MMI Hospitality Chooses ZDirect’s eCRM Platform for it’s crown jewel,
The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort

St. Simons Island, GA, February 15, 2011 – The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort has commenced the implementation of the ZDirect eCRM platform (Electronic Customer Relationship Management), ZMail.

Mr. Bud St. Pierre, Director of Sales & Marketing, states “We chose ZDirect because their product interfaces with our property management system (hit enter and email letters get sent) and they have an outstanding product.  This will be a significant upgrade from our current system of text-only confirmation letters.  The Resort and Hotel industry is moving this direction and we feel ZDirect is a market leader/innovator for these products”.

Caren de’Ath, Director of Sales at ZDirect, states, “We are very excited about our new partnership with MMI Hospitality.  We are pleased that ZMail, a 21st century electronic communications tool, will enhance the reservations communication process for The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort.  ZDirect, as an Email Service Provider, offers the hospitality industry an integrated eCRM, PMS, and Email Service platform that can provide The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort enhanced guest service and revenues”.

About The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort:
If walls could talk, The King and Prince, (on the National Register of Historic Places and a member of Historic Hotels of America), would share a rich legacy of its place in American history for 76 years. Maintaining a reputation for elegance and warm hospitality throughout each decade, the Resort has been a tranquil island haven for dignitaries, celebrities, discerning families and business travelers since pre WW II until today.  The Knot 2010, a magazine guide to the country’s top wedding-related venues, chose the historic King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort as one of their recognized ’10 Most Talked-About Wedding Venues’ in Georgia, 2010.

The award-winning golf course lures all levels of golfers to the northern tip of St. Simons Island.  To celebrate the Resort’s 75th anniversary, what has been called the east coast’s ‘best marsh front’ course, is finally re-opened after a $3.6 million transformation.
