LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 19 | Page 21

Our Gauteng Dealer Liaison, Keith Falconer, was on hand at the Lowrance SA stand, which had a good range of Carbon, Elite and Hook units on display. He caught up with several of our existing clients - giving tips, updates and reprogramming units where necessary. Newcomers to Lowrance were also given a complete rundown on how the units can be used to their full potential – maximising fish catching opportunities. Waterworld’s General Manager, Ken Brown, said they also had an excellent turnout at their North Riding premises. “Despite the rugby on Saturday we had more than 1000 visitors passing through – though Sunday was a bit quieter. This show was well-worth doing, we were so busy that it has changed our perception of Boat Shows – we’ll definitely have more going forward. Keith said, “More people were exposed to Lowrance products and given the chance to test our simulated units and ask questions. They’ll be so much better equipped when out on the water – doing what they love best!” “Our show-goers focussed largely on our mid-range recreational craft (above entry level) and there was more interest in our locally-manufactured boats than the imported options. Pre-owned outfits also proved very popular. Whatever their preference, all our buyers took advantage of the great specials we had available. While the weather was freezing, it was a good opportunity for boaters to escape the cold, while simultaneously benefitting from an eye-opening preview of what’s available ahead of summer. “Our visitors had a feast of options across our broad spectrum of products including jetskis, ATV’s, Spyders and more and our boating accessories and watertoys also did very well!” Ken said. Leisure Marine in Midrand also hosted a Show - which they are extending until September 15th 2018. They had some Crazy Specials on new and used Boats, Jetskis, Watertoys and Accessories. slideshow
