DAVID ALLISON

Human Behavior Expert & Valuegraphics Database Founder

A Lifetime on the Water: Keeping Them Coming Back for More

We asked Human Behavior Expert and Founder of the Valuegraphics Database David Allison to tell us how to keep a first time boat owner on the water - for life. Using the world's first database of what everyone really cares about, he's studied first-time boat buyers in B.C, and will share the findings with us. These are the secret triggers of human behavior that you can use to keep your customers coming back for more. You'll learn how buyers decide where to buy their first boat, what they love about being on the water, and what they need to hear to keep them excited about boating for a lifetime. He'll review what the data means for digital sales, for social media, and more. If you are selling to end-users these insights are mission-critical, and if you are selling to the industry, these insights will help you understand the unique challenges your products and services must overcome. Either way, you can't afford to miss this.
