Tarboro, NC (October, 2009) - Although the past year has been an extremely difficult economy, power catamaran manufacturer World Cat has seen increased market share and a positive cash flow, thanks to strong sales of their new 290 models. The state of the economy has created other opportunities for World Cat: the company recently combined with their main competitor, Glacier Bay, which lets them challenge their mono-hull competitors in a much stronger position. The company is also developing a line of 17' to 25' entry-level catamarans, to debut next spring.
To celebrate, World Cat recently announced the Cat Scratch Fever sales event, which offers $5,000 towards any 2010 29' model or bigger. To qualify for the discount, the purchase must be completed by December 15, 2009. More information about the program can be found through a authorized local dealer or on the web at www.worldcat.com/rebates.
As part of Cat Scratch Fever, both current and previous World Cat owners can receive up to $10,000 towards a 2010 World Cat, 290 model or bigger. More information program about this owner rebate can be found on the web at www.worldcat.com/ownerrebates.
World Cat dealers currently have very limited inventory. However, a dealer can buy any boat in the World Cat network, providing customers with a great price and the service they deserve. To help customers find the right boat, World Cat has begun listing their dealers' boats and options on their website, at www.worldcat.com/inventory.
To qualify for Cat Scratch Fever discounts, purchase must be completed by December 15, 2009.
The company is also launching a new campaign to promote the advantages of catamarans over mono-hulls, and dispelling many of the myths about cats. World Cat sees this as a unique opportunity to grow the cat segment by demonstrating how their boats deliver their customers a strong value for their investment and a better alternative to traditional boating. Andrew Brown, president of World Cat, states, "Our goal is to grow the catamaran niche in the US, and I know we can achieve this goal: we have a strong company, a great message, a broad product line, and most importantly, we have a customer base that's passionate about telling our story."
