I already sent this in an e-mail to Kyle and Earl to solicit ideas, but I want to toss it around over here too, and see if we can come to a consensus.
I have decided that since we do so many day trips or overnights here and there with my kids—competitions, concerts, recitals, Junior Olympics, etc. that I am going to start looking for places that are/would be accessible to Phoenix Cruisers but might not be to other RV’s that offer similar amenities. My target audience here are downsizers. I’d like to have a hashtag we can use when I find these places and I can encourage the Phoenix Cruiser owners’ community to get involved.
For example, this past Thursday morning I was in Sharon, PA—a bustling and adorable small downtown and ate at this super funky retro diner that does a really good business. We could totally have parked a Phoenix Cruiser right there on the street in front of the diner if we wanted to (and if we had one with us, because I got out and measured. I'm crazy like that). Places like this that don’t have lot parking and are too small for parking garages are fun and funky places that those with larger RV’s can’t really explore like you could in a PC. Behind the restaurant were these really neat statues that you couldn’t even see if you hadn’t stopped and gotten out. It reminds me of a photo one of our users sent us years ago of them parked right downtown Chicago, I think, in front of a museum. Later in the day we were in downtown Youngstown, Ohio and we discovered a really wonderful coffee shop—Joe Maxx. It was another super eclectic gem with a ton of variety and personality you can’t get at a Dunkin’ Donuts or a Starbucks. There we paid a quarter to park for an hour in a spot plenty big enough for a 2100 and possibly a 2350 (and could have paid for two spots because we had plenty of empty spaces, honestly). I want to highlight what we might be missing when we travel in a larger unit—the personality and feel of the communities we visit. Being able to just spot something and stop and get to really tour American cities. So I’m thinking like #pcgoesanywhere or #pctoursAmerica...something that won’t get cluttered quickly with photos outside of our owners' and followers' group, but that gives the feel of what I’m going for. #adventureanywhere gets a lot of traffic, so I need something a little more unique. Now, I got a lot of cool pics from these places that I can post, but none of them have PC’s in them, obviously. You guys can work on that more when you’re driving units to shows and I can get the owners to help us out there once we have decided on a hashtag. You guys can also get some photos of fun or cool places where you find yourself if it looks like someplace you could easily (ish) go in your PC, but that those driving bigger rigs could not really do. We can't be the only family who takes our merry time getting anywhere because we love to see something as we're passing, and stop and get a little taste of life in someplace new. I want them to crave the ability to see something as they’re driving and just stop right there and participate—so more out of the way or congested places are probably better.
So what I need are hashtag ideas. Obviously we can use all of the ones we come up with. That's not a problem. But I'd like to have one that all of us can agree to use for these kinds of places/opportunities.
