NAQs & FAQs

NAQs & FAQs

( the most important question you should ask me)

FAQs = Frequently asked questions

I get lots of those, but, almost all of them are only important to you only after you have decided upon your destination, such as:

• How do I get there
• What should I bring
• What will the weather be like
• How do you process the fish

For every potential customer there may also be some FAQs that are crucial before deciding, such as:

• Cost
• Best time to visit our resorts (weather, fishing results)
• Availability
• Expertise of staff, guides, fishmasters

and I’m always happy to address those “deal breaker” concerns.

But those considerations aside, I know that what you really want to know is the

NAQ – “The NEVER asked question”,

“ why should I spend my hard earned dollars to book a vacation with you?”

It amazes me that in 14 years I’ve never been asked this question since it’s the main question I try to answer. As a matter of fact, I think I will offer a reward to the first person who asks me this question.

And the answer is - I can’t answer that question until I know you better, know what you’re looking for – and then I can help you decide if one of our OBMG resorts will provide the experience that you want.

So that’s when I need you to answer MY FAQ’s :

• How many in your party?
• How flexible is your vacation time?
• Do you want guided or non guided fishing?
• Do you want other activities than fishing?
• What’s your budget?
• what sort of vacation are you looking for?

If I do my job in finding out what you want , then I promise you that I can recommend:

• the best resort
• customize it to suit your needs
• and most importantly, can fulfill my promise to all my clients “ I can help you make your fishing & vacation dreams come true”.

More than 50% of my business every year is from repeat customers, many of whom come yearly. I work hard to develep an honest relationship – I don’t make promises I can’t keep. So I think more than anything else, that is the answer to the NAQ – You can confidently decide to book with me, because I won’t book your vacation with OBMG unless I think it will indeed fulfill your expectations (and then some)

Cheers, Maggie

Beat the taxman - save 7% on your next vacation

It's tax time. You and your accountant are preparing your return and trying to find ways to save you money.

Do you know that the BC Government is about to implement a new "harmonized" sales tax?

Your 2010 fishing trip or holiday adventure with Oak Bay Marine Group is about to cost you 7% more because of this new tax. (I guess someone has to pay for the recent Olympics!)

But..... You can beat this tax .... and save 7% on this summer's vacation - if you confirm this summer's vacation BEFORE May 01st.

So, if you've been thinking of your summer holidays, and thinking you'll wait a while to make your plans .... Please.....don't wait. Come May, I'm going to have to become the tax collector, and charge you the added 7%. Believe you me, I'm not the least bit thrilled at the prospect. I love to sell fishing and holiday trips, and it's what I chose to do, and what I get paid to do. I did not chose to be a tax collector, and the BC government most certainly won't be paying me to do their job; but I will be spending a considerable amount of my time, and you will be spending a considerable amount of your money, to fund this new tax.

So, I would love to see us beat the taxman on this.

Call me, email me, post your comments......but if you're planning to travel in BC this summer....if you're thinking of a trip to one of our Oak Bay Marine Group Resorts......get it booked NOW, and save the added tax.
