Birth of a VanBot

Don The Idea Guy February 16, 2018

getyourvan.comSuper Action League member Lee Hills created this nifty “VanBot” to help people choose the best style camper van suited to their intended use (weekend warrior couples vs. off-the-grid camping family, etc.). Lee’s VanBot has humor, personality, and delivers real value for people researching camper vans.

Any auto dealership that sells vans could have built this tool (or had it built for them).

But they didn’t.
Auto dealerships are too busy running expensive and obnoxious television ads, burning marketing budgets by buying full-page ads in nearly-extinct print publications, and throwing money at PPC search and banner ads in hopes of out bidding their competitor for a shot at mouse-click with a tiny percentage of sales conversion.  
This fun and clever and helpful (and lead-generating!) chatbot tool was created for less than a fraction of the cost of producing one television spot or buying a single full-page ad in their local newspaper.

Lee just launched his VanBot 1.0 earlier today, and he’s already getting positive feedback from users who find it helpful. If I were a car dealership with vans to sell, I’d be contacting Lee NOW to bid on leads coming through his VanBot from people who are raising their hand and saying they are interested in taking a test drive. Same for insurance companies who cover vans, same for auto shops that do van conversions, same for the companies that sell the products which get installed into a camper van conversion (why say it has room for a “refrigerator” when you could say it fits a Kenmore mini-fridge? Or why say “camping stove” when you can say Coleman propane camping stove?).

There are sponsorship and product placement opportunities abound within the VanBot — and the companies to see the potential first are the ones who will walk away (drive away?) winners. You can contact Lee at http://www.leelaunches.com.

The Ugly Back

Everyone goes to the museum to admire the pretty fronts of artistic tapestries, but the ugly backs face the wall and are rarely on display. My wife decided she wanted to host a big family Thanksgiving this year. While we were in the process of cleaning up the house and putting our (my) clutter. Hapy […]

Want hot ideas? Let the tap run.

I’ve written in the past about how I come up with some many good ideas (spoiler alert: it’s because I also come up with so many bad ideas). I’ve also shared how important it is to throw away the first dozen or so ideas you come up with because they’re not going to be especially […]
