Martin Onken
of Expedition Motorhomes in Calabasas, CA is an annual speaker at the
RVDA/RVRA convention. He has owned and operated his RV Rental business
for 13 years.
Martin?s main focus will be in Two New areas,
1. RV Rental Marketing: You will learn specific ways
to reach your existing guests, lost renters and prospects in an economical,
effective and professional manner. You will receive specific names and
contact information to companies that can be an affordable resource.
Martin will conduct a “Marketing Plan Workshop” to help
put it all together into an efficient and time saving plan. Optional
extended school hours - the workshop will start during class and continue
“before and after hours.” Just think, your 2010 marketing
plan could be put together before you head home.
2. Managed Rental Vehicles: Formerly called „leasebacks?.
By the end of class you will see how managed vehicles can be a golden
opportunity for acquiring a fleet. You will be given all the information
to professionally compare the best methods of obtaining and managing
your rental fleet: dealer owned, managed, or a blend of the two. You
will also learn how to “manage” the owners of the vehicles,
keep the paperwork straight and the proper and ethical use of a managed
fleet.
