Hinweis der Redaktion
- Does anyone remember when we used to buy holidays in shops? I was one of the first people selling holidays on the internet. That’s how I got into digital marketing. I have been working in digital marketing for about 20 years now since Google incorporated in 1997. 10 years ago a friend who was working on Octopus took me to my first boat show. I introduced the concept to many companies in Monaco, but only had 2 serious meetings to discuss digital strategy. Our client Dolmen Yachts was top of Google at the time for “yachts for sale” with the most incredible homemade website. But obviously the superyacht industry was not ready. Now 10 years later at Monaco Yacht Show 2019, our digital marketing team had 60 sit down meetings to discuss digital marketing strategy. It has been great for my business, but the point I am trying to make is yachting companies are at last sitting up and thinking digital marketing. People are on social media, companies are building in-house digital marketing teams, BI is at last visible on Google, marketing departments are starting to move budget from traditional to web and to mobile...it is happening! Let’s talk about the power of digital marketing today.
- Average age of owner is 64 years old, overwhelming majority men, nationality USA, UK, 91 Italy, 76 Turkey, Russia, Middle East Maybe not so late for digital...seo etc. nobody isn’t going to buy yachts online - we aren’t Yacht owners have an average age of 64 older - they like old school business - hand shakes, golf clubs yacht clubs, membership Brokerage and Shipyards want to give them what they want Captains have a huge influence on owners - not the most digital people Owners may not necessary be in need of sales or certainly not to show it Magazines were more tactile and more prestigious People has surprisingly short-term expectations for digital Selling a boat takes a long time so you don’t see ROI necessarily immediately that discoverages The industry is built on tight relationships - you rely on your brokers - B2B not B2C High-value items - nobody believed people would buy online Communication They rely have more respect on traditional media BI, Yacht World, Superyacht Group They relied on the MLS (Yacht World, Yatco, Yacht Market, Boats.com, BI) traditional When people thought they needed to get digital they threw money at BI, Superyachts.com, Showboats, Yachting World….as it was cheaper then doing themselves, but they needed to share listings with other brokers Maintaining the databases is difficult Cost of other media - hard to free up budget
- OK need to change the Relevance logo And also add the important things that have happened in the last 3 years in yachting and digital marketing
- People looking for yachts for sale keywords on Google = 210K People who went to the Monaco Yacht Show = 30,000 People who went to FLIBS 110K 224 yachting groups on LinkedIn - Superyacht Owners = have 14K members The Superyacht Group has 14K followers on LinkedIn Superyacht Times has 317K on LinkedIn People who follow BI on Facebook = 81K People who follow Yachting Magazine on Facebook - 249K People who follow Lurssen on Facebook - 34K BI - 14,600 readers - 784,631 monthly visits Yachts for sale channel - followed by nearly 100K people with nearly 18 million views 13:01 NOW PLAYING Top 10 Most Expensive Yachts In The World - on Youtube 1.5M views #superyachts 275K posts on Instagram #yachts 1.5million posts People who like Monaco Yacht Club on Facebook - 45K People who follow BI on Facebook = 164K People who follow
- The companies that sold the most boats (units) over 24+m in the last 10 years are the ironically the leaders in digital marketing and have been at the forefront of SEO, for 10 years. The companies which are coming in late are struggling, because now they have a lot to catch up on and there is now a lot of competition not only from brokers, but websites, and concierges, and MLS’, digital platforms, blogs etc.
- Coffee Table Prestige - Interested Audience - More classically affluent audience but things are changing - they are retiring from yachting, and their kids are taking over - and they dont read mags Time and a place for magazine. Track it target it, bring it back - promote it even off - qr code augmented reality Digital is much cheaper than eg rob report Magazines are moving online Advantage of going to rob report is more trusted Bi is kocher QR codes
- So our client’s do not buy yachts on the internet...but this is what they do most of the time. But how many are these are offline.
