Offering an Endless Summer Pass – an unlimited pool pass for the month of September – is a great way to increase repeat visitors to your pool during shoulder months that have lower demand and boost food and beverage sales as a result. To manage this strategy effectively, you’ll need to ensure your staff is property trained to welcome these guests, and have a clear, simple system to track your passholders.
Here are some easy tips to follow to make this strategy a success.
Train Your Front Desk Team
Make sure your front desk staff understands what the monthly pass includes and how to handle passholders. Proper training prevents confusion and ensures smooth check-ins for your guests.
Important things to be aware of:
Provide a Physical Pass
Give your monthly passholders a physical wristband or card they can show when they arrive. This makes it easy for your staff to quickly identify legitimate passholders.
Keep Passholder Lists at the Front Desk
Always have an updated list of your monthly pass members available at your front desk for quick reference.
Print Your Monthly Pass List
To generate your member list:
Clearly Communicate around Unexpected Closures
If areas included in the monthly pass need to close unexpectedly (pool maintenance, restaurant closures, etc.), communicate in a timely manner to ResortPass so that the Endless Summer passholders have appropriate expectations.
This ensures proper communication with your passholders and helps maintain good relationships despite temporary inconveniences.
