Create easy access to the water by installing a floating dock system so your customers can easily and quickly get in and out of the water. Install a floating dock system that's large enough to carry the foot traffic you experience on a regular basis. Consider an extra wide floating dock system for handicapped customers.
Consult with reputable floating dock equipment suppliers who have the experience to help you design the best floating dock system for your business needs. Discuss all fees including shipping and handling and make sure you have access to customer service after the sale.
1. Deal with floating docking suppliers you can trust.
2. Request installation of your floating dock.
3. Evaluate specialized floating docks.
Purchase your floating docks from well-known suppliers
Make sure you're making your floating dock purchase from a company with a solid reputation. Discuss shipping charges and return policies and investigate each company you're considering to ensure that there are no outstanding concerns you should be aware of before you make any final decisions.
Have your floating docks installed by professionals
Request that installation of your floating dock system be a part of the service you receive when you purchase your dock. While it is true that most consider floating docks relatively simple to install, you can probably make better use of your time by focusing on your customers.
Go beyond the basics for your floating dock
Attract attention to your business and your waterfront by offering more than the traditional floating dock. Choose a floating dock that has lifts to hoist personal water craft from the water or choose floating docks in unusual shapes and colors so it can draw attention to your water front, making it another marketing tool.
- Remember to check your dock using dock levelers at least once each season. Keeping your dock level helps avoid accidents to boats and to your customers creating a savings of not only cash but also your reputation.
