To reach NCAA basketball fans and Enterprise Rent-A-Car customers who share a passion for basketball Enterprise launched the “Road Trip to the Final Four” on March 15. Kicking off in Louisville, Ky., the tour opened at the first regional tournament site and will continue to follow the tournament across the U.S. on its way to the Final Four in New Orleans.
The Enterprise “Road Trip to the Final Four” brings fans March Madness to them through the Twitter handle @EnterpriseWay and the Enterprise Facebook page. Fans can follow the conversation by providing recommendations to the Road Trip team on the best places to stop and visit along the way.
