             Norweld Australia have been attending the National 4x4 Show in Brisbane since
             2015. In the last four years we have noticed a steady increase in the number or
             customers attending the show and in turn allowing us to reach more prospective
             leads. For many existing customers it’s their annual pilgrimage to the show and
             a chance to catch up with us. We have found a format for the show that works
             very well for our business and our style of selling. We are able to display our
             promotional vehicle fitted with Norweld trays and canopies in a way that allows
             customers to check them out without us feeling like pushy salespeople. We can
             answer any questions and demonstrate key features in an environment that is
             friendly and open. - NORWELD AUSTRALIA
             This was our first expo, an exercise in brand awareness, to measure brand

             all the exhibitors and cashed up visitors means we will be back. Thank you very

VISITORS TESTIMONIAL

             Amazing event for all ages to get fresh ideas and to get excited about seeing the
             Aussie outback! Well worth it. Looking forward to the next one! – NATALIE

             This was my first time at the Melbourne show and it was far and away the best
             4WD/outdoors/camping/caravan show that I have been to anywhere in Australia.
             Already looking forward to next year. - DAVID

             Absolutely ripper show to check out. It’s got just about everything you could think
             of, and then some. Heaps of really knowledgeable people around to help you
             out with any questions you might have, and a great time to snap up a few “show
             specials” – LACHIE

             Fantastic show! So many stalls for everyone’s needs and wants. We got ourselves a
             bargain we wouldn’t have got elsewhere! Was great to eat to speak to the experts
             about the different things we wanted and needed! - SAM

             2nd year I have attended the show and it was excellent. Plenty of huge names
             in the 4wd industry discussing trips and tips. Very interactive stands especially
             Narva with the VR system to test out different driving lights, definitely best stand I
             attended on the day. - IAN
