W

hat a year! Even in the
most normal of times,
December is a great
month to take stock of the previous eleven months and look
ahead with a newfound perspective. This year, I'm really
excited about the second part of
that sentiment!
I know I've learned a lot this
year. I've learned how to navigate
endless Zoom calls. I've learned
how to turn live events into virtual events and ensure those
virtual events are still productive
and meaningful. I've learned that
connection and a little creativity
are so important when you can't
be face-to-face. While 2020 has
certainly been interesting, I don't
think I'm alone in wanting to
kick it to the curb and see what
adventures 2021 has in store.
Despite all that this year has
thrown at us, the team at Professional Distributor magazine
and Endeavor Business Media
has not only tried to survive,
but we've continually sought
out ways to grow and improve.
I'm excited to report that some
wonderful opportunities have
emerged despite the uncertainties of this year - many of which
we hope will have a positive
impact on you, the reader.
Earlier this year the Endeavor Business Media automotive
repair group, consisting of Professional Distributor, Professional
Tool & Equipment News (PTEN),

and VehicleServicePros.com,
joined forces with Motor Age
magazine and its supporting
products. Not only does this
mean we get to feature more great
content, but we get to collaborate
with some true industry pros and
grow all of our brands.
Another update I'm really
excited to share is the launch
of a new and improved website.
VehicleServicePros.com - home to
PD and PTEN magazines - will
now integrate the Motor Age, Auto
Body Repair Network (ABRN), and
Aftermarket Business World publications (all previously part of
SearchAutoParts.com), in addition to PD and PTEN.
The new site is set to launch
this month, and it will continue to
provide information, insight, and
intelligence on trends and technology so you can stay engaged
and well-informed. VehicleServicePros 2.0 will also feature a
robust product guide (of course!)
so you can stay up-to-date on the
latest tools, equipment, and parts,
and share that information with
your customers.
This is just one project on
our plate, and I look forward to
sharing more plans and ideas
with you all as we look ahead to
a new year and a new start. What
projects and plans do you have
on tap?
Stay busy, stay safe, and
enjoy a happy and prosperous
new year.
