Boat, RV and Powersports Dealer Gifts with Your Logo

Delta Point Marine sells about 160 new and used boats a year from a lot on the Delta, and each delivery ends with a walkthrough at the launch ramp, a signature and a set of keys. If a black metal keychain with the dealership logo is already on that ring, the dealer's name rides along to the lake all summer and comes back with the boat for its first service. The service writers give a cork cup holder coaster to every customer picking up a boat from winter storage, and the sales team fills the booth at the winter boat show with slim can coolers. An RV lot running walkthroughs or a powersports shop unloading a new side by side from the trailer can do the same thing with the same few items.

What boat, RV and powersports dealers hand out

• Black metal keychains: one goes on the key ring at the delivery walkthrough and stays there, so the dealership's name makes every trip to the ramp. $3.69 each at 100 to 299.
• Leatherette can coolers: leave one in a cup holder on every boat you deliver, because that is where a drink sits all afternoon on the water. $3.69 each at 100 to 299.
• Cork car cup holder coasters: these drop into the cup holder of a tow vehicle or a motorhome cab, and the service desk can hand one out with every pickup. $1.89 each at 100 to 299.
• Leatherette and metal keychain bottle openers: the giveaway for an owner rally cookout, where somebody always forgot to pack an opener. $4.79 each at 100 to 299.
• Slim can coolers: booth stock for a boat show or an RV show, made for slim cans instead of standard ones. $3.59 each at 300 and up.
• Set of 4 slate coasters in a bamboo holder: a closing gift for the buyer of a new cruiser or a diesel pusher, the kind of sale that calls for more than a keychain. $24.79 per set at 1 to 9.

What a sales season and a boat show cost

Start with deliveries: 160 black metal keychains at $3.69 each is $590.40, and ordering the whole year at once keeps every keychain at the 100 to 299 price. A powersports shop delivering 40 machines a quarter that orders each quarter separately pays $4.69 each at 25 to 49, which is $187.60 a quarter and $750.40 over the year, so one order of 160 would save it $160.00. Delta Point's service desk expects about 95 storage pickups each spring, just under a break: 95 cork cup holder coasters at $2.29 each is $217.55, while 100 at $1.89 is $189.00, so five extra coasters take $28.55 off the order. For the boat show, 400 slim can coolers at $3.59 each come to $1,436.00, with enough left over for the spring owner rally.

How it works

Send the dealership logo with your order using the product page upload, or attach it to an email to orders@businessbulk.net. Most dealers send their logo as it is, and a marina burgee or an owners club name with the rally year works just as well. Because the engraving is a single tone, bold shapes and clear lettering read better on a keychain than fine detail. A free digital proof arrives by email first, and the laser does not start until you sign off on it. Orders generally ship within 2 to 5 business days after proof approval, so plan boat show stock a few weeks out. No order is too small, which means you can start with one keychain on a demo boat's keys before you commit to 160. All engraving happens in house at our workshop in the Bay Area, California, where a small team handles every job. Your approved file stays saved, so next season's restock is a short email with a quantity in it.

Your yearly delivery count and your show dates are all the quote page needs to price each item at its tier, and all products shows everything else we engrave.
