Peterborough, Ontario — October 25, 2017 — Following the success of Collision Repair magazine’s inaugural Buyer’s Guide and Directory last year, we are now pleased to announce that the highly-praised publication will return in 2018.
The guide offers shop owners a key reference for the entirety of 2018, giving them the resources needed to search through the maze of new suppliers and product offerings for the year, as well as connect with the ones that will best push their business forward.
The Buyer’s Guide and Directory, which will be available in print, as a digital version and online as a searchable database on our website at collisionrepairmag.com/buyers-guide, draws on Collision Repair magazine’s 17 years in publication. It offers a comprehensive look at the evolving services, equipment, innovations and companies available in the collision repair industry in 2018.
Darryl Simmons, Publisher of Collision Repair magazine, said: “After the success of our first Buyer’s Guide and Directory in 2017, we are now looking forward to creating a comprehensive guide to help the daily operations and prosperity of your business.”
It will feature a curated collection of the most innovative tools and equipment for the year, a product spotlight on the latest new items and a directory listing that features insurance partners, consolidators, accreditation programs, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, OEMs and much more.
Entries Now Open!
Collision Repair magazine is now seeking companies and suppliers to share their contact and product information with us for both the directory and product listings. This is a free opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to build their brand and connect with collision repair shop owners across the country.
The Buyer’s Guide and Directory will separate products into six categories (abrasives and adhesives, alignment and measuring, management and software, paint and refinishing, tools and accessories and welding), with a description explaining the product and how it will benefit the shop.
Each entry will feature a high-resolution image that will give shop owners and managers a view of the latest innovations, as well as contact details to help create direct dialogues between suppliers and owners.
An overview of the industry’s hottest products, as well as a near-infinite directory listing, gives shop owners a fast and easy way to find the perfect service that can help improve your business. Whether it’s easily finding the details of a supplier they have previously heard of, or pointing them in the direction of a completely new company, the guide will give shop owners the information they need to take the best steps forward.
The 2018 Buyer’s Guide and Directory will be distributed to more than 9,000 key stakeholders within the industry, and will feature more than 300 companies and 70+ products. To send us your Buyer’s Guide and Directory submissions, please visit collisionrepairmag.com/buyers-submissions.
