ParkLiner would Appreciate Advertising Advice

[Francesca Knowles]

Hey!

Just got an idea:

There's an RV show going on in Pomona, California right this very minute...http://www.thebestrvshow.com/
Why not hook up and GO- but as a "customer"?

Just pull in and park in the lot with your trailer- no advertising- and then take in the exhibits, etc. If my own experience is any indicator, you'll come back out to notes plastered all over the rig asking about it!

I was discussing the same topic with the guy (forgot his name) who owns the US rights to Trillium before he moved from Sacramento to Carson City. I told him he needed to design basic "packages" such as the ECO version or the "Sport" package much like they do in the auto industry. Then target each package to it's target audience. For instance the ECO package would have solar, a very small earth friendly manufacturing footprint (ie natural fibers vs nylons). Target it to Whole Foods/ Earth Conscious types or the Sport version could come in a variety of local team color options with special bbq's and coolers great for tailgating, etc. The options could go on and on. I guarantee you paint up a little egg to look like a team helmet and go to a tailgate party at a stadium and you'll be on the newscast that night. LOL!

Well, a new Parkliner just pulled (15min ago) into our rally in Cherokee, NC. The owners had picked it up from the factory earlier today.

They already have a crowd around, oooh and ahhing, The poor folks haven't even had a chance to get settled! There is a real wellspring of interest in these trailers, especially on the East Coast. Seeing one in the flesh is a selling point.

We waited as long as we could today. We really enjoyed seeing all the eggs and meeting everyone. I sure wanted to see that Parkliner. Do you know how long they will be there Sunday?

Camping shows. I had no idea fg trailers existed until we went to the Western Massachusetts Camping show. People were lined up to get into the one small teardrop trailer. I knew the teardrop wasn't for me but it sent me on an Internet quest for the perfect trailer. (I admit, Parkliner was high on my list but a fantastic deal on a barely used Scamp won me over.) Camping shows generate a lot of interest especially if you promote towing with a low mpg vehicle.

I don't think you'd want to promote towing with a LOW mpg vehicle. Might better emphasize towing with a HIGH mpg vehicle. Ginny, consider yourself severely chastised for writing what I think was really the opposite of what you actually meant.

Ouch! Yup...definitely "mis-wrote" that one. And I thought I was being so darn articulate!
