Marketing agencies have used promotional vacations with free accommodations to lure travelers to their resorts and properties for decades. What better way to cater to your target audience with test-drive of you property to help increase profits, repeat business and generate leads. Long ago, resorts found out quickly that it was easier to sell a customer a vacation package while they are actually experiencing it! Soon, companies like Preferred Guest Resorts (PGR)—a 30-year leader in the industry with strategic partnership—sprouted and offered special vacation packages. Preferred Guest Resorts defined itself by enhancing experiences, and forging direct partnerships with reliable resorts, condominiums, hotels, vacation homes, and strategic partners like Walt Disney World® Resort and Alamo®, to offer people greatly enhanced promotional vacation packages. Through PGR’s Best Vacations Ever, travelers get to enjoy a customized 3-7 night vacation in spectacular destinations like Orlando, Florida, with free accommodations—or a Bahamas cruise—additional or other privileged incentives like free Alamo® rental cars, attraction tickets, upgrades and much more, in exchange for participation in a fun, interactive, 90-minute presentation that shows you how to save hundreds of dollars off your future travel.

So Why the Bad Wrap?
People like to say there’s a catch to promotional vacations, when, in fact, customers are advised from the beginning that free accommodations and perks may only be redeemed if they participate in the 90-minute presentation, with no pressure to buy anything. Preferred Guest Resorts discloses all information ahead of time via many communication channels, such as its:

• bestvacationsever.com website
• online FAQs
• descriptive terms
• information-packed welcome emails
• customer service letter streams
• reservation center travel agents

A recent news report said the new trend is “complaining online rather than going through the company and its internal resolution processes  rather than its internal resolution processes.” It’s easier and faster to be heard, and often bolder with false or defamatory statements. Everything on the Internet IS “true,” right? (Sigh…)

Further problems often come from using other promotional vacation companies that do not adhere to the laws or do not meet the same level of standards and enhanced vacation experiences as Preferred Guest Resorts that makes sure it offers guests their Best Vacations Ever.

Try Your Best Vacation Ever
The recession actually reignited a new interest in promotional vacations, timeshares, and fractional and interval ownerships, which have become economically trendy. The most important thing to do is go with a reliable, registered company like Preferred Guest Resorts, which offers unique travel services and provides companies with promotional and incentive travel packages, as well as customer rewards with exclusively tailored incentive packages for both small and Fortune 500 companies.

What are some of your best tips and advice for taking a  promotional vacation?

If you’re looking for a resort-quality vacation on a budget, promotional vacations are an excellent way to get away to a sophisticated resort-style setting or a safe and friendly family environment—without breaking the bank.

What’s a Promotional Vacation? 

With promotional vacations, you book a complete package before you even leave the comfort of your living room. In return for coupons, free resort lodging, tours, or other high-quality incentives, you agree to attend a short promotional tour of the resort or facility where you’ll be staying.

Many of our resorts offer full walk-through tours of their extensive facilities; others offer virtual tours in a presentation-style setting. Our family-friendly resorts even offer secure childcare services so that the adults can enjoy a little restful time while strolling our resort environments.

Timeshare and vacation club presentations are an excellent way to receive free tickets to local attractions, complimentary accommodations and other incentives. The gifts you can receive range from run of the mill to spectacular, all with the intent to encourage travelers to sit through a presentation. Before you attend this kind of event, you need to be prepared. Here are the things you’ll need to bring with you, if you decide to make a purchase:

The Right Mindset

You realize that timeshare and vacation club presentations are for making a sale, so approach the event with an open mind. Let the presenter know before the session begins that if you’re interested, you will certainly make a purchase, but that you’re not interested in being pressured into buying something you know you don’t really want. This will allow you to enjoy the presentation without as many pressures from the presenter.

Readable Intentions

It’s a waste of your time and the presenter’s if you lead them on, pretending you’re interested in a particular product just to let them down at the very end. If the timeshare they bring up sounds interesting to you, show your intentions. If you’re not interested in that particular property or product, make it apparent so you can move on to something that is of interest.

