“In changing our focus from commercial fishing to wilderness charters, we faced a steep learning curve in marketing. Our NWTAAC grant helped us to hire professionals to design effective promotional materials, and in the process taught us advertising and marketing strategies. As a result we are sold out and profitable sooner than expected."
