Digital Era Media Inc., (DEM: www.ThinkDEM.com) Digital Media producers of Canada’s #1 Boat Listing website BoatDealers.ca introduces 360 Virtual Boat Tours to assist boat buyers in their purchasing decisions. 

Assisting boat buyers with the most effective research and shopping tools. 

“We recognized the need for boat buyers to see the layout of boats online in an interactive way.” said Chris Perera, Digital Era Media’s President & CEO. “The real estate industry has been doing 360 virtual tours for sometime, but it seems to have been overlooked in the boating industry. Our team has developed tools for dealers, and manufactures to create virtual tours with minimal effort.” 

Presently there are over 100 virtual boat tours featured on BoatDealers.ca. These tours can be viewed directly on BoatDealers.ca or integrated directly into a manufacturer or dealer site by simply clicking the embed button on the bottom right of each tour. 

“Offering forward-thinking marketing tools demonstrates our commitment to helping marine businesses reach their unique online goals. We know there are some very talented marketers throughout the industry, so we made the 360 virtual tours available in both self and full serve options which gives our customers more freedom of choice.” Said Cameron Coleman, Digital Era Media’s National Account Executive. 

“We think the BoatDealers.ca 360 virtual tours are a great venue for our prospect consumers to really look at our boat layouts online. This is a great selling feature for our boats, and this is for sure the way the market is going in the coming years.” Jean-Philippe Martin-Dubois, Marketing and Customer Experience Director, Princecraft Boats. 

“BoatDealers.ca has been our trusted Canadian media partner for years. 360 Virtual Tours allow prospective buyers to get a sense that they are standing in the boat viewing the layout first hand, without trying to gauge where different features are located simply based on pictures. We are excited to utilize BoatDealers.ca’s new 360 Virtual Tour platform to assist our buyers and dealers.” Steve Huber, Marketing, Smokercraft Inc. 

“We’ve decided to continue using Boatdealers.ca as the site delivers quality leads specifically on recent model trade-ins and the addition of 360 virtual tours in listings provides an interactive and potentially impactful experience for viewers. Revenue earned from just one large dollar brokerage sale pays for a season of exposure on this site and we’ve been able to consistently track positive results.” Scott MacCrimmon – President, Hucks Marine & Resort 

BoatDealers.ca receives over 1.6 million unique visitors a year. Launched in 2001, the website has been focused on providing the top visited and most effective online platform for buyers and sellers of new and used boats across Canada. 

BoatDealers.ca runs on the unified MyDealers.ca platform that also powers OutboardDealers.ca, MotorcycleDealers.ca, QuadDealers.ca, and SledDealers.ca providing a streamlined marketing solution for Marine & Powersports dealers.
