Looking back over the last year it has been an incredible time for JD Yachts. We started the season under the increasing uncertainty of the UK referendum, and the surprising outcome of Brexit had us all concerned to say the least. Fear fuelled the daily news and what surely would bring us closer to another down turn became just white noise as our season got underway.
We had a great spring and summer with very little rain on the south coast compared to previous years, giving plenty of weather windows for surveys, sea trials, deliveries by sea and a chance for our clients to head out around Dorset's amazing Jurassic Coast.
With continued growth on social media with over 18,000 likes on Facebook alone, this has helped us engage with customers on a differrent platform, enabling us to show case our clients listings on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google+. The growth we have shown on social media has reflected in the number of boats sold and new listings. We are seeing the size of Boats & Yachts that we are being asked to represent grow larger in length and the time it takes to receive an offer that's accepted has been in record time.
We would like to thank all our clients we worked with, both first time and returning, for putting their trust in us for the professional services we offer. It’s been a great pleasure to work with such amazing people on their journeys throughout the year.
Our blogs and weekly newsletters that go out each week to an increasing number of subscribers are an important tool for them to see new listings, changes to specifications, locations and price changes from within the comfort of their inbox.
Speaking of your inbox and receiving our weekly newsletter, if you don't see your next boat in the new arrivals, drop us a line or give us a call to chat about our new boat finder service.
JD Yachts have some very exciting plans for 2017, both in our customer facing services and our back-end office administration to help us deliver and even better service, watch this space.
We hope you've had a fantastic 2016 season and wish you all a happy and Prosperous New Year for 2017.
Below is a brief look at some of the truly incredible Boats and Yachts our team at JD worked so hard to sell in 2016.
