The Background
In the competitive automotive marketplace, demonstrating a vehicle’s capabilities in a memorable and engaging way can be a highly effective method of generating sales. INEOS, a leader in the creation of high-performance 4x4s, sought a venue to stage an immersive test drive event for prospective buyers that would not only show the reliability and advanced features of their Grenadier vehicles in an off-road setting, but also impart a sense of sophistication that was aligned to the car brand.
The event venue had to provide a space that could push the vehicles to their limits in a variety of off-road environments, from muddy tracks to steep inclines, while also providing a hospitable environment for prospective owners to inspect the vehicles at their leisure with the sales team.
The Event
Carden Park Hotel, located in a 1,000 acre Cheshire county estate, provided the ideal setting for the INEOS test drive. With its sprawling estate, extensive facilities and existing 4×4 off-road course – every aspect of the brief to showcase the Grenadier’s capabilities could be fulfilled.
Over a period of three days, the INEOS sales team hosted 150 visitors taking part in test drives on the 4×4 course. With muddy tracks, dips and steep gradients, the course showcased the vehicles handling, safety features and technology in a stunning countryside setting.
The large car parks on site displayed the vehicles, and the hotel provided a gazebo with refreshments to visitors browsing the 4x4s. Meeting rooms and bars within the hotel also facilitated sales discussions and gave ample opportunities for clients to be entertained.
The Results
The INEOS Test Drive event at Carden Park Hotel successfully achieved its objectives of showcasing the capabilities of the INEOS Grenadier to clients in a dynamic, immersive way. By selecting a top-tier venue and offering a variety of experiences that catered to potential customers, the event succeeded in elevating INEOS’ brand visibility. Carden Park Hotel’s hospitality and stunning location played an essential role in creating a memorable experience.
