(Newswire.net — December 12, 2013) Poway, CA — According to David Carleton, president of Spa Pool Marketing Success “the Internet combined with the economic downturn has fundamentally changed the way consumers shop for pools and spas. A recent SpaRetailer magazine survey revealed that 92% of spa buyers research the brand online before visiting a store. This means that dealers that sell pools, spas and saunas need to have a dominant online presence in order to set themselves apart from the competition. But these days, just having a website is no longer good enough. Dealers really need to have an aggressive Internet marketing plan in place,” said Jason Carleton, the company’s marketing manager.
“Additional survey information by SpaRetailer said that the US Spa industry sells approximately 200,000 units annually. This is down from an industry high of about 450,000 units just a few years ago,” said Carleton. These statistics along with other facts and figures are being presented in a newly released video that many industry insiders have called shocking yet powerful. The video paints a bleak future for hot tub, pool and sauna dealers who don’t quickly adapt to the changing industry environment.
“The Death of Pool and Spa Retailing video was created to point out critical industry trends and shock dealers into taking action that will help ensure the future success of their business. Our advice to pool and spa dealers is to take a look at their current Internet marketing strategy. If it isn’t generating the quality and quantity of leads they need, then they should stop doing it and try something new,” said Jason.
