Location is a big consideration factor in the boat-buying journey and now consumers can quickly shop inventory in easy-to-visit towns and regions.
Location search is expected to be a big assist for consumers living in bustling regional centres and cross-border locations such as Newcastle in NSW, Gold Coast, Townsville, Cairns and Rockhampton in Queensland, Geelong in Victoria and Busselton in Western Australia.
“carsales network data reveals that consumers in these regions used location search refinements to a greater degree than consumers in capital cities,” Harris said.
“Now with location search, a boatsales.com.au shopper in Townsville, for example, can now easily shop boats in the immediate Townsville region only.”
The release of location search highlights the carsales network’s commitment to delivering the best boat shopping experience for Australian consumers.
“Location search was born out of close analysis of consumer behaviour, search behaviour and the feedback of Australian boat dealers partnering with boatsales.com.au,” Harris said.
“The rollout of the new feature is not only a win for consumers but dealers in regional and cross-border towns across Australia that will now be able better respond to the needs of local boatsales shoppers.”
