Airstream has launched a new program designed to give customers a larger role in the future of the brand. The Airstream Customer Council (ACC) formally connects Airstream customers to the company’s leadership team. Included in the group are members from all across the country.
The 12-member advisory group has full-timers, part-timers, and weekend Airstreamers. In total, there are 10 members with travel trailers and two members with touring coaches. The group includes veterans, business executives, engineers, a former educator, and a former chef. The members range from 39 to 70 years old.
The 12-member group meets periodically and provides regular guidance in three crucial areas: product quality, dealership experience, and service experience.
“Airstream is blessed to have a customer base that not only is passionate and engaged in the Airstream lifestyle but also willing to provide ready feedback to the company to drive both product improvements and improvements in the overall customer experience,” said Bob Wheeler, Airstream president and CEO. “The Airstream Customer Counsel is a modern and efficient way to allow our owners to have a voice in driving improvement at Airstream.”
Members were selected after an application and interview process from a pool of 850 candidates.
“Improving the Airstream experience is our focus for the ACC,” said Justin Humphreys, Airstream COO. “With this group of Airstream owners, we’re able to drill into key moments of their Airstream journey and build actionable recommendations based on their feedback. We’re already exploring ways to incorporate the ACC’s recommendations into the work we do every day.”
In the winter, ACC members will explore challenges and opportunities related to product quality. For the final meeting in Q2 2020, members will be invited to Jackson Center for a full-day workshop and immersion at the new manufacturing facility, culminating with a capstone project.
