The Best Innovation award, introduced this year, was picked up by Yamaha for the group’s Test Drive lead generation program. Yamaha realized a need to better connect consumers and dealers so the company began using a softer sell in order to link consumers to their nearby dealers. Test Drive helped engage them in a more comfortable way and the outcome garnered more than 2,000 leads to dealers in the past year.
The third award went to Yamaha for Best Regional and Local Marketing. Yamaha was specifically noted for its website and search engine optimization work, which encompassed dealers located in underperforming markets. By utilizing a range of best practices and marketing support, the Yamaha group was able to double sales and grow its market share as much as ten percent in several regions.
Yamaha also received an Honorable Mention for Best Newsletter.
According to Yamaha Watercraft’s Digital Marketing and Communications Manager Andrew Cullen, “We strive to push the envelope across all our marketing efforts and our team is honored to have been recognized by the industry for the impact these efforts are having on our dealers and customers.”
