Surf Suites and Marketing a Home Run with Local Community
The local community is showing its support for the Atlantic City Surf more than ever before, as the upcoming 2006 season has seen more sales of season suites and marketing than during any previous season. Helping to make this season's marketing effort a success has been the Surf's new Suite Special, allowing fans to select 10 Castle Suite Nights - fireworks nights included - for only $3,000. With new ownership in place for the 2006 season, marketing partners have been eager to ride the wave of change that is sweeping the Sandcastle and bringing new and exciting things to the Surf.
