Ken Cook Co. and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) recently announced the transfer of NMMA’s boat owner’s manual program to Ken Cook Co. Plans are underway for Ken Cook Co. to enhance the ordering process with a digital storefront. NMMA’s boat owner’s manuals were designed to help the recreational boater safely operate, maintain and enjoy their craft. The manuals themselves will not change during this transition.
What this Transfer Will Mean to You
What will this transfer mean to you and your boating customers? Having a digital storefront will mean more convenience as well as faster and simpler ordering processes for your boating customers.
1. Your customers will be able to place orders of any quantity 24/7 online through the digital storefront.
2. We’ll be able to process orders immediately via credit card as a convenience to your customer and to you.
3. We’ll send shipments typically within 24 to 48 hours of the order (depending on volume). We’ll even handle expedited shipping if your customers are in a rush.
Robert Newsome, Vice President of Engineering Standards for NMMA, said, “Owner manuals are important resources for recreational boaters, and NMMA has provided them as a service to our members.” He added, “The transition to Ken Cook Co. will be seamless, as they are the ideal partner for this program with their extensive marine industry experience, as well as programming, printing and fulfillment capabilities.”
John Jost, Director of Marine Solutions for Ken Cook Co., remarked, “Given our active involvement with a number of marine associations including ABYC, NMMA and WSIA, we are committed to bringing value to our customers with the latest regulations and safety information.”
