Hi #AVtweeps! Good morning and happy Friday! I hope you are all making it through the week in one piece. I have some great content for you — so I will keep it short, sweet and to the point.

First of all, check out the very latest from Lee Distad. He writes about the interesting and ever-evolving relationship between resellers and manufacturers/distributors. If you have caught wind of or seen attempts in the industry to skip B2B resellers in the food chain from manufacturer to end user — here is why that’s not going to end up with a great result. Also, rAVe’s very own Morgan Lawrence writes about how life is a highway. JK, her blog is about the cross section of AV and motorsports. They are more connected than you would think — and she would know, as she is very involved in the motorsport industry. Check it out!

Finally, catch the latest updates from Amber Solutions, Wolf Audio, Extron and more.

Stay cool.

COLUMNS

 

+ Relationships Matter; So Work Together [Lee Distad]

In the past, I’ve seen manufacturers or their distributors see declining sales from their B2B resellers and look to find revenue growth by reaching out and offering to sell to and service the end users directly. To reiterate: I’ve seen it before — and because time is a flat circle, I’m seeing it happen again.

+ The Impact of AV in Motorsports [Morgan Lawrence]

Racing is more than just putting a driver in a car and hoping they cross the finish line first. The drivers and the car certainly play a massive role in the success, but racing has become a data-driven sport. Technology has become a requirement for teams to have a competitive advantage.
