Marketing and brand awareness are like oxygen for any business – and your dive shop, resort or club is no different.
As a former Marketing Manager for several large international corporations, Peter Alfermann, Founder and Creator of Dive Logz, understands how integral branding is to your marketing plan. “Your brand connects you with customers, helps you stay top of mind, and is the foundation for the loyalty that keeps people coming back.”
Putting your shop, resort, or club logo on merchandise is a great way to get your brand out there and spread awareness. And it doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, with Dive Logz, you can customize any scuba log book design with your logo FREE with a minimum order of just 50 pieces.
But that’s just the beginning!
Scuba diving log books can be customized in lots of ways, inside and out. And the impact is high, since divers tend to carry their log books wherever and whenever they go diving, keeping you on their mind and putting you on the radar of other divers.
In addition to adding your dive shop or dive resort logo to the front or back cover of a dive log, you can also customize the inside of a log book to turn it into a powerful marketing tool that builds brand awareness while giving your divers a unique, high-value piece they’ll be thrilled to carry and use. For example, you can:
- Create a unique, log book cover with your own exclusive artwork or photography to appeal to your divers and make them feel like part of a family;
- Add special, custom pages – in color or black and white – like maps, guides, safety tips, promotions, fish ID, tear-away coupons, and more. You can do this on your own, or collaborate with local businesses and/or attractions to cross-promote to divers on vacation in your area.
- Customize log pages with your own categories, icons, or additional fields.
LEARN MORE ABOUT CUSTOMIZING A DIVE LOGZ SCUBA DIVING LOG BOOK
The possibilities for how you can use a customized scuba log book in your business really depends on what kind of dive shop, resort, club, or organization you are. You’re only limited by your imagination! Read on for some ideas to get you started…
Custom Dive Logs Help Build Customer Loyalty for Urban Dive Shops
Urban shops that offer scuba certification courses tend to have more than their fair share of new divers, as well as forward-thinking divers who are preparing for upcoming trips.
A custom, branded scuba log book is a great way of staying top of mind with your clients, helping to make your shop synonymous with diving in their minds. It also supports and reinforces good logging behavior for new divers.
In our years of business, we’ve seen lots of divers pick up our unique log books for family dive trips or scuba adventures with friends as part of building the excitement for their upcoming trip. Customizing our covers with your dive shop logo on the front or back is a great way to spread brand awareness through your clients’ networks.
Want to take your customized dive log to the next level? Add coupons, promotions, or advanced training pages to the inside to keep people coming back and trigger follow-up visits to your shop.
If your shop organizes dive trips, hosts dive clubs, or leads diving excursions, you can also use a cool, customized, branded log book to as a gift, give-away, or sign-up bonus. Include trip information pages, fish ID, and more to make it a memento they’ll use and keep.
Build Brand Awareness for Your Destination Dive Shop with Custom Scuba Log Books
Scuba shops in dive destinations tend to see a lot of revolving traffic as travelling divers come into and out of their area. That can be both a challenge and an opportunity.
Travelers love keepsakes, and a unique, branded dive log is a great one. It can also help spread the word, as eye-catching designs are great conversation starters (“hey, cool log book – where did you get it?”) that give divers a reason to share the experience they’ve had with you and your crew.
Make it even more special by customizing the inside pages of the dive log with information that traveling divers are hungry for, like local fish and marine life ID, dive sites, wrecks, topography, conservation information, restaurant and hotel cross-promotions, maps, and attractions. That will turn your custom scuba log book into a practical, valuable tool that people will use throughout their trip and keep afterward.
Upgrade Your Customer Experience with Custom Logs for Your Dive Resort
Scuba divers are a passionate bunch, and for many a stay at a dive resort or on a liveaboard is literally a dive dream come true.
That’s why a branded, custom log book is such a perfect gift or on-site purchase – it keeps the dream alive, and reminds divers of their amazing experience every time they grab their log book.
It can also be a great way to communicate key information to your dive guests, such as resort details and services, safety, local fish varieties, currents and topography, favorite dive sites, packages and specials, VIP dive experiences, promotions, and more.
The best part? Custom scuba log books feel high end and exclusive, but don’t have to cost more than regular, unbranded books.
Don’t have any in-house creatives? No problem – Dive Logz does! We’ve worked with prestigious resorts including Sandals, Beaches, Southern Cross, and Wakatobi to create beautiful, exclusive, custom scuba log books. We’d love to do the same for you!
Not a full-fledged dive resort but want to show divers you’re serious about your scuba services? A custom scuba log book is a great place to start.
