Boat Donation A Promising Alternative

The boating industry has been hard hit by the dismal U.S. economic situation, and many yachtsmen wanting to sell their boats are finding the average selling period has increased significantly while prices have dropped as well…

Our client, Pacific Marine Foundation, has a practical alternative to selling, and you can likely get better economic benefits in the long run. We know it sounds incredible, but the truth is that you can actually end up with more money by donating your boat than you can by selling!

How is this possible? You’ll have to consult your own tax advisers or accountants to find out how this applies to your particular tax situation, but, in a nutshell, when you add up the actual dollars you save on your tax bill plus the mounting ongoing expenses you save by not getting stuck in a long-term, low-ball sales cycle, you could come out way ahead.

Obivously, this is just a brief review of PMF’s boat donation program, so you’ll want to contact them directly for specifics that you can take to your accountant, but we’ve seen this work out to the benefit of many donors over the years we’ve worked with PMF, so it’s worth serious consideration.

Here at TrueStar Marketing, we’re constantly asked what web design & promotion applications, site management products, traffic-building techniques and secret internet voodoo we use in developing and promoting our clients’ web sites…

We’ve done our best to keep this all “under wraps,” but the time has come for us to dive into the blogosphere and share the International Promotion and Marketing wit, wisdom and any other cliches we can regurgitate on these pages for your enlightenment and amusement.

We’ll try to keep it helpful and informative, though we make no promises… You probably already know how crazy things can get after several long nights in a row. Sleep deprivation can definitely warp the mind!

We’re also looking forward to profiling some of our clients and their businesses occasionally published on these pages… so come back once in a while, or subscribe to our RSS Feed and you’ll hear about new posts automatically.

Thanks, enjoy and feel free to pitch In with your “2 pence”, “2 pesos” or “2 rubles”… or any other currency that still has value on the world scene…
