Icom Brings Information and Advice to a Wider Marine Audience
Marine radio communication distributor Icom UK has developed with ybw.com, Europe’s leading marine web site, a microsite offering visitors online advice and information about marine radio. The aim of the microsite is to help both those looking for a VHF unit, and those who already have one installed but need assistance and advice.
The Icom powered VHF guide can be accessed from a variety of magazine sites; (see list); the Icom web site as well as ybw.com. The site offers helpful tips for choosing the most appropriate type of VHF; things to consider when purchasing; an explanation of DSC and importantly, an area of Trouble Shooting Frequently Asked Questions. If visitors need more help and advice there is an email advice service available linked to Icom's expert team.
To celebrate the launch, Icom UK are offering the chance to win the award winning IC-M21 handheld VHF by answering one simple question.
Ian Lockyer, Marketing Manager at Icom UK Ltd sees this as a step forward in customer communications. He said, 'We have a wealth of knowledge to offer both new and established customers. Now we are able to share this knowledge through the Internet and really interact with our customers. ybw.com has provided the perfect way to achieve this.'
