a list of all our prize drawing winners at the end of the show.

The Great American Truck Show is almost here!

Well it is almost time to leave for Texas and I can tell you even though I have been getting ready for three months I think I will still be doing things until the minute we pull out of the parking lot!


We will be located in the left show room as you enter near the Pride and Polish areas at booth 14049. If you see the Trek Bikes you have found us, they are right next to us. Should be a big draw if they don't run over folks in the aisles!






We will be giving away prizes three times a day all three days of the show. Three Fox Fury Command 20 Headlamps and Six - 5 gallon pails of Big Rig Brite.


We will also have booth gifts of microfiber towels, dash sticky pads and sample sizes of our Odor Out neutralizer spray for drivers to use in their rig cabs. And one special item for Soap Warehouse customers that stop by to say hey. We will also have show only product specials.


The Fox Fury Command 20 Headlamp is a great item for truckers or anyone that has to work out at night and needs to have their hands free to work. It has 20 LED lights in a two row bar that fits across your forehead, with three different settings to adjust the amount of light you need for a task; from 4 center lights, 8 or all 20. It also has a red rear light to warn anyone coming up from behind you that you are there. Perfect for when you are walking outside of the truck checking on the trailer.


I have also just signed up for Twitter and if I can get service inside the Dallas Convention Center I might even take the time to send out a few tweets.

Well we sent out all the tickets people asked for a also a few extra to customers that buy a lot of truck wash that could possibly have folks they know going to the show, so if you get some in the mail and can not go please send them on to some one or some trucker that may like the chance to have that free $10 entry ticket paid for.


Have a great next 10 days and if I do not have a chance while at the show I will write again once we all are back here in GA. Remember the office will still be open while we are in TX so keep they orders coming and we will get them shipped out!

Myself along with the owner of Soap Warehouse and other staff will be on hand to meet you at our Booth #14049 to discuss our great line of truck washes and aluminum brighteners that will be the focus of this show. We would love to meet any of our current customers in person or any possible future customer that would like to introduce yourself to us. When you come by to see us make sure you let us know who you are, because all of our current customers that stop by will receive a special item just for coming by to say hello. We would love to hear stories of how our products have or are working for you and your business too. We will also have other booth only items to give-a-way to any attendee that stops to talk and discuss our products with them. We will have show only pricing specials as well as coupons for future purchases with us.

You may fill out a prize entry form before you even get to the show to have the first opportunity possible to win one of our daily booth prizes. You will find the link on the front of our website http://www.soapwarehouse.biz/ fill it out and fax it to 770-939-5501 to be entered.

We will be giving away every day of the show a Fox Fury Command 20 Headlamp and two 5 gallon containers of Big Rig Brite Truck Wash. The Fox Fury Headlamp has a retail value of $90 and the truck wash will be delivered to the winners location a value starting at $70 or more including the shipping.

These as well as our in booth give-a-ways are just some of the reasons to come meet us and enjoy yourself at the show.

The office in Georgia will still be open to serve our customers during the show, taking orders and shipping out product but please be understanding if the phone does not get answered as fast as usual or if someone has to call you back since we are leaving the front office just a little short staffed that week while the rest of us are in Texas.
