The digital world has and continues to change the way people do research, make decisions, give praise, post complaints and give referrals. People become more and more mobile every day. In order to compete… a change in mindset is necessary to meet the changes that technology bring to our homes, our lives, our families and our businesses.

Whether you are a boat dealer, marina, marine supplier, boating product or service provider key terms such as Web, Search, Social, Mobile and Video are more relevant and commonly used than news, magazine, flyer, radio or TV it all boils down to one thing… Communication. Our businesses, customers and prospects rely on communication.

  4. View a map, see availability, get contact information, listings, stats and records
  5. Refer you to their friends, families and colleagues
  6. Communicate with you via everyday social media sites managing and monitoring
  7. Allow suppliers or other products to advertise on your website

It’s all about leverage… getting more for less. Through content in the form of text, video, email, sms and more, you can leverage your time to get greater results.

Many people spend their time saying “I don’t have enough time”, yet they spend their days answering the same questions day in and day out. Just imagine only having to answer every question once… ever…. yet everyone’s questions get answered.

Don’t miss this breakout session designed to help you leverage technology to create more time!
