Export Sales Support

As a European/international business, Gablemarine is well placed to help US vendors market boats internationally.  We do this is several ways:

As many US companies have learnt, Europe and the US have cultural differences which make some US selling techniques less effective to Europeans.  Understand what makes a European Buyer tick and you will find it easier to sell.  Importantly, we can provide the comfort to EU buyers that helps them take that crucial step from looking to buying.

We can also help with channels as there are simple ways in which a US seller can advertise in Europe.

Perhaps most importantly we provide an export service that both gives confidence to the buyer and takes away the hassle for the seller.  Once the purchase closes we do the rest both in terms of the logistics, tax/duty and the all important compliance with the Recreational Craft Directive (CE Marking).

For international buyers outside of Europe we provide the same service, except that the CE marking is excluded.

Private Sellers

You're either marketing through something like Ebay.com or via one of the boat specific portals such as BoatTrader.com.  We can help you understand how to excite an international buyer and give them the confidence to spend money evaluating your craft.  This spend, however small demonstrates commitment and can easily lead to a sale. 

Trade Sellers

Much of the above applies but in addition we appreciate the referrals you provide and want to reward you by sharing the proceeds of success through our Affiliate scheme. 

If you have further questions or want specific help with marketing a unique or novel craft internationally then please call or email, details of which can be found on our contact page.
