at www.BestofCayman.com
(PRWEB) June 13, 2006 -- The Internet is inarguably
the world's greatest source of information. How
did we ever survive without it? With the touch
of a few keys we can discover new countries, buy
airline tickets and look into the history of the
red letter box. It is also a marvelous trove of
opinions and ratings submitted by people who have
been-there-done-that and are willing to share
their recommendations with others. The new website
BestofCayman.com
launched by owner Carrie Layne, whose Internet
marketing background includes a stint with popular
citysearch.com, mall.com, and hoovers.com is geared
towards helping potential visitors discover the
Grand Cayman Islands through the eyes of those
who have stayed here before and wish to pass on
their knowledge.
Carrie graduated from the University of Texas
with a degree in Internet Advertising and Marketing
and went on to work at Saatchi and Saatchi in
its Internet Division bringing clients like HP,
Proctor and Gamble, and Barclays from traditional
media to the web.
To
say that Carrie has energy and ideas is like saying
that David Beckham is half-decent at chucking
a ball around. This well-designed, professional
site already boasts thousands of international
subscribers, proving that it has certainly filled
a need that existed for some time. You'll discover
a list of best restaurants, best bars and nighlife,
best hotels and resorts, best duty free shopping,
best real estate, best spas, best weddings.a number
of relevant categories where people can vote for
what they consider to be their favourite. All
of these votes will culminate in an annual awards
ceremony where local hotspots are honoured for
exceptional service in their category. This year's
event will be held on June 27th at the new club
District 6 in the Strand Shopping Centre on West
Bay Road. Attendees will receive the red carpet
treatment and experience the life of a VIP for
one night. How do you ensure that your choice
is in the running? Subscribe to bestofcayman.com
and cast your vote between June 5th and June 23rd.
So
how did Carrie get into the idea of providing
such a website? One has only to look at the trends
over the last decade to see that more and more
travelers rely on the internet for all their information
and booking requirements. As time passes, so the
generation with disposable income will be the
one that has never known life without the web.
Bestofcayman.com allows consumers and visitors
to learn about your business, before they even
set foot on the island. It gives you an obvious
advantage, reaching customers prior to their vacation.
Locals and residents can provide votes and reviews
about the places they like to frequent, and it
allows business owners to obtain valuable feedback
from their patrons.
Of
course there are certain regulations in place
to ensure that biased views and votes are not
included which could skew statistics, and advertisers
can access their listings day or night to make
any appropriate changes necessary. One of BestofCayman.com's
most important boasts is that they have a very
high profile on the top search engines, Google,
Yahoo, Ask.com, MSN, and several others with a
sponsored link that stands out. Anyone will tell
you that being easily found on top search engines
is the key to a successful website.
BestofCayman.com
is ideal for all advertisers, but particularly
those without their own websites. It enables them
to post photographs and information about their
establishments for a fraction of the cost of advertising
elsewhere whilst reaching people globally. Streaming
video will be offered allowing even more flexibility
and more dynamic advertising options, creating
an eye-catching promotion for all companies. The
website is very user-friendly with a number of
recognizable links:
Restaurants,
Bars
and Nightlife, Hotels
and Resorts, Shopping,
Spa
and Beauty, Things
to Do, Real
Estate, Wedding,
and Cayman Sister Islands.
There
is also information about weather, maps a forum
and other important tips for anyone considering
visiting the Cayman Islands. The forum allows
for frank and open discussions between subscribers
who may have specific questions not covered in
the site's general topics.
This
is a very impressive and handy tool and it's high
time we had something like this specifically geared
towards Cayman. I'm clearly not the only one who
thinks so -- not only are there thousands of users
already linked in; there are also a good number
of advertisers who obviously agree. It helps businesses
ensure that they are offering the best product
they can to their consumers, and they will be
rewarded for their efforts by taking home an award
that has been voted for by those customers.
Tickets
for the award ceremony will be limited and offered
first to clients. They will then be sold to the
public for CI$50.00 per couple which is a very
reasonable price when you consider the VIP night
you'll be enjoying.
So
log on to BestofCayman.com today, sign up as a
registered user, and start voting for your favourite
places to visit on the island. Make your choice
a winner, then go along to the awards night and
support them whilst having a great time yourself.
