Talk about your van build marketing
The van builder marketing problem
Van builds get a lot of likes. Plenty of people dream about van life, but only a small share are ready to spend six figures on a custom build. The challenge isn't getting attention. It's finding the serious buyers, keeping them warm while they decide, and getting them on a call with you.
What I run for van builders
- Build content that sells. Walkthroughs, before and after conversions, layout tours and owner stories, cut for Reels and Feed.
- Retargeting by interest level. People who watched most of a walkthrough get deeper content: build process, pricing ranges, timelines and FAQs.
- Qualified inquiry forms. Budget, timeline, chassis, must-have features and whether they already own a van.
- Nurture. Email and SMS that guide buyers through the decision over weeks or months.
- Available inventory pushes. Ads for finished or in-progress builds that are ready to sell.
- Events and showroom visits. Open houses, van shows and test drive days.
Who this works for
- Custom Sprinter, Transit and ProMaster builders
- Overland and off-road van builders
- Camper van rental and sales companies
- Upfitters and conversion shops
- Van parts and accessory brands
Why a car and outdoor guy
I've spent my career marketing to car people, overlanders and outdoor enthusiasts. Van buyers are the same tribe. They care about the build details, the adventure and the people behind the shop. That shapes how the ads look and who they reach.
