Refer to the scenario below to answer the following questions.
Carol Veldt,owner of Seagull Terrace,watched her investment grow from a small,seaside motel to a thriving year- round resort in just a few years.Atop a bluff overlooking the Maine coast,Seagull Terrace had attracted thousands of visits during the summer months,but then faced a tremendous downturn in business during the winter months."But,given the industry in the nearby towns,very little year- round competition,and our close proximity to Portland," Carol added,"I couldn't understand why seasonality had to hit Seagull Terrace so hard!"
So Carol spent her first winter devising a new marketing plan.She put together a promotional package designed to attract business travelers year- round.Carol's plan,then,involved a seasonal promotional gimmick-to be implemented from early winter to late spring-that would attract the same numbers as the large summer crowd.Her idea worked! During her second winter,Carol greeted numerous business travelers-both satisfied repeat guests as well as new guests who had been snagged by her promotional appeals.
"We still have a long way to go," Carol admitted."Our delicatessen offers delicious entrees,but we'd like to expand that.
We provide health club privileges off- site,but we'd like to eventually provide our own.These are goals I hope to achieve in a few years.Our first project,however,included a renovation of our guest rooms and I'm quite proud of the results." Carol then added,"Actually there are so many possibilities.With an indoor pool area,I will eventually offer weekend get- aways throughout winter."
