BRP produces world-class off-road vehicles for thrill-seekers. Its biggest obstacle to growth is the limited opportunities to use its vehicles and the accessibility of terrain across North America. To attract existing competition riders to BRP on their next purchase, the brand needed to explore new playgrounds.
In the last few years, increasing urban sprawl has limited access to playgrounds for off-road vehicle users and led to stricter regulations around driving zones. In some cases, this has limited the creation of new off-road circuits.
Driven by the idea of discovering new types of experiences, off-road drivers have seen their level of excitement diminish. The possibility of being surprised by a new route was now the exception.
This tight-knit community quickly turned to social media and group discussions to share new riding opportunities. This is when the quest for available lands began!
As we were observing the community cooperating, helping each other find the perfect spot, we saw an untapped opportunity.
What if off-road riders were no longer confined to their own piece of land and were given the freedom to discover someone else’s mud paradise for a day?
On the other hand, what if landowners could rent their land and give riders the opportunity to have access to a multitude of new outdoor experiences?
For landowners, it's a way of monetizing the use of their under-used and sometimes under-appreciated land. For drivers, it opens the door to a world of new discoveries.
A real win-win situation.
And so Uncharted Playgrounds was born. Uncharted Playgrounds is an online booking system that connects off-road vehicle riders with landowners. Think Airbnb... but for off-roaders! How does it work? Simple: the platform offers new land for drivers to explore, and new income opportunities for landowners. A win-win situation. Our strategy was deployed in three steps:
Before launching the project, we had to populate our platform with existing and exciting properties. We contacted owners through a highly targeted SEM strategy and social campaigns in many parts of the USA.
Since our goal was to offer as many opportunities as possible, it was important for us to have a variety of locations, course types and prices.
Once the platform was online with multiple locations and lands to be discovered, we encouraged riders to book their next adventure and explore new territories through targeted digital publications.
As bookings took place in many regions, we adjusted our campaign based on real-time results, as they quickly became an invaluable source of information for BRP.
We began to leverage booking and online visitor data as well as engagement metrics to adjust our promotional offers to purchase a new BRP vehicle regionally.
