ROCKFORD, Mich. (May 7, 2015) – Following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural event, the Chaco Fit for Adventure Tour kicks off its second run at theDominion Riverrock festival in Richmond, Virginia, May 15-17. During this year’s tour, each stop will showcase a custom Chaco truck and trailer transformed into an immersive brand experience with product trials, a custom app, giveaways and more.
“The Fit for Adventure Tour is an opportunity to not only celebrate and deepen our relationship with the Chaco nation — our most passionate fans — but also connect with thousands of potential new customers,” says Alyssa Omlie, Chaco marketing specialist and tour manager. “This summer we’re excited to unveil a cutting-edge digital app, which is a fun and engaging way for consumers to interact with the Chaco brand.”
Chaco’s new mobile app presents a unique, augmented-reality footwear experience, empowering consumers to see 60 different Chaco styles on their feet, in real time.
Chaco’s tour activation will also include a selfie station, a Plinko-style contest to win Chaco gear, product giveaways, professional fittings for the new Chaco OutCross Evo 1 and the chance to win a $5,000 trip, outfitted by G Adventures Tours.
“In planning this summer’s tour route, we sought out the country’s up-and-coming festivals — events where adventurous spirits are living the Chaco lifestyle,” adds Omlie. “We’ve chosen a route that brings us to places, on both coasts, where the 2014 Tour didn’t go.”
