MATS Solutions

  • MATS exhibit space ensured Western Star would be face-to-face with attendees to allow them to engage their target audience and to showcase new products, build brand awareness and nurture important relationships.
  • The MATS Floor plan map logo & Logo enhanced listing help Western Star stand out from other exhibitors and to better reach the MATS audience in the official exhibitor list and floor plan.
  • MATS included Western Star in the Ride & Drive program to allow attendees to experience the new X-series trucks. The Ride & Drive program included extensive pre-show promotion, and strategic on-site positioning to ensure a high level of participation and increased consideration for the Western Star brand.
