QR codes in advertising for charter yachts and management services offer quick links to online info.

In advertising consistency and frequency are key to success. Churchill Yacht Partners knows this and presents quarterly spreads in the Charter Index Guide, a high-end luxury magazine well known amongst yachting industry professionals.

The most recent Summer ad features four highlighted yachts, each complete with an individual QR code so readers can get online details on each vessel right away.

The ad is eye-catching thanks in part to Churchill’s unique color palette of orange, teals and dark greens, and the New England inspired photography helps bring everything together nicely.

This advertisement works in combination with Churchill’s previous ads in the same publication.

New ad campaign for the Horizon EP148 introduces new adventure yacht with creative visuals

Advertising a brand new yacht always presents an interesting challenge to builders, the sales team and the marketing and design experts, especially when the campaign must be launched a few weeks before the yacht is fully photographed.

Such was the task at hand with the new Horizon EP148, an adventure-style luxury megayacht, fully Ice classed and capable of sailing to remote and hard-to-access destinations worldwide.

A combination of approximately 7–8 different images and renderings were utilized in order to visually transport the rendering of the EP148 to a beautiful location with an inspiring backdrop of icy mountains, pristine waters, and bright blue skies. Extensive photo retouching can do wonders to communicate an idea, particularly when the original pieces or “image-building-blocks” are all of the highest quality.

Top 5 reasons why a trifold brochure resolves some of Horizon’s Boat Show marketing needs.

There are many ways to go about Boat Show marketing. From high-end oversized luxury brochures and catalogues, to giveaways such as hats, pens, fans and tote bags. Regardless of their chosen promotional efforts, most Boat Show exhibitors need some form of printed literature to hand out. We helped Horizon Yachts create this trifold brochure for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show and these are some of the reasons it was a great solution: 

1. SIZE: At 9" width x 6" height, the brochure is easy to carry. This piece is not too big or heavy for clients spending the day at the Show. 
2. ORGANIZATION: The 6 individual panels allow for the information to be divided in a logical way. Each panel features 2 yacht series.
3. QUICK OVERVIEW: While the piece is small, it gives a quick overview of the various styles Horizon is building and of the models available in each series.
4. BRANDING: The brochure retains the Horizon look & style and is easily identified with the Horizon brand.
5. COST-EFFECTIVE: A trifold brochure is an affordable solution that can be printed in high quantities to hand out to a large Boat Show audience.