Knowledge of Timeshares

Do your research ahead of time so you know how timeshares work and what you like about them. Then, when the presentation begins, you can tell the presenter that you’re more interested in learning about the amenities of the resort rather than the ins and outs of timeshares. This decreases the presentation time and brings the session to the point more quickly.

You may not have attended a timeshare and vacation club presentation before, but if you’re even remotely interested in what the presentation offers, it’s certainly worth attending. Connect with us on Twitter for more information!

Timeshares in Florida often have promotional vacation offers, in which customers are asked to give some time and attention to a presentation and introductory sales tour, in exchange for certain incentives. These promotional packages vary, and can be found on various vacation portals, such as Best Vacations Ever. But are they worth your time? Yes they are, and here are some reasons why:

• Complimentary Accommodations: Many promotional packages offer free lodging at the same resort to which they are selling timeshares, or one that is comparable. Often these resorts are high quality, and offer more amenities than the average hotel, so a free or even discounted stay is a great value.
• Tickets to Attractions: With prices for theme park tickets rising ever higher, a promotion that offers those tickets in exchange for a presentation is a fantastic deal. Considering that the cost for two basic tickets to Disney World is currently $170, it is definitely something worth 90 minutes of your time!
• Other incentives: Many other gifts may be presented to you in return for your participation, including vouchers for meals, golfing, or shows, and sometimes even gift cards with cash value.

There is not much hardship to a timeshare or vacation club presentation. You are asked for approximately 90 minutes of your time, during which you may be given breakfast or other refreshments. In many cases, secure childcare is provided so that parents can tour the facility without distraction. The presentation may include a physical tour, or, in some cases, a virtual tour.

After the introductory sales tour, participants are asked questions about their vacation preferences and habits, and are asked to complete a brief survey. Once that is completed, the obligation is over, and guests are free to enjoy the rest of their vacation time! If you are interested in learning more, please visit Best Vacations Ever, or connect with us through Twitter or Facebook. You may be on your way to the vacation of your dreams!

Few activities can beat summer fun in the Florida sun.  However, overexposure to the sun’s UV rays can be dangerous to your health.  Too much UVA and UVB ray exposure leads to painfully pealing sunburns in the short-term along with wrinkles, age spots, and even possibly cancer in the long-term.  Here are some easy sun safety tips to implement during family fun vacations in Florida.

Wear Sunscreen

While you may be tempted to forego the sunscreen and come home with tropically dark skin, the long-term effects simply aren’t worth it.  Protect yourself and every member of your family with a healthy coating of 30 SPF or higher sun screen.  Every hour or two, reapply you and your children’s sunscreen, especially when swimming is involved.

Take an Umbrella to the Beach

Not only will you feel cooler in the shade of the umbrella, but you will also be protected from the harsh rays of the sun.  Spread out a beach towel and a good book, and watch the kids have fun playing their games on the beach—while wearing sunscreen, of course.

Rest in the Shade

When you are enjoying other activities aside from the beach, be sure to take breaks in the shade to cool off and prevent sun damage to your skin.  You should still be wearing sunscreen, but breaks in the shade will help you cool off as well as keeping you out of the sun.

Wear Sunglasses, a Hat, and Lip Balm

Your eyes can be damaged by the sun’s rays, so wearing sunglasses that offer 99%-100% UV ray protection is a great way to keep your eyesight protected despite long hours outside.  A hat will protect your scalp and much of the sensitive skin on your face from becoming overexposed to the sun.  Sunburned lips are no fun, so carry lip balm in your pocket that has at least 15 SPF.

Be sure you utilize all these tips for yourself and your children, since young skin requires extra protection from the sun.  After all, a blistering sunburn or two before the age of 18 has a dramatic impact on the child’s chances of developing skin cancer later in life.  These simple tips will ensure you and your family’s safety as you spend time at one of the best timeshares in Florida this year as a family.
