BoatUS Program Seeks Marine Business Partners

Recreational marine businesses that cater to boaters can add to their revenues by joining the Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) Partner Network Program that drives boaters to more than 900 marinas and 300 other boating related small businesses. The program is seeking applications for business partners at BoatUS.com/Partner.

The businesses offer discounts to the half-million members of BoatUS. The most common marina discounts are on fuel, repairs and transient slips. Tackle shops, repair facilities, sail lofts and other businesses that cater to boaters have the flexibility to select discounts that best fit their customers’ needs.

In exchange, BoatUS offers up to $250 a year simply for including a BoatUS logo in local advertising and offers additional marketing support online, in boating publication advertising and in point-of-sale promotional materials.

BoatUS’ local boating business partners gain an individual listing on the BoatUS Member Service Locator, a custom webpage for their business, promotion in BoatUS Magazine and other boating and fishing publications, and a listing on the BoatUS App to help BoatUS members choose member businesses over others. Complimentary marketing supplies provided by BoatUS include promotional materials, signs, decals and flags.
