CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) SYSTEM TERMS OF USE
1. Background.
- (a) A Customer Relations Management System ("CRM") collects profile data and deposits it in a single database.

Using a single, measurable view of our guest, we will progress three principal business goals:
- (i) Better recognize and acknowledge our guests before, during and after their stays, so personalized and elevated service can be delivered.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Camp Margaritaville Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly define the term 'Information System.' However, it does refer to a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and outlines various technology-related requirements and systems that franchisees must use.
The FDD describes a Customer Relations Management System ("CRM") that collects profile data and deposits it in a single database to share guest profile information. This system aims to enhance guest recognition, standardize purchasing habit profiles, and establish a data baseline for the Margaritaville Brand Affinity and Perks program. The CRM's functions include individual brand-value rankings, data sharing compliance, real-time guest booking information, automated communications, upselling campaigns, and data quality monitoring.
Additionally, franchisees must comply with the franchisor's mandatory marketing, reservation service, website/CMS platform and analytics, and social media platforms. They are also required to use an approved Property Management System (PMS) that interfaces with the central reservation system and a financial reporting software to transmit real-time data to the franchisor. These systems and requirements suggest a comprehensive technology infrastructure that Camp Margaritaville franchisees must integrate into their operations.
To fully understand the scope and requirements of the 'Information System,' prospective franchisees should ask the franchisor for a detailed list of all required software, hardware, and technology platforms, as well as the costs associated with implementation, maintenance, and upgrades. Understanding the full scope of these technology requirements is essential for budgeting and operational planning.
