Their Challenge

Modern Trailer Sales experienced several internal changes within their company as well as external changes within their industry. The third generation was transitioning to take full ownership of the company while the RV market was beginning to shift to a younger demographic, and they needed to gain a macro view of their brand and industry to transition into their new roles effectively.

Our Strategy

The Element212 research team conducted qualitative research with key team members throughout the various departments, including executives, sales, parts, service, and administration.

The Result

Our research uncovered new opportunities for connection between Modern Trailer Sales service offerings and the customers’ desires. We utilized these insights to reposition the Modern Trailer Sales brand with an updated logo, tagline, and messaging to better resonate with their audience at their exact point of need.

The research identified several internal gaps and bottlenecks between departments, resulting in frustration among employees and customers. We developed recommendations for updating internal processes to correct these issues.

We launched branded digital advertising campaigns across various platforms to grow brand awareness and showcase the Modern Trailer Sales differentiators and strengths.

By re-aligning their brand promise with their marketing strategy, Modern Trailer Sales has experienced record growth over the past 10 years.
