To better identify and understand challenges associated with boat shopping and ownership experiences, the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF), the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA), and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) commissioned Left Brain Marketing to complete a study on individuals who purchased a boat in 2020 or 2021. This recorded webinar dives deep into the findings of this study and shares how the industry can improve the experiences of boat owners.

 

 

 

Understanding Barriers and Opportunities of Next Generation Boaters

The research shared in this webinar will look into the mindset of the next generation audience to better understand how to connect with and attract them to boating.
