How Premier Watersports went from 16 to 636 monthly form submissions

Premier Watersports

Real numbers. A real dealer. Same inventory, same market.

Premier Watersports is a three-location marine dealership in Tennessee — Knoxville, Nashville/Gallatin, and Norris Lake — selling Supra, Moomba, and pre-owned inventory. They were the first dealership on DealerEdge. Here is exactly what changed, measured on the same March window, year over year.

The Headline

16 → 636 monthly form submissions

Before DealerEdge, Premier's site produced 16 form submissions in a month. After launch, the same period produced 636 — a 3,875% increase. Those weren't empty clicks: 184 boat inquiry forms, plus schedule-a-visit, text-us, and finance requests, feeding 101 CRM leads captured since launch (31 phone clicks, 15 texts, 10 chats, 10 scheduled visits).

“What other dealers
do you have?”

An honest answer: Premier Watersports is our flagship dealership — the first dealer on the platform, and we publish their numbers in full because they're measured, dated, and verifiable.

Before DealerEdge existed as a dealer platform, our team built and ran the digital platforms behind boat manufacturers themselves — Supra (cost per lead cut 89%), Moomba (leads grown 809%), Regulator, and the Jayco family of brands. Those are manufacturer results, not dealer case studies — and we label them that way. That manufacturer work is where the platform's engine comes from; Premier is the proof of what it does at the dealership level. As more dealers launch, their results will be published here the same way — real windows, real numbers, real dealers, year over year.
