 Dear Advertisers,
Post your FALL Packages Now!
Now is a good time to review and edit your Getaway Gallery. Have your rates changed? Do you have a new photo you can post? etc. In addition to events posted on our calendar, our users are alerted every time a new package is posted to your Getaway Gallery through our RSS Feed! We hope this gives all of you more incentive to take advantage of the 3 package slots you are afforded. Keep in mind each advertiser will only be added to the feed 5x max per month, no matter how many times the package details are edited.
  What are RSS and Blogs? Add a FREE RSS Feed to your own site! For a tutorial, CLICK HERE. Need a feed reader? CLICK HERE!

| New York Times Travel Show | 
As many of you know, we will be doing the New York Times Travel Show again this year February 29 - March 2, 2008. They have approached us about doing an EscapeMaker.com 60x60 Pavilion of different weekend getaway destinations.
Although we distribute your brochures as a value added service to active advertisers, nothing substitutes for live representative from your destination and now by joining with us, it's more affordable!
** If you have exhibited with them before YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE to participate with us!**
| SPECIAL OFFER- SAVE OVER 50%
Normally your own 10x10 booth would cost $3250.00
but by joining in EscapeMaker's Pavillion
you SAVE Over 50%!
$1500.00 Exhibiting Fee includes:
- Table to accommodate 2 Chairs
(2 reps may attend per exhibitor)
Plus All Signage
...and the best part?
You take dual ownership of the opt-in leads

We are still gearing up for a Fall Re-Launch! While we re-tool we are adding live improvements to the existing site.
To protect your emails from SPAMMERS we have recently instituted an email form so users can contact you. The subject line of the email you receive will read: "Question from an EscapeMaker.com User."
Be sure to add the email address - comments@escapemaker.com to your ALLOW list!
We are in the process of developing a library of webcams and PDF brochures. This helps in SEO efforts for both you and us! If you'd like to post your PDF brochure on our site and/or have your webcam included in our special sections at no charge please EMAIL US with the file and or/link!
Interested in educating your association or your members about E-Marketing? Please EMAIL US about our seminars or call Caylin at 718-398-5766.
