How RV OEMs Can Increase Market Share by “Guiding” RV Consumer Purchase Decisions

Manufacturers are innovators. Innovation is what you do. And, consumers? They work hard to decide which RV brand they should purchase.

But, the age-old way manufacturers communicate their innovations to retail buyers – i.e. through their dealer networks – is changing…

“Subtle Shift” In RV OEM Marketing

Current RV OEM Marketing Model

Strong B2B marketing to dealers plus some Digital Ads – mostly targeting high-funnel RV consumers.
Dealer marketing of – your Brand specifically – is often minimal and does not effectively “educate” buyers aboutyour Brands.
Low-funnel RV consumer buyers (who are under-informed about your Brands – while they actively shop online) are susceptible to competing Brands, both at competing dealerships and also on your dealers’ lots.
You innovate. You build a better Brand. But, under the current RV OEM Marketing Model, actively shopping online RV shoppers remain largely under-educated about your Brands. Results? “Brand Defection” at the dealer level with lower-than-optimal retail turns and dealer re-orders.

New RV OEM Market Paradigm

The “shift” happens. RV OEM increases Digital Ads to “low-funnel” RV consumer buyers.
Consistent, well-branded, key selling messages are delivered – by OEMs – directly to RV consumers who are “in-the-act” of buying.
OEM Ads are now helping “guide” consumer buying decisions.
DEALER sells MORE of YOUR BRAND. Faster retail turns, stronger dealer reorders plus, your Brand gains market share!

How to WIN the brand Wars

RV manufacturers will build (and sell!) close to 1/2 a million RVs annually. Many factories are running at full capacity – completely sold out – with long lead times for dealers.

Others factories and newer production lines? Not so much. What that means is … it all comes down to MARKET SHARE. And, competition is fierce!

Brand vs. Brand wars are fought every day – online – and on dealer’s lots across the country.

And the winning OEM?

The winning OEM will be the one who communicates most effectively – and directly – with the buyer, in this case, the low-funnel RV consumer buyer.

Factory Incentives Ads

Stimulate Dealer Re-Orders By Helping Dealers Move Last Year’s Inventory FASTER!

When your dealers are still stocked up with last year’s Models, they can hesitate to order as much new inventory as you'd like.

So, to help stimulate retail sales, you sometimes offer Factory Incentives (a.k.a. Manufacturer’s Rebates) on last year’s Models.

But, what’s the best way to “tell” in-market RV consumers about your Factory Incentives?

Use…

Re-Targeting Ads that hit every buyer shopping for a new RV – any Class
Drive buyers to your factory incentives landing page.
Generate leads i.e. get opt-ins – distribute leads to your dealers.

Results…

Stimulates inquiries
Bumps your dealers' closing ratios
Boosts dealer re-orders

“When dealers tend to sell your competition more than they sell YOUR product, try this: Advertise directly to consumer buyers. “Educate” low-funnel buyers about your brands.”

RV Show Booth – Buyer Traffic Booster

Drive In-Market Consumer Buyers to YOUR Booth!

You pay dearly to help your dealers exhibit at RV Shows. Co-op costs for the booth, travel, expenses, etc. Shows are a huge investment!

So, think about the consumer buyers in that Region a month (or two) before the Show.

RVT.com can specifically identify actively-shopping RV consumer buyers — located anywhere near your upcoming Shows.

Let RVT help you “invite” local, in-market buyers to make sure they visit YOUR booth!

Here’s how…

Provide RVT with your Show dates and locations
Then, let’s hit known buyers near each of your upcoming shows
With several re-targeting ads – per buyer!
For 30 to 45 days on the run up to theshow.

Why rely only on Show Management to attract buyers to the Show and then “hope” they make it to your booth?

Why not communicate directly with EVERY in-market RV shopper – in that Region?

RVT.com Show Booth BoosterProduct ID: DA-BTB Contact Us

What would happen to your booth traffic and your Show sales if you put this message in front of 1000 in-market buyers – 10 or 20 times per buyer – on the run up to each Show?

“Feature” Your RV Brands

Ensure Your Brands Are Seen By Low-Funnel RV Shoppers…

Think for a moment like an RV consumer Buyer, a Buyer who’s looking to buy! How would you “shop” for a new RV? Well first, you’d Google it:

And then quickly – just like 720,000 other unique RV shoppers/month – you will likely land on RVT.com where you will run multiple Searches of dealer inventory.

Now, back to thinking like an RV OEM, you know …

Your dealers must advertise (and sell!) all of their Brands, NOT necessarily YOUR Brand.
But, you want YOUR Brand sold by your dealers over any OTHER Brands.

So, as a Manufacturer, why not “Feature” YOUR Brands – in the most prominent place on RVT.com? … at the top of … where Buyers Search!

“Feature” Your RV BrandsProduct ID: SF-O Contact Us

“OEMs: Don’t let dealers ‘buy up’ the Top row of Featured Listings on RVT.com’s Search Results pages. Why? Because dealers will feature ALL their Brands. Not good! You want YOUR Brands at the Top of the Buyer Searches! Call me. Let’s discuss.”

Chris Mapson, Digital RV Advertising Consultant, RVT.com

Buyers visit RVT.com and run millions of Searches. Why not “feature” YOUR Brand at the top of Search Results using RVT.com’s NEW “Feature” Your Brands product? This gives your models “above-the-fold” exposure, resulting in 4 X more Consumer Buyer views to your Brands!
