New Branding & Marketing Ideas




The Week before the Duck Hunt

My son and I went out scouting for ducks and a place to setup. As we launched, we noticed a large school of fish feeding on flies that were skimming the surface. I went back to the truck and got the fly rod out.
I noticed that it was my eight weight and I had a strong tip-it on it. I could barley fit the tip-it through the eye but I worked at and tied the clinch knot and laid a fly in the slip stream where they were gulping flies. After about 4 attempts to present it how they wanted it the FIGHT was on. 15 to 20 minutes later I had slipped 10 pounds or more fish into the NuCanoe with me. This is the largest "Great Salt Lake Salmon" that I have caught on a fly. The fly had actually broke but the fly thread held together enough to actually land it. My arm hurt from the fight so I thought I would do it again. I had 4 more on but could not land them, they kept breaking off. It was a great day in the NuCanoe!

The "Fishgt'r"

I'm telling you, a guy can sneak up and get gigantic fish like this with a stealth approach. The boat glides around, aiding you in catching huge fish like this. My brother and his friends looked on as I was able to boat fish after fish today. This is in Wyoming, of course at a secret hole.

NuCanoe "Dummy" Marketing

Bright Star Classics and NuCanoe takes advantage of advertising by putting a NuCanoe on top of their building where all can see from the Interstate 30, and adds a little dummy doing his thing in the canoe. People call and stop to take pics and it's got several people in just by seeing the canoe on top- It's all about Marketing!!! We change his cloths depending on what the season is - he's dressed to kill for the summer!!

First Day on the "Greatest Paddling Boat"

"Just to let you know, took my new NuCanoe out today. What a great boat. Even had more fun than when you let me demo yours. This has got to be the greatest paddling boat built. Had the boat out for over 4 hours, the seat was comfortable the whole time. Paddling was easy and a joy also. You do not really realize all the nice features this boat has until you take it out and use it. The sport box is really nice, as it latches down without the worry of losing items. Even christened the boat with a few fish today. Thank you again Frank, for the opportunity of trying this boat out and the service you provide in selling me this boat. NuCanoe is a great product and I wish you well at Tar River Paddle Sports."

NuCanoe for Photographing a Documentary

From Tim C. with Taku Seasons in the Taku River Basin in Southeast Alaska:

"I want to first thank you for the chance to experience the capabilities of a NuCanoe . Having this boat on the Taku River has opened up a world of opportunities to document the region. The ability to navigate quietly, loaded with camera gear ready to shoot and easily accessible, played a key part in capturing the needed images on this trip. "
