CUSTOMER RETENTION RESOURCES
Guide to a World-Class Customer Experience
As a leading dealership, you strive for marketing returns and customer satisfaction. But you are seeing rising inventory levels and more hesitant consumers due to higher pricing, inflation and economic uncertainty.
Therefore, it’s time to enhance the customer experience to attract new buyers and engage your existing customers to keep them boating longer.
“Operation: Keep Your Customers Boating,” provides proven tactics and resources to help you retain more customers by creating processes and touchpoints to increase their satisfaction and loyalty to your brand.

CUSTOMER RETENTION RESOURCES
Keep Your Customers Boating

Your customers leave the market because they become disinterested and don’t use their boats enough to justify the cost. History shows that first-time boat buyers depart the marketplace within five years after purchase and at about a 40 percent clip.
Engaging your customers should be a top priority! This starts with authentic follow-up and includes holding community events and educational resources on operation and ownership. These touchpoints are critical for increasing boater retention.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
