The RVDA of Alberta is the primary organization representing recreational vehicle dealers in Alberta. Comprised of independent businesses, the association is committed to fostering the growth and excellence of the RV industry and lifestyle in the region.
The RVDA of Alberta's goals was to focus on promoting membership benefits and driving attendance to RV shows in Edmonton and Calgary. We developed targeted approaches for reaching these diverse audiences to elevate the RVDA's brand and increase membership and event sales.
Enhance the RVDA's brand recognition, as well as to boost membership and event ticket sales. This involved defining the unique attributes of RVDA events and promoting them effectively to target audiences through various marketing channels, while also strengthening the organization's online presence.
We conducted a thorough discovery session and website audit, as well as an examination of RVDA's social media, brand materials, newsletters, and media coverage. This provided valuable insights for expanding awareness and sales.Integrating this research into the marketing plan shaped an authentic brand representation for meaningful impact on members and customers.
We rebranded the Calgary and Edmonton RV shows from the "Calgary RV Expo" and the "Edmonton RV Expo" to the "Calgary RV Adventure Sale & Show” and “Edmonton RV Adventure Sale & Show”. The logos for both shows have also been refreshed and redesigned. This was aimed at connecting with the adventurous spirit of the audience and aligning with evolving consumer expectations and market trends. This rebranding enhanced the overall look and feel and strengthened brand recall. The show logos utilize the visual of a map marker and ideas such as “Where will your RV adventure take you?” and “How many places can you check off your bucket list?” The mountainscape in the background represents Alberta, and the words “Sale & Show” are called out for emphasis.
