    Whether you follow ECHO Means Business on Facebook or Instagram or our User Advisory Group (UAG) 2022 members on their social media accounts, you probably saw hundreds of photos and videos about last month's visit to ECHO’s headquarters in Lake Zurich.

    For any industry pro in this business, the chance to visit the factory of one of the most important companies in our industry is both unique and humbling. We didn't want you to miss out on all the fun so we want to take you along for the ride and share the five best moments of the UAG’s visit to ECHO’s HQ.

    1. Face to face meeting: UAG and ECHO

    Before touring the facilities, the UAG received a welcome from ECHO’s leadership team and had the opportunity to talk and make questions and comments to the product managers. This was an excellent opportunity for our pros to better understand ECHO’s products and a good occasion for ECHO’s product managers to hear what pro users had to say about their tools and machines.

     

    2. ECHO’s Factory Tour

    The tour of ECHO’s facilities was, without a doubt, outstanding. Witnessing the chain of processes carried out to manufacture the powerful machines that our UAG and millions of professionals use every day was incredible. From the massive operation to the warmth of the factory’s employees, every step of the tour was a unique experience.

     

    3. Product Demo of ECHO’s products

    One of the most memorable parts of the visit was to put hands on ECHO’s products. All UAGs got to test ECHO’s string trimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, spreaders, mowers, chainsaws, and ECHO’s eFORCE 56V Battery Powered tools.

    All product managers were also present at the product demos, so they were available for questions and comments about the tools they design and produce.
     

    4. Content Creation for ECHO Means Business Community

    The visit to ECHO was an excellent opportunity for the UAG to create content for the ECHO Means Business (EMB) community, as well as for their own channels. Be sure to visit EMB’s website regularly, and also download EMB’s app (on Google Play or Apple Store) to see product reviews, how-tos videos, business tips, and even collaborations between UAG members that will help grow your business.

     

    5. Networking

    Without a doubt, networking was a major part of the UAG visit to Lake Zurich. ECHO Means Business being a community itself thrives when our members get together, and these couple of days were not an exception. While some UAG members had already met before on previous visits to ECHO or at the GIE+Expo, for others it was the first time seeing each other. Either way, they had the chance to meet, talk about their business, share tips and advice, collaborate, and also have time to bond and even have a cold one.
