Over 1000 Well-Selected RIB Videos on RIBsONLY.com
Ever since I started on May 1st 2017 with the new RIBsONLY.com my goal was to find and share great, interesting, fun … RIB videos. The reason is obvious: I love RIBs! For me there only two kind of boats: RIBs and other boats 😉 Now on New Year’s eve, I uploaded the 1001st RIB video. I hope you enjoy all of the RIB videos as much as I do!
RIBs ONLY Facebook Group Outranks Apple in NPS
On October 22th 2019 I launched a survey in the RIBs ONLY Facebook group. The goal was to get a Net Promoter Score. This tool aims to measure the loyalty that exists between a provider and a consumer. I was very curious to know how you would perceive our group.
Net Promoter Score is a number from -100 from 100. Scores higher than 0 are typically considered to be good and scores above 50 are considered to be excellent.
The question for you was:
Considering your complete experience with our RIBs ONLY Facebook group, how likely would you be to recommend it to a friend or colleague?
(10 is very likely, 0 is very unlikely)
I gathered the data and used an Excel template to calculate the score. The result is not a percentage, nor an average or median. In other words the higher the number the more satisfied the members are.
As Excel did its thing in microseconds, the NPS score turned out to be 82. I was pleasantly surprised because the NPS was beyond my imagination: NPS 82 … wow! Why is this such a fantastic score?
Well, Apple has a NPS of nearly 50 which is considered to be very good. I choose Apple as a benchmark because many of you visit our Facebook group and RIBsONLY.com by iPhone.
An NPS of 82 is very high because a lot of members gave our RIBs ONLY Facebook group a 10 on the question mentioned above. And more … RIBs ONLY has a lot of ambassadors, enthousiastic members that invite friends.
So RIBs ONLY outranks Apple, Microsoft, Google and many more in NPS. What a way to go!

I thank you all, as Freddy Mercury used to sing.
A Price Too Good To Be True
There is so much relevance in this statement on the photo no matter what product or service you buy or sell. When I relate to buying a Rigid Inflatable Boat, outboard engine and boat trailer you want an excellent after sales service, isn’t it. After all there’s a lot of hard-earned money involved. A solid company always takes into account the cost of after sales services.
Patrick Maes from CPI-Commercial Performance Improvement, summarizes it as follows:
Customer service is the new selling. Therefore make sure that your customer ends up in the service experience of your organization as quickly as possible.
This means that a company big or small, has a process, a flow to empower that service. This is an investment in client loyalty.
The ‘value delivery’ is the moment for companies to start up and cross selling. Put your focus on repeat purchasing.
800 Blog Posts on RIBsONLY.com
On May 1st 2017, RIBsONLY.com went live as you know it today. Since then, 740 well chosen videos and 20 slideshows were posted amongst others. Prior to this blog, RIBs ONLY was just a simple RIB forum started in 2008, 4 years after Facebook went online. Since 2017, I decided to shift a higher gear to promote the Rigid Inflatable Boat.
Many thanks to all of you fans, visitors, ambassadors!
And not to forget the Friends of RIBs ONLY: Novi-Marine, Vanclaes Stainless Steel Trailers, Yahama, Brugge Marine Center, Hydrosport RIBs, and Marine Technics. Please pay their website a visit.
This moment calls for a small celebration and I’ll be cracking a bottle of Cava to toast on it with my wife who’s been enormously supportive along the way.
Long live RIBs ONLY!

Welcome to RIBs ONLY
This blog is devoted to the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Why RIBs?
PASSION FOR RIBs
I’ve always been fascinated by the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Their form, style, lay-out, toughness, seaworthiness and sportive way of navigating are the unquestionable advantages you’ll rarely find combined in another type of boat.
TYPE OF RIBs
This type of boat is also known as the 4 x 4 of the sea. Rescue services, military, police, port staff often use RIBs because of their excellent behavior, seaworthiness and solidity. Other RIBs are fitted for pleasure, fishing and racing. A RIB is indeed a very special type of motorboat. Know what to look for when buying a RIB.
SOCIAL MEDIA
RIBs ONLY has a Facebook group. Become a member of this great RIB community: it’s free and you get to meet great passionates! And if you’re looking to buy, check out our RIBs ONLY Sales Facebook group.
Now what’s a RIB …
