Airtime Watersports Gains National Recognition for Robalo Sales

Virginia Beach, VA, August 20, 2006- Marine Web Services is pleased to announce that Airtime Watersports of Virginia Beach, VA, was designated fourth in the nation for Robalo sales for the third consecutive year. The national rankings were announced at the annual Robalo dealer meeting in July at the Sanibel Harbour Spa and Resort in Fort Myers, Florida. Airtime Watersports was also the highest ranked dealership in the state.

John McGee, Sales Manager of Airtime Watersports, attributes much of this year’s success to their online dealership and web solutions provider, Marine Web Services.

“A lot of people who call or come into our store say that they’ve seen us online, so we understand the awesome power of the Internet,” McGee said. “When used correctly, it is such a powerful tool. Marine Web Services provided us with the technology that led to many of the leads that turned into sales this year and really helped us maximize our exposure.”

“By taking advantage of search engine optimization and our lead management system, Airtime Watersports was able to drive more traffic to their website and get results that turned into sales,” said Danielle Kerner, General Manager of Marine Web Services. “With at least 80 percent of the public researching online about non-commodity products that they are interested in buying, the Internet is an invaluable tool for businesses that want to truly succeed in an increasingly technical marketplace.”

Airtime Watersports proudly serves the Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia and Chesapeake Bay areas. It is locally owned and operated by Art Jeffries of Virginia Beach. Robalo, a name synonymous with premium quality among fishermen, has more than 40 dealerships throughout the U.S.
