MRAA teams up with ARI to present Digital Marketing Master Series

MINNEAPOLIS — The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas has partnered with ARI to offer MRAA members an exclusive series of educational webinars, designed to help marine dealers sell more boats by maximizing their return on investment in digital marketing and de-mystifying today’s technology tools.

"Having the right technology tools in place is just part of the equation,” says ARI’s Director of Client Education, Bob McCann. "This series will give marine retailers the knowledge they need to get the most out of their technology and master digital marketing best practices.”

The first webinar in the series, "How to Increase Boat Show Sales,” is scheduled for Friday, January 10, at 11:30 a.m EST. MRAA members can click here to register. The session will be archived for online playback after its live recording. Marine dealers who attend all eight sessions in the series will earn an MRAA/ARI Marketing Masters Certificate.

"MRAA is committed to helping our members adapt to the changing marketplace,” says MRAA Director of Education Liz Walz. "Digital marketing is one of the fastest evolving areas of dealer operations and a critical ingredient in marine retail success. We’re thrilled to partner with ARI to provide MRAA members with expert insight into this key topic throughout 2014.”
