OPE Business Powering the Success of Independent Servicing Dealers
RC Mowers will continue its “Great American Road Show” this summer, providing in-person demonstrations of its robotic mowers to commercial landscapers and public works, parks and road departments across the country.
“We built most of our dealer network during the pandemic when in-person communications was at a minimum,” says Tim Kubista, vice president of sales and marketing for RC Mowers. “So, in order to show our dealers what the mowers could do, we decided to take them on the road. We also began inviting potential buyers, and the events grew into a real success story. We have exceeded our sales expectations and have generated more interest in our product line than we ever imagined.”
So far in 2022, the company’s Great American Road Show has held more than 42 events, with 95 more scheduled in June, July, August and September. Kubista says that list will grow as more dates are added.
“Road shows like this used to be popular in days gone by but have been replaced by internet demonstrations in recent decades,” Kubista says. “We wanted to show our dedication to our dealers and potential customers by showing them what our products can do in the real-world conditions they face in their own communities. We believe in our mowers’ abilities to minimize safety liabilities, reduce labor costs and increase profitability and productivity and the road show allows us to demonstrate these benefits in action.”
