🔷 MARKETING TIPS FOR YACHTING COMPANIES 🔷
Recently, someone asked : “Which content performs best for you on LinkedIn?”
💡 Long form content, no graphics?
💡 Short form, no graphics?
💡 Video content?
💡 Content with a carousel?
💡 Polls?
You can’t just expect prospective customers to find you and love your content.
Finding out data from others in the yachting industry is difficult. People are protective of their methods and understandably so.
I don’t work that way.
I think the best approach is sharing knowledge, rather than hiding it. I’ve dealt with many copy cats and plagiarism, but the downside of sharing knowledge is much less than the benefits.
Anyway, here’s a sample of my LinkedIn posts from the past 3 months:
✅ My best performing posts are usually text + photo + hashtags.
✅ I always use hashtags – I have been monitoring a core group of yachting-specific hashtags for about 2.5 years.
✅ I usually post in the morning EU time as that is when the bulk of my target audience and followers are online and engaging.
✅ Polls get good engagement, however I would suggest using them sparingly unless you are really clear about your goals. There’s no point posting a poll about your dinner or favourite coffee if you want a paying client in the yachting industry.

🔷 4 Tips for LinkedIn:
✅ Publish with a QUALITY mindset, not a quantity mindset.
✅ ENGAGE with your followers by responding to comments and shares.
✅ Fill gaps by SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE via USEFUL CONTENT such as explainer guides, demos or answering FAQs about your company.
✅ Don’t underestimate the power of lurkers! Many people never engage with your LinkedIn posts, yet they will watch your activity for a long time and pop up to direct message you with a lead, partnership or work offer. LinkedIn posts have incredible longevity; I often have people contact me about posts that were published 12 months or older. Start posting today!
