Triangle RV Centre
www.trianglerv.com
In the Recreational Vehicle business Triangle is one of the early adopters of Internet marketing. Internet users don’t follow the stereotypes one may think. Many RV owners are seniors and it came as a surprise to the people at Triangle that many of the most computer literate web surfers are also seniors. What a cost effective way to reach a target market. Another benefit is that RV owners planning a trip to the area are doing research in advance on the internet and want to find out the RV center in the area for repairs, propane fill ups, or perhaps even a new RV.

More examples of automotive sites:

All of the car manufacturers have the multi-million dollar sites but don't provide much of a local presence for the dealer. Sage was asked by its clients to provide that local flavour. You will see by the sites below that each site has its own flavour even though it was created by the same company. Of paramount importance was how well the site linked back to the manufacturers site to provide vehicle information and then back to the dealer so that the sales process can begin.
