Orlandovacationhotels.com Rolls Out a New Look

After months of planning, Orlandovacation.com is rolling out its new website.

“It has taken far longer than we ever expected,” said Mollie Claire Duling. “We tried something a little different, and we hope it works. We worked with a local community college, their graphic arts division, and let them come up with the look and feel of the website. We are hoping it is a success.”

It is well know that the look of a website only contributes to half of website’s success, a profitable site must also offer great deals. Well, Orlandovacationhotels.com does exactly that! They have partnered with the Brand New Holiday Inn near Disney World, which just opened in October of this year. They are selling the rooms at $59! This is by far the best deal in Orlando on this property. Mollie said, “We are able to offer these rooms so inexpensive as compared to our competitors, because we also sell theme park tickets. The only catch is that in order to get the introductory rate the guest must purchase at least one theme park ticket. We don’t think this is a big deal at all since this hotel primarily caters to guest going to the local theme parks.”... (Continue reading)

Keep a Cool Head When Markets Get Volatile: Financial Advisor Offers Three Tips to Help Investors Deal with Stock Market Conditions

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 - As any investor knows, investing in the stock market over the past year has been like riding a roller coaster - with some gut-wrenching drops like the Dow's 326-point slide in late January 2008 followed by highs, like the 298-point rise the same day. That roller coaster ride has tested even the most stoic of investors, but those with a professionally prepared, long-term financial plan most likely have fared better than most do-it-yourself investors.

According to Arthur Cooper, an independent financial professional based in Irvine, investors should continue to ride the stock market. "I advise my clients to remember that their investments should be long term," says Cooper. "The volatility in the market and specifically the nail-biting lows being experienced are temporary. In these times it's difficult for investors to remember that wealth is built not by timing the market, but time in the market."... (Continue reading)
