Central marketing

In today’s market, many purchasing decisions are made online and this also applies to renting a kayak. It is therefore important to be visible and accessible when consumers are looking for options. For those reasons, KAYAKOMAT by Point 65 Sweden, is continually investing in extensive online marketing. In addition, we get a fantastic extra boost on Google because we exist as multiple rental stations, with consistent content, under the same umbrella and website.

The central marketing fund creates awareness and drives traffic to the central booking site, generating bookings for your KAYAKOMAT. This central approach results in a wider range of exposure than anything individuals could achieve on their own. By actively investing in public relations we get attention in national and local media, and become a familiar service, encouraging repeat clients in multiple locations.

KAYAKOMAT - how it works

We have developed a concept that involves a central online booking system with integrated smart locks and a specially developed, covered, kayak rack - the KAYAKOMAT. When your customers book their kayak rental they automatically receive a code that they use to unlock the kayak, so you do not have to be present every time a kayak is rented or returned. This self-serve concept can be operated as a partially unmanned leisure activity. KAYAKOMAT is self-sufficient and does not require electricity or water.
