To continue our new video series called “Business Chat With”, we’re pleased to introduce our next guest – Roger Firth, CEO  at AELeisure.co.uk. 

Social distancing drove interest in the humble motor home

Airlines, cruise lines and hotels are still suffering from a sharp reduction in demand from travelers. At the same time, people are, perhaps now more than ever, seeking to escape the mundane confines of their homes as much of the country remains closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. And so they are renting — and buying — caravans, campers, and motorhomes in order to safely explore new territory while maintaining their social distance and staying secure.

Thus, companies from this industry are starting to benefit from one effect of the coronavirus.

In view of the above, it’s a great experience to have a chat with a person, has been running the Caravan and Motorhome service and repairs business successfully for 10 years. 

What this business chat is about?

• Roger’s story on how they originally started almost 10 years ago and how moved his business to a bigger space;
• COVID impact: how March lockdown make them put more efforts into eCommerce and why the UK business shifted massively to online;
• Business secrets on marketing strategies  and the most lucrative channels for driving sales and revenue to date not for the competitors to know;
  
• Expanding business plans and why he doesn’t even think about franchising his business as well as selling internationally;
• And now for the icing on the cake, Roger shares the lessons he learned from that mistakes were hard but valuable. As well as, gives some business advice to inspire eCommerce entrepreneurs.