- here is the new CRM quote: 80% of all sales are made on the 5th – 12th contact. 15 years ago it took on average 2 – 4 contacts before concluding a sale. –The National Association of Sales Executives
- I was at lunch at the Monaco show and a client told me this story. “We got a call in the Fort Lauderdale office. It was strange, some guy’s assistant asking to see a yacht we had on the website. It certainly wasn’t one of our CAs. We looked up the yacht,we had it on the website, coming in from the YATCO feed from another broker. The yacht was in Nice, France. We called our broker in Monaco. He set up the visit for the guy the next day. The client flew in, and made an offer that day. The offer was accepted. We made over a million in fees in 48 hours thanks to the integration on the website Relevance has set up.” From a Happy Broker 2019
- Yes Bar graph Charters Villa Rentals Quote from Worth Avenue… Quote from Verpeka Dolling From our data 90% of luxury holidays (charters/villa rentals/luxury hotel stays) spending over £20K/week are coming in from people searching Google finding the website and contacting the broker/agenct. Most leads come from SEO.

- Graph showing digital marketing spend over traditional print Zenith, a media agency owned by Publicis Media, predicts global social media ad spend will grow 20% this year, reaching $84 billion. According to Zenith’s data, social media advertising will account for 13% of total global ad spend and rank as the third-largest advertising channel, behind TV and paid search. 2019 will be the first year that social media ad spend outperforms print ad spend, says Zenith, with newspaper and magazine ads generating less than $69 billion this year. https://marketingland.com/social-media-ad-spend-to-surpass-print-for-first-time-268998 Zenith attributes the growth across social media ad channels to SMBs shifting and adding budgets in order to take advantage of the targeting and localization capabilities offered by platforms like Facebook. Facebook reported last Friday that it estimates more than 140 million businesses are currently using its family of apps (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp) every month, “To find new customers, hire employees or engage with their communities.” The ad targeting capabilities offered by social networks is enough to help push social into the top three ad channels, but it still falls behind paid search. According to Zenith’s report, paid search ads will take in $107 billion in 2019 and own 17% of global ad spend. This is the first year paid search ads are expected to generate more than $100 billion globally, up 8% from last year.
- It’s no misconception that the yachting industry took its time in embracing social media, whilst other luxury brands (supercars and the like) welcomed the platforms and reaped the rewards, the yachting industry remained cautious due to the conception that the target market in the superyacht industry, i.e. the owners, wouldn’t engage with a company’s social media channels. But recently, the industry has realised the benefits of running successful social media profiles, and are beginning to include social media in their overall digital marketing strategies. But how has the benefitted the industry…?
- This is a great, quick win in making your consumers feel part of your companies journey. Encourage your customers to share their images using a branded hashtag.
- One of the success stories from the past year is Arience. The yacht was sold and the owner made a strategic decision to hire Dean PiIatti as the captain. Pilatti gathered a crew of well-known yachting influencers. Jared Watney, one of the main YouTubers in yachting was hired on deck, while Dean Harrison was hired as a chef. The team create content, sharing on their channels, cross-promoting the vessel they’re working on. Arience Instagram grew at great speed, reaching over over 11k followers in less than 6 months, grabbing the attention of the entire yachting community.

- So, which is better: digital or traditional PR? The answer is not straightforward. To start with, there is a reason why traditional PR is, well, the tradition. The world might be becoming more digital, but there is still something to be said about good old-fashioned networking and relationship building. the public at large still depends on traditional media sources like radio, television and print. Digital PR enables businesses and entrepreneurs to cost-effectively reach millions of potential customers. Why waste time and money reaching out to newspapers or going to trade shows when you can instantly reach millions of people with the click of a button?
- PROS It’s great for Brand Awareness You write only one and get many press clippings back (and sometimes links to your site) It’s free (most of the time, some US publications charge to feature PRs) You can quote the publication, an authority when sharing the article on social or on your site. CONS You may not get a link back to your site (even when the publication shares your news online) You will not have a say in what the texts reads, it can turn out to be a negative article about your brand You have to follow up all the time as journalists don’t always send press clippings/url to the article/news they cover. Businesses should execute a combination of both traditional and digital PR for maximum exposure. Like so many things in life, one must balance the old with the new, and it is the challenge of every public relations expert to find where that balance lies.
- Digital PR, also known as sponsored posts. They need to be great pieces of content, but exist mainly for the links that point to your site. PROS You select the publication (doesn’t have to be yachting, but can be financial, business, travel, luxury lifestyle..) you want to be featured in and get a link back Lands on the page you’re trying to promote You write so you can include your keyword and its synonyms You can choose the anchor text CONS You often have to pay for it- Some major publications accept such submission as native content/advertorial Bloggers don’t always accept to share the articles they publish on their social media channels
