Showcar Appearance
In the weeks before your appearance, you will want to make sure that you are prepared to accommodate the showcar and trailer, as well as promote the appearance to any attendees. Here are some suggestions:
• If your budget allows, creating decor (such as posters and banners) to surround the car can make the display more exciting. FedEx Racing® items are available through the company store.
• FedEx team members may order additional items to support their event via the trade show team. Intranet keyword: tradeshow.
• The use of Brand-approved posters and flyers is highly recommended. They can be downloaded from the Resource Center.
• If you want to make custom collateral, you should submit the piece through brand.fedex.com and list Drew Karban ([email protected]) as the FedEx contact. Their helpline is 1.888.399.5999 for assistance.

Showcar Appearance• Photo opportunities are encouraged and we encourage you to share them with
the FedEx Racing team at [email protected]
• Include any tabling or displays that will educate your attendees about FedEx business (when relevant)
• Depending on your location, you want the showcar to have maximum visibility, to both your attendees as well as passers-by. Using the showcar hauler as a back drop for the location will assist in drawing attention.
• Poor Weather: In the event of rain or other inclement weather, every attempt will be made to make the car available if possible. While the trailers have awnings to protect against a light drizzle, the showcar will not be unloaded if conditions are extremely poor.
• Crisis Management: In the event of physical injury or other unforeseen problems, seek appropriate medical attention immediately and contact Drew Karban and Lisa Hawkins.
