RV Ready Gets a Refresh

By Elizabeth Humphries • June 18, 2022

Last fall, we tested a new format for our hugely popular RV Ready programs. The programs take place just before the Summer and Winter RV seasons to encourage Dealers to stock up on the most popular product for the upcoming season. The new format improves upon the old in several ways. First, we replaced SKU level promotional pricing in lue of a rebate format. Instead of determining if the part on sale is the part they need, dealers can focus on buying long on the entire product catalog from participating suppliers. Making it more enticing to increase or make additional orders to move to the next rebate level. The second change in the program gives more visibility and greater impressions of the program. We host the program subsite completely on viantp.com and are able to then use email and web ads to highlight products and suppliers throughout the promotional period. This repeated digital presence along with the attention of our entire RV sales team gives participating suppliers a leg up in placing their products into wholesale dealer's businesses for the upcoming season.
