Boating and Fishing Spoken Here

There are plenty of people out there who can build a pretty website. And plenty more who can write top-shelf copy. And plenty more with a deep knowledge of boating and fishing. But there aren't many places those three groups overlap.

You just found one.

Overslot Communications makes use of inexpensive online web tools combined with a background in professional writing, editing and photography and an almost unhealthy obsession with boats and fishing to offer practical, effective, and inexpensive communications and marketing support tailored just for small- to medium-sized boat builders, tackle companies, and charter outfits.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

We take a direct, common-sense approach to communications. Think about what potential customers and clients want to know, think about out how and where they want to find that information, and then deliver it as simply and efficiently as possible. We're not here to push "integrated marketing solutions" with six-figure price tags. If you want a complete communications overhaul, we can do that. If you just want a good description of a new boat model, we can do that too.

Who We Are, What We Do, and How We Do it

Let's be honest here. Overslot Communications is ... well, me, Zack Thomas, the guy not catching bass in the picture above. I'm a former editor of saltwater fishing and boating publications, an award-winning (really, lots of them) outdoor writer and photographer with credits in titles like Salt Water Sportsman and Sport Fishing, former executive director of the Outdoor Writers Association of California, and, more recently, head of online and print publications and communications for a couple of university foundations including, currently, the University of Central Florida Foundation.

I offer what I like to think are exceptionally good communications and web services with real, personal service. Big ad firms are right for some companies, but for others a smaller, more responsive, and more down-to-earth approach is better. Even if money is not an object — and we all know it is — there's something to be said for being able to pick up the phone and talk to the guy who makes the decisions instead of an account rep who'll decide if your issue is important enough to connect you with somebody who actually knows what's going on.

If that's the way you like to do business, and if you're looking for straight answers and effective, affordable, real-world web, communications and marketing support, please give me a call.
