OMC exceeds $300M goal in dealer-meeting orders
Article Abstract:
Outboard Marine Corp. (OMC) has booked $319 million in potential sales during its three-day dealers meeting held aboard a cruise ship in Nassau, Bahamas, in late July 1998. The Waukegan, IL-based engine and boatbuilder unveiled a new brand marketing strategy, which basically establishes premium and value-priced categories. In addition, programs for dealer purchasing, parts and accessories and a blueprint and retail-financing plan with Transamerica Inventory Finance have also been introduced. Based on early returns after the dealers meeting, OMC's new direction won significant approval from its dealers.

Dealer-jury out on new-look OMC
Article Abstract:
Outboard Marine Corp. (OMC) of Waukegan, IL, has launched a new brand-driven marketing, product repositioning and dealer-pricing programs. The company sent informational packets to retailers, its boatbuilder packing and prerigging partners, consumers and trade press in early July 1998, before it launched its new marketing strategy. However, it is still too early to determine how the new concept would be accepted by the industry. Although the company's business is improving, it still has to obtain positive response from its wholesale partners to make the new concept win consumers.
