Dealer Day faqs: What You Need to Know
Dealer Day is a BIG DEAL here at CRE! Here are some frequently asked questions about our event:
What is Dealer Day?
Simply put, it’s a celebration! We celebrate our community—and our place in it—as a third-generation, independent, family-owned power equipment dealer. CRE has been a part of the Canby area community since 1979, and we love that! So we celebrate it each year with a day of thanking our customers through free lunch, games, free SWAG, raffles, fun, and THE BEST PRICES OF THE YEAR ON EVERYTHING. It’s more than just a blowout sale, it’s a party! We think it’s a blast, and we think you will, too.
Why is it called Dealer Day?
We are very, very grateful to be your local dealer for so many brands: Stihl, Scag, Toro, Honda, Exmark, Husqvarna, Ventrac, Barreto, BCS, Multiquip, Kress, Orec, Kawasaki, Amsoil… the list goes on. We carefully build and tend to this product mix to be able to offer a wide array of the highest quality tools in the industry for both gasoline and battery power. If you have work to do, and you want it to be easier, we are your dealer, and we’re proud of it!
Does it happen every year?
Yes, since 2013, although we took a COVID-19 break for a couple years. But now, we’re all systems GO. Let’s DO this thing!
Will you feed me lunch?
Yes! Lunch is on us! We’ll grill you up a hot dog with the usual fixings.
Who will help me if I want to ask questions, or buy?
Dealer Day is an all-hands-on-deck day for us, so in the ENTIRE awesome CRE staff you’ve come to know & love will be here to help you. Want to chat with me (Matt, third-generation owner of CRE)? I will be here. ALSO, we invite manufacturer reps from our catalog of brands. Want the official word from the factory rep for your a tool you own, or one you’re thinking about buying? Ask them! (A note here: While we invite them all, not all of them can make it work with their schedule.)
You said I could get free stuff… how?
We have lots of Stuff We All Get (SWAG!) to give away, but beyond that, we hold a raffle each year. Tickets can be acquired through various activities here on site, and of course, if you make a purchase. We have multiple items to give away each Dealer Day. We have given away iPads, TVs, college football game tickets, and of course, power equipment! All it takes is a raffle ticket. Then, we gather around the phone as a staff and call you the evening after the event to cheer your success. We love giving stuff away!
What else is there to do?
The events change from year to year, and we like to be creative and mix it up. We’ve had live music, performances, chainsaw carving, mini skid-steer Jenga, a bounce house, aerial boom lift rides, an equipment demo area where you can try tools… come see us, have some fun, and save some money! And I’ll feed you lunch!
