 Greetings!

Bookyoursite.com After a short hiatus during the summer, we are back with our monthly newsletters. Hope you find them helpful. Today, for our current Campground Manager SoftwareŽ customers we have a Bookyoursite.com signup offer. Fall is the shoulder season and a good time for most of our customers to look at their park processes from the summer season. Ask the hard questions like how could I do this more efficiently?  Let Bookyoursite.com be part of the answer. Thanks again for your interest and hope we can continue to earn your trust and your business.

Bookyoursite Contracts and Fees
Bookyoursite.com logoAs stated in our last newsletter we are asking everyone to sign a Bookyoursite.com license agreement and fax over to us. We have  had lots of people respond to that. To those people I say thank you!

 We really need to have those signed and faxed back to Christina at 904-374-4493. Seems our legal people are demanding such. To reward those people who sign and fax back their Bookyoursite.com contract we will freeze their Bookyoursite.com rates at $3 per transaction until May 1, of 2008. Otherwise all non signed accounts the rates will increase to $5 January 1/2008. Thank you for your understanding on this.

If you are not Bookyoursite.com please give it some thought. Pass the fee along to your campers and cut your labor, postage and long distance bills.Contact Chris Rhodes or myself. Or fill in our contact form and we will get back to you. Most of all, give the consumer what he wants or he will go somewhere else.

To our current Campground Manager SoftwareŽ users who are not on Bookyoursite.com what are you waiting for? In order to encourage you to sign up we are offering free setup and the first 50 transactions for free!($249 value). A signed contract is needed and a link to your own website in order to qualify. So call us and let us show you the advantages of using Bookyoursite.com!
Scott's Tech Tip

Did you know that you can go to a person's transaction through the check in list? Here's how, just hold down the "Shift" Key on your keyboard and double-click on the customers line. This will take you to their transaction screen for applying money and checking them in.


Till next month, thanks for your time and trust.

Campground Manager SoftwareŽ Online Announcement
As many of you know we are now offering Campground Manager SoftwareŽ Online as a service. For a monthly fee, you use the software configured for your park. The system is run over the Internet. All you need to run the system is a computer and a browser(highspeed Internet is mandatory). The benefits are many including;
  • No need to worry about upgrades to your system. We handle all that.
  • No need to worry about backups. It is stored on our secure server. You will never have to worry about fires, floods or theft in your campground office because your data is not there.
For as little as $1 per site per month the system can work for you. Works especially well for taking after hours reservation phone calls from your home. Also is ideal for off-site owners/manager who want to be on the "live" system at any time from any location.

The big news in this area of our company we have moved to a new world class secure server environment. Our new co-location server is located at Fuse Point in Toronto. Check it out here. We are now prepared for a direct nuclear strike(Just kidding). Also check out all the advantages for going ASP(application service provider) by clicking here.
