Added Selling Power: In membership camping, the sales focus should always be on the 'home resort' or primary product. However, surveys indicate that consumers want the added benefit of being able to access other quality camping locations, and that having this benefit is a prime factor in their purchase decision. By affiliating with a high quality reciprocal network like Coast to Coast, resorts gain added selling power and further enhance their ability to be successful in membership camping sales. Not only can affiliated resorts offer their members all the benefits associated with their home resort, but they can offer their members the added value of being able to visit hundreds of other high quality Coast to Coast resorts all over North America. Not to mention all the additional travel discounts and services that Coast to Coast makes available to its members.
Recognition: Coast to Coast affiliated resorts gain immediate recognition in the marketplace because Coast to Coast is well known for the high quality of its affiliated resorts. Coast to Coast created the reciprocal use concept for RV resorts and has more than 30 years of experience in providing quality services. Our family ties with the Affinity Group, which also owns The Good Sam Club, Camping World, TL Enterprises, and Woodall's Publishing, provide added strength and industry recognition. Coast to Coast is also associated with the leading industry organizations including RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association), ARVC (National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds) & ARDA (American Resort Development Association).
Educational Conferences, Workshops & Roundtables: Coast to Coast hosts an annual Resort Conference featuring industry experts, supplier exhibits and seminars focusing on critical issues of the campresort business, like operations, financial modeling and legal structuring.

Coast to Coast also hosts Regional Workshops and round tables to serve the same educational purposes for affiliates.
Sales & Marketing Collateral: Coast to Coast provides its affiliated resorts with eye-catching and professional sales materials to assist them during their sales presentations. Materials available include colorful brochures, wall posters, system directories, and an exclusive sales video promoting the RV lifestyle and award winning new member kits.
BARCLAYS "Instant Credit" Program: This preferred VISA Card program is designed to give the resort owner a financial tool to increase sales and revenue and provide to the customer an alternative means of financing their membership cost.
