Lazydays, The RV Authority and world’s largest RV dealership, announced that Steve Holt has joined the company as director of retail accessories, overseeing the dealership’s vast retail operations on site and online. Holt brings to Lazydays a deep understanding of the RV accessories market, retail and online operations as well as merchandising. An entrepreneur and with more than 30 years of experience in marketing and business management, he will work alongside Lazydays’ sales department to help drive retail sales for the Tampa dealership.
“Steve’s background is fitting for the position,” said Linda Stephens, VP of Finance & Operations. “He has a shared vision of where we want our accessories strategy to go as well as the business-to-consumer experience necessary to help us continue to meet the demands of our broad customer base. He is truly a great addition to our team.”
Holt comes to Lazydays as the company is experiencing broad sales growth amid a series of outreach initiatives, including Lazydays’ acquisition of RV America, a transaction that includes three RV dealerships in the Denver, Colorado area; the expansion of its product selection to include a wide range of trailers produced by Featherlite, the leader in towable trailers for both the auto and equestrian markets; and several new partnerships to host RV tailgating lots with the University of Florida Gators and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I am very excited to begin this new journey with Lazydays,” Holt said. “They provide such a unique customer experience to each RVer that walks through their doors, and I look forward to contributing to and expanding initiatives that make Lazydays the RV Authority.”
Prior to joining Lazydays, Holt served at Coast Distribution as vice president of brand and corporate marketing, directing all marketing initiatives for Coast’s proprietary brands, including Arcon Lighting, Husky Towing and Powerhouse Generators. Prior to his years at Coast, he enjoyed a very strong career in marketing and merchandising including the co-founding of a multi-department specialty retailer, Allyson's Kitchen, dedicated to serving home chefs and gourmet enthusiasts.
