Miami International Boat Show: 52 Manufacturers Recognized With CSI Awards

February 2017 Industry, News

This morning at the Innovation Breakfast of the Miami International Boat Show, the National Marine Manufacturers Association announced 52 recipients of the 2016 Marine Customer Satisfaction Index awards.

According to their press release, “The Marine Industry CSI Awards honor boat and engine manufacturers who actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve their customers. Award recipients achieved an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past program year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.  Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period. For this reporting period, the program surveyed more than 122,000 customers.”

Robert Newsome, vice president of engineering standards and membership for NMMA, went on to say, “Fostering a culture of excellence in customer satisfaction not only builds exceptional brand loyalty, but creates an outstanding boating experience, ensuring that today’s boater remains the boater of tomorrow, and promotes industry growth by developing boaters into lifestyle advocates. We congratulate these 52 manufacturers for their commitment to their customers and for creating an incomparable boat ownership experience.”
