SuiteSuccess Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have been contacted by a commercial air and ground medical transport company that would like to give a short coffee and donut presentation at the ECR. Since I consider this as "our" rally not "mine" I solicit input from those attending. The link is provided so you can make a judgement. In fairness to this company I do not want them to make a trip from Texas if there is no interest or would be no attendance at the presentation. Thanks for your consideration. http://www.skymed.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 We had Skymed do several presentations for our Escapees Chapter Quartzsite rallies and they were well attended, informative and even sold a couple memberships. Tell the presenters where to buy the donuts so you get good ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRChurch Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 To my mind, SkyMed's presentation would better be served at the National HDT RV Rally, rather than at the ECR. While we have had a few RVers with commercial interests make presentations at the ECR, those presentations were more aligned with HDTs, HDT maintenance, HDT beds/bed-building, HDT upgrades and improvements, etc. Furthermore--again, this is personal to me--the ECR is primarily a social event that just happens to have some presentations which share individuals' solutions to issues common to other RVers (especially, HDT RVers), whereas, the National Rally is directly educational, directly commercial, and has scheduled social events (but, limited impromptu social times). If I have no other things that I want to get done on my HDT (or RV) at the ECR, I would probably attend the presentation; but, their presentation would be much further down my list of things to do at the ECR. On the other hand, if their presentation were to attendees at the National Rally, I would very much, most likely attend it. Again, those are just my personal opinions.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 They might be trying to kill two birds with one stone. Our rally will be from 11th to the 18th in Crossville and the SKP ACRE rally is in Sevierville on the 15th to the 21st. less than a 50 mile drive between them to get both rally's.....

sdixon747 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I believe SkyMed was at one of the National HDT Rallies at one time a few years before Gail and I took it over. We may have them back some time in the future. As far as having them at the ECR, my feelings are a lot like Raymond's, keep the ECR more social with some educational stuff thrown in. I know that some of our "members" (and I use the term loosely) do some selling, like Henry and David, but I still see it as a social event. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorts Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Skymed and other such services are something to be aware of and can be very useful in time of need, I think that a presentation at the national rally or Q would probably serve their interests better, with more exposure to a larger group, let the ECR remain mostly social event. Since the topic of getting home has been brought up is their any formal plan or organization that would help to transport your rig home in case of major event that required the use of a service like Skymed to transport a companion home?

Jack Mayer Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm with Steve. But of course, my vote does not count since it is unlikely we will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
