The RV Dealers Marketplace has proven to be a valuable resource for association members and other industry professionals who use the Internet to locate products and services for the entire RV dealer industry. This information resource uses powerful search technology that continually indexes the content of participating supplier Web sites. Users have the option of performing keyword-driven searches that mirror traditional search engines, or a category-specific search. Both methods produce the most relevant results on the Web.

The RV Dealers Marketplace also incorporates a desktop search mechanism, allowing visitors to download a free application that makes the directory accessible from the user’s computer desktop. In addition, the directory has implemented Request For Information (RFI) functionality, allowing visitors to contact suppliers with the click of a button. Both features are becoming increasingly popular among users of the RV Dealers Marketplace and are a valuable business opportunity for suppliers to advertise in the directory.

Members of the (RVDA) are using the RV Dealers Marketplace on a daily basis. But the directory isn’t limited to association members. Other RV dealers, general managers, sales managers, finance & insurance managers, parts managers, and service managers are using the directory as well. These industry professionals spend $15 billion a year on products and services your company offers.

And when these professionals are ready to buy, they turn to the RV Dealers Marketplace to cut through the clutter of traditional search engine results.

The RV Dealers Marketplace has been created specifically for serious buyers of your product or service. Purchasing a listing in the directory ensures that your company’s brand and message are delivered directly to those that matter most to your business. The RVDA is recognized as a leader in the industry. And RV dealers, general managers, sales managers, finance & insurance managers, parts managers, and service managers turn to the association as the informational source in the industry.

With traditional search results, your company’s listing becomes one in a million. But searching through the RV Dealers Marketplace presents relevant search results to pre-qualified, committed buyers. Completing a listing in the directory will cost your company less advertising dollars than participating in the pay-per-click campaigns of the major search engines and delivers better results.

Your complete listing in the RV Dealers Marketplace will feature your company logo and description, contact information and company Web site and e-mail link. The listing will be grouped into categories of your choice to enable efficient searching.
