Happy Camper RV Club Doubles Membership, Surprises Customers with Freebies, Creates a Unique Environment Online for RV Travelers
Monroe, LA (ContentDesk) May 5, 2006 -- Happy Camper RV Club is well-known throughout the camping industry as a half-price discount rv club.
With over 1,000 campground and RV park locations in the US and Canada, the club has doubled membership in the last two years by giving "more than what is promised" to its members, and creating a web site that gives RVers a fun environment online for trip planning and learning.Club president, Anne Pierson, describes the secret to the club's success by stating, "We always give more than we promise, and our members love the extra bonuses we create to serve them - above and beyond our promise of saving 50% on camping.
Members never know when they will get an email from us with a fun "freebie" they can request by mail, or an interesting addition to our web site."Our goal is to surprise and delight our visitors and members with added value wherever we find it.
As an example, our friends at RV Education 101 gave us a generous gift to share.
They provided a free RV Checklists Ebook to us for new members, and the feedback on the ebook has been pure excitement.
New members can't believe it when they get a welcome letter from us with this bonus, because we don't even advertise it."Mark Polk of RV Education explains, "If we don't write down what we need to remember, inevitably we forget something. This can be especially true with RVs because there are just too many things to remember. You will want to protect your investment in a routine and safe manner."In this 80 page e-book, there are over 35 checklists applicable for pop-ups, travel trailers, fifth wheels and motorhomes, to use from the time you purchase your RV until you store it for winter and everything in between.
It includes checklists for Pre-delivery Inspections, Basic Inventory, Tools & Supplies, Getting There Safely, Campground Set-up, Pre-Trip, Home Security, Dinghy Towing, Essential Items, Nice to Have Items, Traveling with Pets, Awning Operation, Winterizing & De-winterizing your RV, Storing your RV, Battery Testing Chart, Spring Prep, and much more.
"We were so excited," says Karen Oschler, a new Happy Camper member.
"We joined Happy Camper because they were so highly recommended by our friends who are members.
As soon as we joined, they sent us RV Ed's Checklists e-book, which I wasn't even expecting.
As a "newbie," I have so much to learn about camping in a recreational vehicle... that ebook was on my list of things to buy - and I got it as a gift!"In addition to periodic bonus features, the club's fundamental services focus on providing a detailed camping guide, listing each participating rv park and its amenities, pricing and details.
The club membership card gives RVers half off the regular rates at quality nationwide campground locations, and the web site provides a chat forum for sharing information, a free trip planner for RV trip routing, tips and advice, RV news articles, a Camp Store, and personal features for those who register as users at the site (membership not required)."Over 2,000 visitors a day access our web site," states Pierson.
"It's full of so much information for RVers; our members return again and again, and non-members are able to learn, become familiar with our services, and join in the discussions.
We give non-members full access, because the RV community is about sharing information.
Non-members who use our site are able to hear about our 50% discount benefits first-hand from other members, and they're the best salespeople we have."Happy Camper projects that it will double membership again in 2006, and invites potential members to visit the web site to learn more.
A free "Camping Tips" ebook, and other hidden "freebies" are available at the web site for all RV travelers.http://www.camphalfprice.com866-677-6453318-343-8608campers @ camphalfprice.com.

Tax Strategy - Let Washington Pay for Your Corvette, Porsche, or Air Plane
Deducting Your Auto Expenses In this lesson we will cover another popular subject, automobile deductions. There is so much information to cover; we'll break auto deductions down into two separate newsletters. As you read on, keep in mind that these newsletters are not written as a technical treatise. They are designed as an educational reference, to give readers a "nuts and bots" understanding of some of the significant issues surrounding the topic and to encourage them to consult with their legal and tax professionals for advise concerning their own situation. Overview: Auto deductions are a very complex topic.
So, to clarify, we are not going to attempt to cover all of the intricacies of the subject. Instead, we will cover some of the most-used provisions and provide you with a better understanding of some of the associated issues. In keeping with one of our primary strategies, what we are interested in doing with our automobiles is to convert as much of their use as possible...

Little ipod wonders
It is no wonder that ipods are getting fun poked at them by movies this year. It seems as if the ipod is taking over the world. Everywhere you go you see them, they are attached to adults and children alike and they are all over the television and in the movies, it is getting a little insane. But it is not as if there is not good reason for such devotion to this wonderful little device. It might just be the coolest thing ever created!
Not only is an ipod functional and practical, it is cute too.
There are basically three different shapes and sizes of ipod to choose from. You have the skinny little ipod shuffle, then the slightly larger but even thinner nano and the ever popular regular ipod that can actually play all of your favorite TV shows as well as your favorite songs. How is it possible?
It is all possible due to Macintosh technology, they obviously have the greatest engineers and inventors in the world working for them. I mean seriously, none...

PDA & Handheld Computers buying guide

The PDA is designed to make a busy life easier by providing sensible connections to all the information you need, have it at your fingertips when you need it, and transport it to other systems. Once 'organised' with your PDA, you will have all of your contact phone numbers, be collecting your emails, process your business orders, display your photographs and relax to your mp3 library. Many PDAs also act as a digital recorder and have windows based compatibility for word processing and spreadsheet financial calculations.

The Advantages of Using Disposable Hearing Aids
Disposable hearing aids are designed for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. These are often ideal for people who have only just begun to lose their hearing. Disposable hearing aids offer the same quality and features as traditional hearing aids with the possibility to save money in the process.
Disposable hearing aids function like other hearing enhancement products. They have a small, soft mushroom-like cap that fits inside of the ear canal.
They are usually worn for anywhere between thirty and forty days until the battery expires and they are discarded. Disposable hearing aids are only available by prescription and you should speak with your audiologist to see if they would be right for you.
Consumers who have used disposable hearing aids often comment on the many benefits that you cannot get with traditional models. Firstly, the disposable models are available immediately after the hearing examination that eliminates the traditional waiting...

Internet Survey Finds Strong Interest in French "Air Car"
As oil prices spike and then plunge between $40-50 a barrel, and gasoline prices in the United States continue to hover near the $2 a gallon mark, consumers are taking a serious look at alternatives that range from buying gasoline-electric hybrid cars at a production-straining pace to relocating closer to urban centers.
One of those options that may someday soon become available in North America is the MDI "Air Car", a six passenger, multi-use commuter vehicle being developed in France that runs entirely on compressed air (www.theaircar.com). Designed for use as a family car, mini-delivery van and taxi, the Air Car has an estimated range of 200-300 km (124-186 miles) on a charge of compressed air. It has a top speed of 110k/hr (68 mph) and takes approximately 4 hours for the compressed air tank to be recharged. Offering range and performance comparable to the current generation of battery electric cars powered...
