Since Kidd RV’s launch of LVM Resort’s marketing and public relations initiatives in 2011, the resort has experienced an influx of rental and ownership sales resulting from an increase in awareness of the brand and the resort’s lavish facilities. Kidd RV has worked in collaboration with LVM to develop a quarterly newsletter, execute regular social media sweepstakes for RVers as well as attract RVers to LVM’s social RV rallies.

“It is an exciting time for LVM Resort as they have seen impressive real estate sales despite the economic downturn and are now embracing RV rallies at their site, giving RVers a chance to preview the luxury resort while socializing with friends and enjoying the Las Vegas lifestyle,” says Jerry Kidd, President of Kidd RV Consulting. “LVM Resort has the finest amenities and is located in a great location, just minutes from The Strip, which offers its guests a stay that includes both relaxation and fun. Our goal is to continue developing awareness of LVM Resort in the RV marketplace while attracting RVers to their magnificent resort.”

LVM Resort’s grounds feature a 10,000 square foot premium clubhouse, owners club, 9-hole putting course, two tennis courts, spa center, fitness center and four amenity facilities with bath houses, swimming pools, whirlpools and a laundry facility. Additionally, the resort has a recently renovated on-site restaurant, The Diner, offering guests and owners a delicious national diner menu from the 50s and 60s.

Tellico Ridges recently attended the Tampa 2012 Florida RV SuperShow in order to offer a viewing of its luxury amenities, spectacular sites and prime location to potential RVer guests and owners. “Tellico Ridges has the potential to become one of the finest resorts in the country due to its spectacular views and tranquility, the convenience of its location, array of activities and cultural diversity,” says Jerry Kidd, President of Kidd RV Consulting. “We believe the SuperShow was the perfect opportunity to unveil Tellico Ridges due to the event’s industry reach and the diversity of Rvers attending from all over the country.”

The Kidd Team has been working with Tellico Ridges—literally from the ground up—by participating in updates to the physical grounds of the resort while simultaneously guiding Tellico’s marketing efforts by creating a comprehensive website, marketing plan and effectively branded creative while preparing for its awaited grand opening.

The location of Tellico Ridges’ property offers a wealth of activities such as boating and yachting with access to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, fishing and hiking on and around the beautiful 19,000 acre Lake Tellico, as well as the option of playing rounds of golf at several championship courses nearby.

The Tallahassee Film Festival (TFF), in partnership with the Holocaust Education Resource Council and the Tallahassee Film Society, will host The Remembrance Film Forum in Tallahassee, FL for the general public on four Sundays from Oct. 16 through Nov. 6. The events will take place at various venues around Tallahassee. The Remembrance Film Forum will feature diverse perspectives and insights about the Holocaust intended to continually uplift, enlighten and challenge its audience through the powerful medium of film. Additionally, the forum features Q&A sessions and a Champagne Reception.

As an executive producer level sponsor, Kidd Group is working to ensure TFF and the Remembrance Film Forum are visible through earned media, social media and on the web. For the last few years, the firm has been working with TFF to build a strong presence in the community and gain support from media and other community partners in an effort to continually increase the Tallahassee Film Festival’s attendance.

“The Kidd Group team is dedicated to increasing attendance and involvement in The Remembrance Film Forum through awareness and continual promotion before, during and after the event,” said Jessica Garcia, Public Relations Associate at Kidd Group. “We have been working nonstop to ensure TFF’s information is consistently distributed across all mediums, such as the web, social media and local and national publications.”

The Remembrance Film Forum presents twelve shorts and feature films from around the world with talents such as Dustin Hoffman and Joan Allen. These wonderful, powerful films are for local audiences, bringing little known facts to light in a new way, and presenting stories of sacrifice, survival and the human spirit overcoming adversity- a tutorial of sorts.

TFF’s website, www.TallahasseeFilmFestival.com, offers “all information- TFF,” including features, news, film trailers, education information, and a full schedule of the Remembrance Film Forum as well as the opportunity for visitors to purchase tickets. 3W Studios, Kidd Group’s interactive division, has been working with TFF for the last two years on website creation and maintenance.

Since its inaugural event in 2008, the Tallahassee Film Festival has developed into a major regional event, giving filmmakers in the community an opportunity to make advances in the film industry while at the same time encouraging long-term economic development to North Florida. This event is another step towards TFF’s goal of offering year-round, quality programming that the public cannot afford to miss.

In addition to their recent rebranding and website launch efforts, the premier and luxurious Nevada destination, LVM Resort, has unveiled a comprehensive and seamless Real Estate section on their website. The many impressive features of LVMResort.com, which offers site visitors opportunities to explore local attractions, visit a photo gallery, view The Diner’s menu and make vacation reservations, has also added a Real Estate component. This feature enhances the convenience for potential owners to shop for coachsites by enabling them to search by all listings, according to price range, or specific build-out interests. The capabilities of this section allow Class A motorcoach owners to view prices, descriptions, and photos of all available sites at LVM Resort. Additionally, the Real Estate portion incorporates testimonials from current residents, ownership benefits and Resort Owners Association Information in order to make the process of ownership at LVM Resort as convenient as possible.

Own a piece of Las Vegas each and every day. When you become an owner at LVM Resort you are joining one of the most exclusive Class A motorcoach resorts in the nation.

To target an exclusive Class A motorcoach audience, Kidd Group felt that a rebranding and simplified name would more comprehensively represent the luxury amenities and features it offers visitors. The 41-acre, gated motorcoach resort is located minutes from the Las Vegas Strip on a property that provides a relaxing motorcoach paradise in the middle of the desert.

As part of the brand launch, 3W Studios worked diligently to unveil a new website that includes an upgraded photo gallery, interactive activities calendar and information about amenities as well as area attractions. Additionally, LVM Resort has introduced a social media component that includes a Facebook page and a Twitter account — @LVMResort.

The resort grounds feature a 10,000 square foot premium clubhouse, owners club, Overlook Lounge, 9-hole putting course, The Diner on-site restaurant, two tennis courts, spa center, fitness center and four amenity facilities with bath houses, swimming pools, whirlpools and a laundry facility. Additionally, the resort offers secured storage area for automobiles, boats and other large items, and is pet friendly.

LVM Resort also offers an ownership option. Interested Class A motorcoach owners can purchase a site with ownership benefits. Although, the resort offers the option to own, it does not conflict with rental reservations.
