Ft Myers, Florida SCUBA Marketing Case Study

I had a great opportunity fall into my lap a couple of days ago. A local, avid diver contacted me to let me know that he would be travelling to Ft. Myers, Florida this weekend for work, but would be free either Friday afternoon or Monday evening. He was interested in going into a dive center and discussing marketing. We will then put together a basic marketing plan, provide regular support and guidance and see what we can do in about 5 or 6 months.

So, if you are a dive center owner or employee in the Ft. Myers, Florida area, can be available Friday afternoon AND Monday evening (since we’re not sure exactly which will work out yet) and are interested in having your marketing efforts analyzed and some one-on-one guidance given, please fill out the form below.

The results of the interview will be posted on the site as well as the action plan. The action plan will be easy, even for the non-tech-savvy and I will provide support along the way. At the end of our little experiment, we will publish results. You must agree to these terms to be considered. The cut-off to sign up is Thursday evening. If no one signs up, our “reporter” will pick at random.

So, if you’re interested, sign up here:

SCUBA Standards Changes: Get Over It

New SCUBA divers are bad SCUBA divers, so we don’t want ’em. A typical catch-22, but one I hear on popular SCUBA forums and being discussed on the DEMA floor, especially in regards to PADI’s alleged “loose standards”. “I Teach Above Standards” I hear this all the time. I’ve even heard it, then observed below-standards…

Vintage SCUBA Advertisements

I have to thank my good friend Eric Thornton for sharing this fun site with me. I was still sleeping and wouldn’t see Godin’s post for several more hours 🙂 Cross Promotion Something I’ve been wishing for (and asked Tom Ingram about) is more cross promotion outside our industry. Looking back at these vintage SCUBA…

Your Next Student Will Become a SCUBA Instructor

As SCUBA instructors, our job functions often include teacher, marriage counselor (for the couples in the class) and therapist (for people taking the class because they once almost drowned). An often overlooked skill set is that of a career counselor. In order to build our programs or dive centers, we need staff, therefore we need to teach as if every student wants to become a SCUBA instructor.

Weekly Links #1

I’m trying something new here. Each week, I’ll share a few links to sites/articles I found interesting. Not necessarily enough to write about in a way that relates to our industry, but still worth sharing.

Suunto Beta: Radical Redesign or Minor Facelift?

Suunto is heavily promoting their new beta site they expect to launch in early 2010. The tactic of launching a “beta” site available to anyone is typically done for two purposes: Build hype by allowing visitors to see the hot new thing that’s “coming soon” Builds the ability to say “sorry, it’s still in beta”…
