Check out the new Discover Boating Canada marketing campaign dashboard (progress updates will be made monthly). The Dashboard is an indicator of the reach of our national advertising efforts and measures how many Canadians are taking action to visit DiscoverBoating.ca to learn more about the boating lifestyle, how many have visited a boat brand website and more. In the first five months of 2018, 86% of traffic to DiscoverBoating.ca from our advertising campaign have never been to DiscoverBoating.ca before, which shows that the marketing campaign is attracting new people to explore the boating lifestyle.
