About Us

Dear Fellow Boaters,

When listing with Bond Boats we take care of all the administration and marketing costs associated with the sale. We do all the marketing activity for you and will promote your boat across all major marine listing services and social media sites. We will talk to buyers directly about your boat and set up appointments. The only thing you’ll have to do is make the boat available for showings.

Our marketing program includes a free market analysis showing comparable active listings with recent sold listings, a personal meeting with a Bond Boats team member, current photos/videos, and a professional write-up highlighting your boat's features. All write-ups are strategically filled with top keywords to keep your vessel at the top of all search engines. We will also provide you with weekly reports and active ad click counts. Your vessel will be featured on numerous top lead-producing sites including Yachtworld.com, Boattrader.com Boats.com, Iboats.com, Boatquest.com, our website www.bondboats.com, Bond Boats social media sites and nearly every other marine listing service on the Web. We will also share your listing with our extensive network of buyers and sellers to help kick-start the buzz regarding your vessel.

Let Bond Boats deal with the obstacles that arise when listing and selling a boat so you can get back to your dail lives. With offices located conveniently in Port Canaveral and Central Florida, a Bond Boats team member is available anytime to view your boat and evaluate its current condition. We are Florida natives and we take pride in making sure that we view all of our boats ad meet every one of our clients.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us anytime. We look forward to hearing from you.

Creative way to promote your service.  Ask a good question, then segway into ad about what you do... and conclude with a solid 'ask'.     You presume clients use a service/product on a monthly basis (why?), why not daily, weekly or annually or as needed?  Generally the cost of client... (more) Creative way to promote your service.  Ask a good question, then segway into ad about what you do... and conclude with a solid 'ask'.     You presume clients use a service/product on a monthly basis (why?), why not daily, weekly or annually or as needed?  Generally the cost of client acquisition for most businesses is fairly high and certainly much higher than the cost of a repeat customer. So this is an excellent question: how do you retain customers?  And maybe as important, do you know how successful you are?   Let me ask this:  what % of your customer base uses you again? (If you don't know you should!)   Of those who do not use you again, why not?

(more) 'where' depends on what type of care your elderly parent needs and as most people age, their needs will change.  Full progression of disease with my (now deceased) mother in law. Services included basic personal monitoring system, then occasional in-home non-medical visits, then home nursing (post op), later ALF then skilled facility with hospice.  AND lots of my time and families efforts and energies.    Ms. Wallace's response is on point.  Understand what their current situation is, and what you can do, and then you are in a better position to determine what types and 'where' to turn for care.

Do you know your customer acquisition cost?  Do you know - in your industry- what % of revenues on average go to marketing?   This is such a broad question not sure it has much value.
