Barrett-Jackson Car Auction - W. Palm Beach, Florida - April 6-9

Hi Y'all!


Thursday started pretty slow but picked as the day went on. I noticed that a lot or the customers we talked to was from the north and were talking about the equipment that is stored back at home (two birds one location). Friday and Saturday were perfect days and the traffic was very heavy with lots of good questions.

On location!

Cool Rides Going up for Auction!

Posing with some fans - rough life!

 - We had many come by just to say thanks you for making a great product and that they use the STA-BIL brands all the time. 

 - Several testimonials on how their car, boat, motorcycle, or lawnmower that had set up for the summer or the winter and had started right up because they had STA-BIL in the fuel. 

 - Many talked about how they had to replace their fuel lines because of ethanol. 

 - I had one guy that was trying to shame another guy into replacing his rubber fuel lines in his boat as he had seen so many fuel lines on boats go bad because of the ethanol in the fuel. He said spend the money now or pay the price later. 

 - A customer with a motor home said he was looking for the STA-BIL for Diesel so I told him WAL-MART had it. He had seen an article in a magazine on the STA-BIL for Diesels and wanted to try it and that he uses the other STA-BIL products. 

 - I had a couple of people that told me they were using the ISO-HEET brand in their boat and it is running like a top. 

 - Some people said they use the HEET product as a gas line antifreeze when they are at home during the winter.

 - I had several that had used the NO LEAK and had great results. They wanted to thank me for a great product.

Until next time!

Monster Truck Show - Clay County, Florida - April 1-3

Hi Y'all!

I set up on that Thursday evening at the Clay County Fairgrounds. We had a great crowd on Friday and Sat., with many coming by to ask questions about our products. On Friday night we even did a racing exhibition with the local news station reporter riding my STA-BIL brand mower. See news4jax.com.

 - I had many to say they used the STA-BIL Marine Formula brand in everything from their chainsaws to their boats and that they hadn’t had any problems. 

 - I was surprised at how many people talked about the fuel going to 15% ethanol. What is the 15% going to do to small engines? 

 - A customer that had a bad running 4-wheeler said it started running great after putting the Marine Formula STA-BIL in. 

 - A guy that just bought a boat said the original owner said he never ran the boat without STA-BIL Marine Formula in it. 

 - The employee for the city said because all of their fuel is treated with Marine Formula he started using it at home. 

 - A Marine Formula user said his friend didn’t use STA-BIL and now he is having problems. 

 - There was a marine dealer that didn’t know we had a gallon size said he was going to order them. 

 - One said the Marine Formula was the greatest stuff and that he had spent over $100 to fix his carburetor and hadn’t had any problem now that he is using it. 

 - A farmer with a 300 gallon tank wanted the STA-BIL for Diesels so I told him about Tractor Supply having the product. 

 - A Marine Formula customer for three years said he keep two of the 32 oz bottles in his boat all the time. 

 - I was asked what to use to get water out of his diesel fuel so I told him about the ISO-HEET brand and also about STA-BIL for Diesels. 

 - I had several comments about using the HEET brand products in this area. We talked about the ISO-HEET being a good water remover. 

 - I gave a bottle of the ISO-HEET to a customer with water problems and told him how the ISO-HEET also had cleaners in it.

A good event where the end user was definitely there. These guys take care of there equipment and are up to date on fuels and additives. Many talked about storing fuel and of course saving money.
