Advertising and promotion we consider to be an important investment, even though it is costly. We hope to generate the sales to pay for the advertising as we progress. We partially tie our advertising costs to forecasted sales. We target our advertising to the markets we feel will have the greatest number of potential customers so as not to waste our advertising dollars.
We are perceived as one of the better RV resorts on the coast. A place people enjoy coming to enough to return again and again, offering them ample amenities and natural beauty so that they want to spend their vacation time with us. And we are close enough to great fishing, river trips, a gambling casino and golf course, numerous state parks of great beauty, hiking, wind surfing, restaurants, shopping, etc. We inform our potential customers of what we have in the most impressive manner possible. And we track results of our different approaches to determine which is most effective.
