MINNEAPOLIS – For the first time in 2012, attendees of the Marine Dealer Conference & Expo will have access to the MRAA Rewards Pavilion, a special area of the exhibit hall devoted to the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and its benefit providers.
“During the past year, MRAA has tripled the number of benefits we offer our members,” says Liz Walz, MRAA Director of Membership. “Surveys suggest our members are not as aware of our benefits and what they offer as they should be. By bringing our benefit providers together in one area of the expo floor, we’re making it easy for MDCE attendees to explore the incredible value offered by MRAA membership.”
The 2012 MDCE, produced in partnership between MRAA and Boating Industry, will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 11-14.
The companies participating in the MRAA Rewards Pavilion include: ADP Lightspeed; Customer Service Intelligence, Inc.; Lighthouse Media Solutions; MarineLab Warranty Processing; Norman-Spencer Marine Insurance Services; Priority One Financial Services; Spader Business Management; Statistical Surveys, Inc.; TSYS Merchant Solutions; Discover Boating; and the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas.
Together, the savings, revenue and performance-enhancement to be gained through MRAA membership are guaranteed to deliver a return on investment.
“With the average annual savings of members who participate in the MRAA Shipping & Freight Program totaling $304, we have every confidence that those who take advantage of all that MRAA membership has to offer will find it delivers an impressive ROI,” Walz concluded.
