View not passing data to the controller on submission of form - asp.net-mvc-5

Question

When I use ViewModel in Create action the data traveled from view to controller but when I use Customer class instead of ViewModel my obj receive no data.
My Customer Model:
public class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsSubscribedToNewsletter { get; set; }
public MembershipType MembershipTypes { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Membership Type")]
public byte MembershiptypeId { get; set; }
public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
}
My MembershipType Model:
public class MembershipType
{
public byte Id { get; set; }
public short SignUpFee { get; set; }
public byte DurationInMonths { get; set; }
public byte DiscountRate { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
My ViewModel:
public class CustomerViewModel
{
public IEnumerable<MembershipType> MembershipTypes { get; set; }
public Customer Customerss { get; set; }
}
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Customer c)
{
return View();
}
View:
#using (#Html.BeginForm("Create", "Customers"))
{ <div class= "form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m=> m.Customerss.Name )
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Customerss.Name, new {#class = "form-control"
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m=>m.Customerss.IsSubscribedToNewsletter ) Subscribed To NewsLetter
</label>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Customerss.MembershiptypeId )
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Customerss.MembershiptypeId ,new SelectList(Model.MembershipTypes ,"Id","Name"),"Select Membership Type", new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Customerss.Id)
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"> Save </button>}
