Article Abstract:
Tenaya Lodge, a resort located two miles outside of California's Yosemite National Park, was able to attract business when the park was closed from Nov 1995 to Jan 1996 due to a federal budget impasse. The resort used software developed by DataDesigns to consolidate customer information. The lodge was able to determine where its customers originate and for what reasons their customers visit. Such information enabled the resort to tailor their marketing efforts to their main markets in California.

Article Abstract:
Marketers targeting ethnic markets should be aware that these markets are different from the US market. In addition, ethnic markets within the US are also different. Marketers should never assume that what works in the general market will work for ethnic markets. Target marketing in ethnic markets involves researching the sensitivities of a particular ethnic market by studying the customs, language and tastes of the group.
