They Just Don't Know It 

Until now! With soo many family's getting in on the Pontoon trend that is growing beyond industry expectations. In 2018 many manufacturers, dealers and Pontoon Rental businesses saw a huge increase in consumer demand. What drives this narrative ? Well we believe it's really simple, so simple that it can actually be summed up in one word- Exposure!  
With technology being at the forefront of almost everything we do, the ability to share information is greater than ever. In today's world we can simply slide open the hand held device (formerly known as a cell phone) to a world of information, all coming at light speed. However, to understand how this impacts the Pontoon Boat segment, you need to look no further than your closest form of social media.

The Largest Online Database Of Pontoon Boat Dealers In The US  

How do you see your 
business online?

This is one of our favorite questions we ask potential clients prior to offering our web services. Well, the answers are fairly consistent, as they either understand the importance of a healthy web presence - or they don't. Many business owners believe having a nice looking website is the most important factor. Followed by a good social media presence, to network with consumers interested in everything Pontoon Boat related. We concur that both are good strategies, both will meet a satisfactory marketing agenda. However, do they provide results, that meet, or exceed your ROI ? Are they really getting found on the web? Are they being searched in a manner that drives them to your showroom?  Many marine dealerships spend thousands of dollars per year on ad space trying to capture a front row seat to internet search ability. In most cases it is a large portion of their annual marketing budgets that support this segment. One of the most popular are paid click type ad's where you are charged based on the number of times your site is clicked upon. The effectiveness of this is questionable at best - unless you are doing high volume sales. We have a very successful web based strategy, that allows for a more sustainable presence - that produces results!

Are You Found On Page One? 

In today's tech friendly world, consumers have already searched for your business online, they are fully aware of your services before ever stepping foot in your dealership. Google has the highest amount of traffic of all search engines combined. Thus increasing the importance of where you are found, in a typical google search for your business.

From the moment you step aboard, you realize this is not what you expected. It's like stepping into your living room / entertainment center on the water. The amenities are endless!
​
​We are seeing a much greater interest in the Pontoon Boat category. As most of the larger Boat Shows have many different manufactures on display.  This gives the consumer an up close experience of the features and options that are available. Meeting their local Pontoon Boat Dealer, is very important while at the Boat Show. These  are the guy's that will keep you on the water - They will also help reduce the PBWS in many cases. â€‹
​

The Pontoon Boat Lifestyle is very addicting, manufacturers and dealers are starting to realize that it's easier to sell the consumer the benefits of Pontoon Boat ownership. Going to the Boat Show will only reinforce the opportunities of finding the right boat that meets your needs. As the increased demand surrounding the Pontoon Boat Lifestyle continues to grow, so does the increased production. Many manufacturers are predicting record growth for 2019
