I wanted to take the time to announce our plans for 2018. We're Very excited and there's a LOT to tell.
Firstly, we have decided to sign a contract with Ship Shape TV for 2018. We've done a lot of research and concluded that we believe this will significantly impact our volume and exposure tremendously. We're going to be busy!
SeaDek has been associated with #ShipShape TV for decades. They still advertise nationally. We felt that there may be a segment of boaters here in the Pacific Northwest that may be familiar with Seadek from the commercials, seeing it on OEM boats or just seeing it on their neighbors' boat at the Marina...but for whatever reason, are apprehensive about pulling the trigger.
We are going to focus on getting information out there about how the process works to calm any fears that folks might have about having to template their own boat...or install the #SeaDek themselves. We want to spread the word that we now have trained professionals everywhere in the PacificNorthwest and British Columbia to do that for you.
Ship Shape TV is on #Rootsports here in the northwest. Check it out and watch for us in 2018.
Next, we (Contemporary Marine Flooring) decided to donate a boat to our non-profit organization- Golf Teaches Integrity. The boat is an 18' Century Open Bow that is in rough shape. We are going to find local vendors that will assist us in making the boat like new. It will then be raffled off at the 2019 Spokane National Boat Show. All proceeds will go to #golfteachesintegrity. For more information about the non-profit or the raffle, visit golfteachesintegrity.com.
Also....SeaDek recently announced a new Captains' Fish Series- an array of onshore and offshore fish that they used special tooling and cutting techniques to really make some artistic pieces. The problem was that they forgot about us west coasters!. So, we hired a local artist and designed our own series. We came up with designs for a Coho salmon, a Chinook salmon and a Dungeness crab. We then perfected the geometries and tool paths until we were extremely happy with the outcomes. I'll show you a quick preview, but will take some high quality photos once formally announced.
We sent the additions to SeaDek and asked them if they would consider adding them to their official series and they have agreed. So we should get some good exposure and we're proud of that whole project. Nice work #contemporarymarineflooring team! And thanks for all of your efforts. And special thanks to Geoff Chinn, the local artist who assisted in the design / drawings.
We are selling these pieces of #genuineseadek artwork both on our website: contemporary marine.com and we'll sell them at our booths at the Seattle, Spokane and Montana Boat shows. They will be available for $25.00 each or two for $40.00 if you are interested in owning a certified genuineseadek piece of art or maybe just want to contribute to a worthy non-profit!
Finally, I want to notify everyone that reads our blogs that SeaDek has announced a price increase effective end of March, 2019. So, if you are considering getting your boat #seadeked, now is the time to order.
Cheers to everyone. Have a Great Holiday season. And please check out Ship Shape TV!
Scott and Jeanne
