Challenge

As a seasonal business on the high-tourist-traffic island of Nantucket, Nantucket By Water has a short window of time to maximize cruises. Part of this entails continued marketing throughout the slow months to keep the business top of mind and remind locals, returning visitors, and people planning their first trip to Nantucket that Nantucket By Water has the right cruise for anyone. From year-round marketing efforts, including social media management, blogging, and website management, to seasonal efforts, including email marketing, paid social ads, and Google ads, Blue Seven ensures that marketing efforts are aligned with and are supporting the business in reaching goals for the season.
