FGSM (Free Gifts St. Maarten) was created to enhance the traveler’s St. Maarten/ St. Martin vacation experience while at the same time promoting the island’s local businesses. It also represents an entirely new concept and certainly the bold new future of resort timeshare marketing.

Conceived by the TMP Team, FGSM offers travelers the opportunity to select gifts online, i.e. free restaurants, auto rentals, activities, gambling, in return for their short attendance at a resort promotional presentation.
As this resort presentation and the gifts involved allow the traveler the opportunity to pre-book online, well before arrival, it both facilitates the travelers vacation schedule while at the same, resolving resorts marketing efforts in an extremely and increasingly competetive environment.

In monitoring the public’s reaction to FGSM, it was found that not only was it well accepted, but that some of the traditional “icons” of online marketing such as Google, Yahoo, etc., having not been brought into play, proved unnecessary for its success. In a remarkably short period of time, FGSM was receiving up to 20,000 unique hits per day with no Google or Yahoo promotion whatsoever.

The FGSM site has recently been adjusted into a much simpler format, offering the visitor an easy, 3 click process between gift selection and issuance of online confirmation and printed invitation. Future markets for this unique type of online marketing are literally worldwide and TMP is proud to be the innovator.
