May 2023

Welcome to the May digital edition of OPE Business.

This month, we take a close look at the state of hiring and retaining employees. We spoke to several OPE dealers and looked at employment details from across the industry and the U.S. business market. We thank the dealers who took time to discuss their business with us and to speak freely about the employment conditions they face.

Our Dealer Profile story takes readers to Montana to meet a group of multi-generation family business owners who have experienced change and grown to succeed over decades of hard work.

In Marketing, we look at Social Media Trends through the expertise of a leading social media consultant. And we take you inside the leading parts-supply companies to learn about the state of inventory today.

We also cover hot products and industry news, and the latest wisdom in the Landscape Business marketplace.

Plus, we share our call for nominations for the OPE Business Awards program. We are looking to meet the young and the experienced leaders of OPE today. Help us find them.
