YouTube Florida Mancation -- Consumers Shifting Online
Jupiter, FL (PRWEB) May 8, 2007 -- A Mancation is defined as a group of guys getting away for a weekend of fun. For Toby Brown, a St. Louis area native, a Mancation is defined by seeing his world champion St. Louis Cardinals play baseball. The Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa recently catered to this niche market and made it an experience worthy of champions. The "Florida Mancation" highlights an industry shift where consumers are going online and marketers are following them.
The Cardinal's play Spring baseball in Jupiter, FL. Mr. Brown did some research online to find the best resorts in the area. Based on this information, he called Jeff Castner the General Manager of the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa and stated his intention to get down to the Florida sunshine for a guy's weekend.
Mr. Castner made it a memorable experience for his guest by providing the guys field access for batting practice to see the Cardinal's, a luxury suite on top of the resort to play poker, a chartered fishing trip and much more. Toby brought his video camera and the two agreed to produce the first "Florida Mancation" video for YouTube.
"I am interacting with more and more guest that research our product online, so it made natural sense to try and reach out to this audience", Castner stated.
More and more consumers are going online to book their travel.
