Publishers note
An early eNews this week, on the eve of the Easter long weekend.
Our industry remains vibrant and active, with news continuing to flow in about preparations, launches, and first-time viewings of new products for Sanctuary Cove.
I know all too well what goes into preparing for a boat show—not only by the organisers but also by those I refer to as the 'true heroes' of the shows: the exhibitors.
The next five weeks will be challenging for many, but my advice is to be patient and persistent. Once you're at the show, the planning you've done to ensure you have the right product with the right offering will deliver the results you're aiming for. Make sure your display looks the part—your presentation is a reflection of your business.
Best wishes for the Easter long weekend, and a special shout-out to all the Marine Rescue volunteers who will be on and around the waterways, keeping an eye out for us.
I do hope you enjoy this week’s news.
