Maintain Contact Throughout the Year

While almost every business these days has a website, far fewer send out regular communications to their customer base and yet they should. It’s quite inexpensive to have an occasional newsletter going out to your clients. The challenge for most smaller businesses is what to say that isn’t just the usual, "Thanks for being a customer" or "Come back and buy from us again".

So, we have a solution. For many months now, we have featured valuable boating information from the CanBoat organization, (formerly called Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons) that you are welcome to use in your own communications. The source is highly credible, the messages are useful boating tips, often about boating rules, regulations, or safety, and you can use them in your own contact program – they are free to use as long as you credit CanBoat.

This Act is a strict legal framework for controlling the production, distribution, sale, possession and use of cannabis in Canada. READ MORE
