With Memorial Day Comes Gratitude

By Myril Shaw - Dealer Profit Services

Memorial Day is special.  This year perhaps it is more special than ever.

Of course, it is the unofficial start of summer – meaning boating and RVing are now in full swing.  That makes Memorial Day special for those of us in the industry.

Much more importantly, Memorial Day marks the time for all of us to give thanks to all of those who have given so much.  We are thankful for the sacrifices of so many servicemen and servicewomen.  We are thankful for all of the first responders over all time and especially in these days of COVID 19.

We truly appreciate all of the boaters and RVers who practice social distancing and other safe practices.  It is all of these people who make our industry both safe and successful and who set the example for everyone else by practicing respect for themselves and everyone around them.

Memorial Day is a day – and the beginning of another year – of gratitude for those who willingly and selflessly put others first and make the country and the world a better place by virtue of their giving.

To all of them, we say THANK YOU!

We have an absolute obligation to make boating and RVing as accessible as possible.  These are the best recreational outlets for everyone in these days where travel is hard and unpleasant, where crowds are problematic and where people have a social and moral obligation to practice social distancing.  We have the answer to all of that with pure fun and complete respect.

We can make getting started or upgrading the experience easy, safe, and fun!

We can make shopping easy with creative online showrooms with complete tours and walk-arounds.  When that is coupled with the fantastic "Get Pre-qualified" technology that is out there, we not only make financing more accessible, we help ourselves give these customers the best shopping and buying experience by being able to guide them to the inventory most suited to their situation.

Finance and sales of protective products (so important to ensuring enjoyable lifestyle experiences) can be done 100% no-touch and virtually.  Once again, because this can be fast and easy, we are delivering a shopping a buying experience that will delight the customers.

Document finalization and delivery can be accomplished while ensuring safe social distancing and still making the experience fun and easy for the customer.

Given all the tools, technology, and expertise that are available today, it is likely that the changes we make today will be forever and they will forever change and improve the shopping and buying experience for the customer.

We are here to help!

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTRY AND TO ALL THOSE PUTTING THEMSELVES IN HARM'S WAY TODAY TO KEEP US ALL SAFE AND WELL.

Thank you to all of you who are helping people find peace and enjoyment in an environment where those can be scarce commodities.

THANK YOU ALL!
