Event Marketing
It's
easy to sit back and count your money when times are good, but complacency
is an evil villan when the market contracts. Event marketing is
one of the most effective forms of advertising and marketing for
any marina. Not only does it bring immediate cash flow, but it turns
many $non-enthusiasts into pleasure seeking boaters.
While
immediate cash flow serves the need at hand, increasing the$ boating
population in your market is something that is even more important
in the long run - but much less thought about by most operators.
The
Grow Boating Initiative is well served by Event Marketing. We often
smile at the television campaign that depicts non-boaters not wanting
to smile, wave or make eye contact, while boaters are just the opposite,
always smiling and waving at each other.
We smile at this because you really have to be a boater to understand
it. Event marketing is the easiest way to bring in crowds from all
walks of life and to introduce them to the boating lifestyle. Once
you've got them on your property - there's thousands of ways to
captivate them and make it one of the best times they can remember.
It
doesn't matter "what" you do as much as it matters "how"
you do it. Whether it's a crab feast, oyster shucking contest, speed
boat races, fishing tournament, poker run or any other event - making
sure it's flawlessly managed and maximizes spectator participation
are the number one priorities.
Next
in line for importance, is getting your attendees on your mailing
list and taking the time to thank them for attending, and priming
them for your next event.

Branding
Put
your best foot forward with innovative and attractive collateral
materials from some of the country's award winning top designers
and agencies. Nothing is more important than a customer's first
impression of your facility and services. Many times that first
impression comes from a postcard, brochure, magazine ad or web site.
Our
relationships with several design and advertising firms across the
country have taken many years to nuture and build. As with every
marina, every great designer has their own unique style and flair
- matching the right designer with the right client is paramount
to memorable and effective design.

In
addition to the solid relationships with agencies and designers
- we have some of the best "production" relationships
in the world. When you're ready to roll out a major print media
campaign, there's no doubt at all that AMM's international printng
vendors will be able to produce your requirements at a fraction
of the cost of the vendors most businesses have available to them
in the USA.
