A Shropshire based caravan dealership has reported an increase in sales to first time caravan and motorhome buyers. Salop Leisure, based on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, explained the influx of first time customers ranges from retirees to families with young children who are all keen to spend more time exploring the UK during their holidays.
The firm intends to enhance the service it offers to customers by opening a five pitch camping and caravan site alongside the sales centre.
The campground will provide customers with the opportunity to try out the caravan or motorhome with an overnight stay and address any questions they may have with the sales staff in the morning, before heading off on their first solo adventures.
Salop Leisure’s marketing manager Scott Higgins commented: “When customers buy a touring caravan or motorhome from us, they can stay for a night and check that everything is working to their satisfaction before heading off on the road.
“It’s all part of the service that we offer to make first time buying experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.”
The firm also runs a service centre which is open seven-days a week for servicing and repairs and a secure storage facility for touring caravans and motorhomes.
