MADE IN USA
The boat show buzz is electric. Boaters are walking booth to booth, imagining summer weekends, comparing finishes, and dreaming of upgrades. The first feature crowds want to see? Flooring. Boat shows bring buyers not just browsers, and as Q1 kicks off, the dealers need to have their inventory ready. Early boat show conversations often determine which flooring brands customers return asking for later in the season.
The Problem for Dealers
Marine dealers often walk into January with new leads, excited shoppers, and flooring conversations, but not always the right products on the shelf. What happens next? Customers head to competitors or online retailers, and the sale slips away.
Every inquiry without inventory is a buyer headed elsewhere. And flooring is a gateway product. When customers upgrade decks or pontoons, they often need adhesives, trim, tools, and other accessories. A flooring sale could fuel multiple purchases over the season. However, if the flooring isn’t there or easy to order, the revenue walks out the door. Stocking smart is more than convenience, it’s a strategy.
The Solution: Be Ready
Customers at boat shows want to touch materials, compare colors, and visualize the difference that new flooring will make. The dealers who win early season business are those who show flooring and provide a simple ready-to-purchase path.
