Resort Management Priority Issues Surveyed by Resort Trades

CustomerCount© Online System Employed as Comprehensive Tracking Vehicle

Published February 1, 2010

Resort Trades and AskMando.Com have launched a CustomerCount© survey to over 18,000 hospitality professionals to ascertain the resort industry’s property management outlook and overall plans in the year to come.

In order to encourage vital responses all timeshare professionals responding to this survey will be given a $150 Vacation Value Card, and be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $200 gift card from TruCash. In order to receive the Vacation Value Card and be entered into the drawing, the questionnaire must be answered by February 15, 2010.

The project is designed to identify opportunities and trends for improvement so resort managers, HOAs and Developers can better meet the needs of their owners and guests. Provided as a service by The Trades publications, the information will provide valuable insights and tools to be used in the management of resorts. This confidential survey will produce industry information that will be published in an article by Georgi Bohrod of GBG & Associates in the April issue of Resort Trades and the May/June issue of Management & Operations.

The survey looks at such management issues as Reserve Studies, ADA Requirements and Green Initiatives, to name a few. The CustomerCount Online Feedback process began with Email invitations and reminders and continues through to on-line reporting and analysis 24/7. It has been customized for this survey. Originally designed by Mobius Vendor Partners for its client RCI, the Online Feedback system collects and measures feedback from customers and can be designed, such as in this case, for other market measuring campaigns as well.

The new Customer Count Survey is available at https://www.customercountsurveys.com/front/TheTrades/
