When the We Supply America RV pulls into your facility, you communicate to all your hardworking employees just how valued they are. You can’t put a price on employee engagement and these events are a unique opportunity for them to come together in celebration. And when you capture the day’s events the value becomes exponential by leveraging these new assets in your marketing, recruiting, and onboarding.
I don’t think anyone has been able to articulate what we do as distributors as well as you are doing on this tour you are on. I felt that we needed to be a part of it – to be a part of the story you’re telling. Helping our team understand the important role they fill in contributing to building America, that was great today.

The day was more than I could ever have imagined, and really appreciate you bringing the tour to Kamo. I thought it would be a lot of fun, but it was even better than I thought. To other distributors I’d say, ‘Get on the schedule before the tour fills up. It’s a great opportunity and you’ll have marketing assets to use for years to come.
Harris Weinstein • President, Kamo Facility Supply Company
We love the process of working with you to tell your story – to celebrate and shine a light on your business and most importantly the people of your business. Here are a few things that we’ll ask of you and your team.
Get your human resources and marketing teams involved early to plan how you will message the event and leverage the stories we will uncover for your marketing, recruiting, onboarding and other ways.
The only limits, are the limits of our imagination. What makes us extremely happy is when your creative juices catch fire and your team taps into their desire to make a difference in all they do. When we create this experience for and with you, your team is provided the opportunity to capture the day’s events for internal and external communications.
Here are some examples from last year’s tour in support of marketing, social media, recruiting, onboarding, employee communications, and other uses.
What I loved the most was watching the staff interact with you. Outside of training for a specific role, this was our first time focusing on the big picture of what we do and taking the day to celebrate the importance of the work each of us do. It was awesome! I could see the excitement on everyone’s face, the enjoyment of interacting with you, and feeling special and appreciated.
