Last chance to register: Seattle Marine Retail University scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 25

The Norman-Spencer Marine Retail University, an educational series that will stop at nine locations across North America in the 2013-2014 season, is making its next stop in Seattle, TOMORROW, September 25, 2013.

This highly rated program, hosted by the Northwest Marine Trade Association, will feature numerous ideas, trends, data points and opportunities for you and your business to take advantage of, and we encourage you to get registered and join us. Having an entire season of MRUs under our belt, we can attest that attendees’ response to these events has been incredible!

We are so confident, in fact, that you will walk away with legitimate opportunities to implement in your business that we will guarantee it. That’s right, if you don’t capture ideas and advice that you can implement in your business during this event, we will refund your registration money.

So here are the questions you should ask: Can I afford NOT to take a single day out of my business to learn what products are selling (and not selling) in my market? Can I afford to miss out on new strategies for selling more of my products and services? Should I stay on the forefront of my industry by learning innovative marketing ideas? What is it worth to my business to know the latest trends and opportunities? What are the consequences if my competitors are there and I’m not? Learn more about MRU here.

Join us tomorrow and take full advantage of this opportunity. Registration is just $149, but members of the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas save $50 and additional discounts are available for NMTA members (contact Lisa Schofield at lisa@nmta.net or 206-634-0911 for the NMTA promo code). A continental breakfast, lunch, snacks, a cocktail reception and, of course, the education are all included.
