APRIL 2011 LCT Brings The Big Show Home

POST-SHOW SUCCESS: The chauffeured transportation industry got back into a forward stride this year, as our April 2011 issue of LCT MAGAZINE reports in so many ways.
 
ON THE COVER: Industry ladies led the way this year with LCT's first-ever breast cancer research effort and a sixth annual Women's Entrepreneurs Forum at the 2011 International LCT Show that gets packs more momentum each year.
 
INSIDE FEATURES: Now posted at LCTMAG.COM. . . a features sampler that includes the VEHICLES BIG PICTURE IN THE MKT ERA that launched at the Show; LCT’s new assistant editor, Michael Campos, pens a first-in-three years UPDATE ON LIMO WEDDING TRENDS; an in-depth profile of The Midnight Rider, a semi-tractor trailer that is the LARGEST LIMOUSINE IN THE WORLD; a look at how BIG BUSES ARE MAKING MONEY FOR OPERATORS; and finally, a relevant question posed by LCT Publisher Sara Eastwood-McLean: WHY AREN’T LIMOS GETTING INVITED TO THE PARTY?
MARKETING TIPS: Arthur Messina of Create-A-Card Inc. explains how operators can STAY AHEAD OF THE PROM MARKET, which remains a strong money-maker and loyalty-builder among the youngest limo clients and their parents.
 
WEB POLL: This month’s big question: Are you ready to be first in line to order the LINCOLN MKT TOWN CAR? See the quick poll smack center on the home page of LCTMAG.COM.
 
2011 FACT BOOK COMING: May brings the most important LCT issue of the year: The 2011-12 Industry Fact Book and Guide. This year we sent out a revamped, updated survey that drew more operator responses and more accurate responses than ever. Good news: The industry is definitely coming back. Look for more tidbits on the state of the industry in coming weeks.
 
Thanks to all operators who attended the Show and provide such loyal support to LCT Magazine. Your April issue is in the mail.
