Selling is a combination of marketing and price. Marketing is placing your coach in places to maximize exposure. The key to good marketing is getting people to look and read your ad. In marketing a motor coach pictures are very, very important. Once they have read your ad and looked at the pictures they will react to price.

You give one example of placing an ad. If that is the only place you have an ad your exposure is limited. The narrative of an ad is very important and should focus strictly on your coach as you are selling it today. Pictures are very important, but only good pictures work. Use pictures that accentuate the flawless care that the coach has received and the outstanding condition it is in. Pictures of lots of people, having fun in your coach equates to lots of wear and tear in peoples mind.

Is your price too high. The answer is in your answers to a couple of questions. Are you receiving phone calls from people who are interested in buying? Are you having people come to inspect the coach? If you are not receiving any calls from people interested in your coach, then reevaluate your marketing. If you are receiving calls, but not getting any one to inspect your coach, then your price is not working.

Evaluate your competition closely. Are 1983 Newells selling for $58,500? Are newer Newells selling for less than your price? What are they selling for? What other motor homes can one buy for your price? Are they newer?

The last coach I sold I received many telephone calls immediately, buyer flew in from 2,000 miles away and sold it in five days.

Any thing will sell if marketed and priced properly. Good luck................................
