Episode Synopsis "SPMS Podcast 28 - Learning from the Past, Building for the Future with Megan Kendrick from Spa Retailer"
No matter how good or bad you were at marketing and promoting your pool and spa business in 2020, most of the dealers and manufacturers listening to this podcast probably had a significant increase in sales in 2020 and are forecasting a pretty good 2021. So even though in today’s podcast we’re going to talk about the pandemic, it’s going to be more in the context of why some dealers were more prepared and faster to adapt to the changing retail landscape and do so more efficiently and with less stress. In addition, we’re going to discuss what manufacturers did to help their dealers adapt and succeed and what they should be doing now to build their brand and increase market share. Then we’ll talk about what dealers and manufactures should be doing now to prepare when the hot tub buying “feeding frenzy” eventually settles down.
