It is almost that time of the year when some managers are counting down to a peaceful winter, while others are counting the days until their winter crowd arrives. Many managers create a 'todo' list for major projects that often aren't applied until just before the next season. However, getting ready to open for a new season is probably already filled with too many things to do.

Start By Reading What Yours Guests Are Saying!
I bet if you’re like me, finding time to read one more thing, can be difficult! However, reading what your guests are saying in their reviews of your park can be insightful. It can also influence your off-season plans.
Think of reviews like looking in a mirror before you go out for dinner – it’s important to see what others see!
I doubt anyone ever said that owning or managing a RV Resort or Park would be easy. The park management training programs emphasize that a great park is the result of hard work. Every Owner or Manager learns quickly that RV Resorts are not a 'field of dreams' but neither are they impossible. Thankfully, there are thousands of resorts that are very successful and remain a beacon for all.
I believe every holiday is a wonderful marketing opportunity, so let's put on our thinking caps, as my elementary teacher used to say (I never did find mine!), and make plans for your guests. Why not plan a supper holiday meal so that those that are traveling will have a chance to check in, set up camp, and wash their hands!

The old adage, if you build it they will come, may not be true unless you’re occasionally checking your reviews.
Most guests recycle at home by putting glass, cans, and newspapers in separate containers. Some cities require them to do this because it is good for our environment – now and in the future. Many new recyclable programs now have a container for compost material as in food scraps. This keeps the organic stuff out of the landfill where it can turn into methane gas, and instead it turns into great fuel for new food crops. Good for all of us because we like to eat good, healthy things.
