MINNEAPOLIS — The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and Lighthouse Media Solutions have partnered to offer MRAA members a free one-hour marketing budget consulting session, which has a $500 value.

“In today’s marketplace, dealers are always searching for ways to get more out of their marketing budget,” says Matt Gruhn, MRAA President. “The consulting sessions being offered by Lighthouse Media Solutions give our members free access to their team of experts with no obligation. The value of this new offering alone will deliver a remarkable return on investment in MRAA membership for those who take advantage of it.”

Lighthouse Media Solutions is an MRAA Platinum Partner, the highest level of support for the association, and has been named its preferred marketing agency. The company offers a wide range of products and services to marine businesses, including video production, e-mail marketing, website development, social media management and print publications.

“With the speed at which new technologies and platforms are being introduced and adopted by consumers, it’s difficult for dealers to stay on top of the most effective marketing strategies at any given time,” says Mike Alleva, Vice President of Marketing & Client Strategy. “Our team of marketing professionals are on the cutting edge of these developments, tracking the real-world results being generated by our clients in the field.
