Your Own Customized and Branded Version of AshevilleBliss.com Added to Your Existing Website Will Enable Your Prospective Guests and Clients to Discover the Bliss of Asheville without Any Work on Your Part... and Without Your Promoting a Single Competitor or Having a Single Broken Link. Plus Your Newly-Enlarged Website Will Help Make Your Business Look Amazingly Professional and HUGE!We know how important it is for the owners of Bed and Breakfasts, Inns, rental cottages, lodges, etc., (as well as Relocaton Companies, and Corporate Recruiters) to let their prospective guests and clients know just how wonderful the quality of life in the Asheville area is... as well as to give them an easy way to do a 'virtual tour' of the many 100's of fascinating attractions and 'things to do' this area offers. Some innkeepers address this by adding a "What to See and Do While You're in Asheville" list of links to their inn's website... links which usually include one or more of the usual "Chamber of Commerce" type sites. There are several problems with this approach:
We are offering innkeepers (and other appropriate businesses) an easy, inexpensive way to have their own customized and branded version of AshevilleBliss.com integrated with their existing or new website -- to provide their prospects with an automatically-updated and COMPLETE look at the entire amazing picture of just how wonderful a community they will be visiting or living in -- without DIRECTLY promoting a single competitor in the process! We can CUSTOMIZE AshevilleBliss.com to suit your particular tastes and style while completely eliminating all competition. You can choose any or all of the various categories and webpages in AshevilleBliss.com (or even ask us to create a special category for you), and in the process, provide YOUR unique take on what's wonderful about Asheville while TOTALLY ELIMINATING DIRECT LINKS TO YOUR COMPETION. There will not be a single ad for or mention of, for example, another hotel, B&B or inn anywhere in your customized version which will be SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED into your existing website (or into a new website which our professional designers can create for you.). SURPASS the information provided by your competition... even the largest chains. Suddenly, you're not only 'playing with the big boys', but surpassing them in providing your prospects with the exact information they need in order to make an EDUCATED DECISION ... in a way that makes YOU look very professional. Replace a "Links" Page that is Either Non-Existant or Difficult to Keep Updated with a Professionally-Designed 50+ page Website that is Automatically Updated Daily With More Ways to Enjoy and Love Asheville... While ELIMINATING ALL of Your Competitors! Until now, your only choice was to create a "links page" that linked to many other websites, knowing that every day there was a chance that one or more of those websites would disappear. Even worse, some of the BEST websites which featured the many wonderful aspects of Asheville ALSO had direct links to dozens of your competition! Furthermore, anyone who has ever attempted to create and maintain any type of "do-it-yourself'" links page knows just how time-consuming, incomplete and hard-to-keep-current a solution THAT can be! When you ADD your own customized and branded version of AshevilleBliss.com to YOUR website, not only will it have YOUR website's name and appearance without a single direct mention of your competition, you can be assured that our AUTOMATIC daily updates to eliminate non-existent websites and to add new interesting websites will be providing your prospects up-to-the-minute information about the greater Asheville and Western North Carolina area without the annoyance of broken links from websites that have suddenly disappeared. When you choose the AshevilleBliss.com's customized and branded solution, not only will have the same appearance as your primary website, but you can choose from a variety of packages to suite your budget and needs -- both with and without advertising. In order to provide daily updates and maintainence, all solutions required monthly hosting on our servers. The rate depends a number of factors including the number of pages, advertising or without. We have solutions to fit virtually every budget. In some cases, because you are eliminating your existing webhosting, it may not cost you anything extra at all! If you need a website designed or overhauled, we can quote you on that too. To find out just how economical your own customized and branded version of AshevilleBliss.com can be, please email us with your business name and current website if you have one, your phone number and best time to call. Click on each of the dozens of categories to the left to uncover what makes the Asheville area so vital, so intriguing and so, well, UTTERLY BLISSFUL!
From Rolf Potts' Vagabonding blog: I've never been one of those uptight literary types who thinks that you have to have actually read a book in order to recommend it to others. So I feel no trepidation in suggesting Eric Weiner's new travelogue-slash-memoir The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is. Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Singapore benefit psychologically by having their options limited by the government? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? With engaging wit and surprising insights, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions. In the imaginary Netflix queue of books-that-I'm-planning-to-read, this one has just jumped to the top. By the way, why has no one started a Netflix for books? This question, and many more, I'll leave for another day.
