Virginia Beach, VA (July 21, 2022)- Boatline, Trader Interactive’s newest emerging brand, continues to position itself as a leader and partner in the marine space. Recently, the company received accolades including Boating Industry’s Top Products award and recognition of EVP, Paige Bouma, in the Women Making Waves segment of Boating Industry’s magazine. To add to the industry accreditation, the boating marketplace is continuing to position itself as a thought leader in the marine space through an Education Champion sponsorship with Marine Retailers Association (MRAA).

Boatline’s relatively new entrance into the marine industry is already making a splash by providing valuable services to customers. This is evident in Boatline’s inclusion as one of Boating Industry’s Top Products of 2022. This program is made to bring consumers a list of 50 top innovative products and services new to the boat market. Boatline being featured on this list amplifies the value it is bringing to its dealers: expanding the reach of their business, getting their inventory in front of the right buyers, and communicating with consumers quickly and authentically.

The second recognition was in honor of EVP, Paige Bouma, featured in Boating Industry’s Women Making Waves segment in the June/July publication. Bouma was nominated for her excellent leadership, the work she has done within the boating industry, and her personal love for the lifestyle; this was not only an exciting spotlight for Bouma, but a great opportunity for Boatline to highlight the valuable service it provides boat dealers. This recognition will also be celebrated in the upcoming Boating Industry Elevate Summit event ceremony in November.

Accolades aside, Boatline extends its support of the marine industry as not only a sales and marketing partner for dealers but as an educational resource in the boating industry as a whole; as such, Boatline has entered into the second-highest level of membership in MRAA’s Education Champions program. 

“Boatline is excited to activate this partnership which will further position the company as thought leaders serving the marine industry,” says Lori Stacy, CEO of Trader Interactive, the parent company of Boatline. “Partnering with MRAA through the Education Championship program allows us to share information gathered through decades of experience in the recreational industry, that will expand knowledge of the industry and keep dealers competitive in the marketplace.” 

The Education Champions level fuels the educational programming that MRAA delivers to its members in a year-round sponsorship program. In this position, Boatline will take part in MRAA’s world-class education through opportunities such as Dealer Week, The MRAA Conference and Expo, MRAATraining.com or any other medium through which MRAA delivers content.
