Our Step-by-Step Process for Flawless Promotional Vehicle Campaigns

At Craftsmen Industries, we make mobile marketing simple and stress-free by guiding your project every step of the way. From the first conversation to the final report, our process is designed to keep your campaign on schedule, on brand, and delivering measurable results.

Step 1. Brief and Goals

We start by understanding your objectives, audience, timeline, and budget. Our team gathers key information in a short intake form so we can define clear KPIs and success metrics before a single design element is created.

Step 2. Concept Design and Mockups

Next, our creative team brings your vision to life. We produce wrap mockups, interior layouts, messaging drafts, and even preliminary landing pages. This lets you visualize the final activation and provide feedback early in the process.

Step 3. Engineering and Production

Once approved, our engineers and fabricators take over. Every wrap, interior build, and tech integration is handled in-house at our facility. Each stage includes quality checks and timeline milestones to keep the project on track without surprises.

Step 4. Test Run and Staff Training

Before hitting the road, we run a full dry rehearsal. Devices are tested, run sheets are finalized, and brand ambassadors are trained. This ensures your activation operates smoothly and every interaction with your audience reflects your brand perfectly.

Step 5. Live Deployment and Field Operations

When it’s showtime, we handle logistics, route management, and on-the-ground support. Drivers are briefed, stops are coordinated, and daily updates are provided, so you always know how the campaign is performing in real-time.

Step 6. Post Campaign Wrap Up

After the campaign, we deliver raw media, lead lists, performance reports, and next-step recommendations. When paired with digital, digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising has been shown to drive strong consumer action, making your mobile activation even more effective.
