Advertisersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advantage: Advertorials

ad路ver路to路ri路al

n. An advertisement promoting the interests or opinions of a corporate sponsor, often presented in such a way as to resemble an editorial. Note: This article was excerpted from Direct Response Advertising Made Easy, which is available from EntrepreneurPress.com.

There comes a time when all small businesses must pay for their publicity. They've exhausted their use of the press release. They've used up all of their feature story ideas. They've depleted their finances for direct-mail packages. Now they're left with one final marketing tool to generate hot leads and push their profits to the next level. It's advertising. When you reach that point, it's not the time to think fancy. It's time to think response. Instead of the typical ads that you see in most publications--newspapers and magazines--think advertorial, the kind of ad that actually looks like a real news story or other editorial matter.

ads showed that an ad that looked like a magazine article pulled 81 percent more orders than the identical copy, set in ad-style. Incredible, isn't it? Copywriter Joe Vitale observed that "readers are up to 500 times more likely to read an advertorial than a straight ad." Results like that would compel me to at least try the advertorial. Although much has been said about advertising in print media, it goes without saying that most of the concepts provided here will also apply to the Internet.

frustration, by the time you get around to the sales copy, you're their friend and advocate instead of a salesman trying to get them to sign the dotted line. A Good Example When was the last time you saw a good advertorial written for a small business? In my own case, I see few on the local level but dozens on the national level that appear primarily in business opportunity magazines.

However, there was one I saw a while back that caught my eye. It was for a nonprofit organization, Food For The Poor of Deerfield Beach, Fla. The advertorial For instance, veteran copywriter appeared as a full-page ad in Clayton Makepeace has been Christianity Today (December Advertorials generally have a good extremely successful in writing 2000). While I don't know the track record. They are to print advertorials for the Internet. In results of its response, I'm willing what Infomercials are to TV. They an interview published in his to bet that it was a good one. may be corny to the uninformed newsletter, The Total Package but, like the TV informercials, they (May 23, 2006), he surmised You see, the ad looks and feel work just the same. that effectiveness on the web like the other articles appearing in was because people are used to that magazine. It has two strong A Tip from Reader's Digest receiving free information on the headlines, a byline, three photos, In his classic advertising primer web. He explained: and a NO logo. And that's the Tested Advertising Methods, secret. To look like an article, your John Caples rightfully noted If you begin a promotion that advertorial must be of a size that's that editorial-style ads get high says, 'Hey, here's my product.

Landscaping for Curb Appeal ignored a lot, is that -- far and away -- the most enormous thing in the garden is your house,” says Leslie Land, author of The New York Times 1,000 Gardening Questions & Answers and blogger at leslieland.com. “You have this enormous design limitation, and you need to design for curb appeal based on the size and shape of your house and how it relates to the street.”

Nearly every homeowner wants to landscape for curb appeal. Maximizing your yard’s attributes and minimizing its problems to create a beautiful streetside view doesn’t have to be difficult, daunting, or expensive. No matter your style or plant preferences, here are eight ideas to transform your front yard into a beautiful, attractive space. Consider the house. Lots of people look at the size of the lawn or the shape and slope of the front yard, but many people forget a critical consideration in landscaping for curb appeal. “Rule No. 1, and the one that I see

Work with masses and shapes to create a landscape for curb appeal. A corollary to recognizing the size of the house is massing and shape, Land says. “If your house is big and you want to plant lots of little pretty flowers, they don’t read from the street,” she says. Instead, use plants and repetition -midsize shrubs to line a path, for example, or a row of shrubs -- that are inspired by and complement the shape and size of the house. “People won’t see individual flowers driving by,” Land says. They will see the impact of a plant grouping that reflects the shape and lines of the house and walkways. Use secondary hardscape elements to

help design a landscape for curb appeal. A deep sidewalk, for example, offers an opportunity for a wider flowerbed as accent. A bench provides a place for a gathering of shrubs and perennials. Think about what’s there (or what could be added) and how to spotlight it. Keep it low-maintenance. Even if you love gardening and all its associated tasks, if you one day plan to sell your house, an elaborate garden can be considered a negative by a potential buyer. “Things that require a lot of maintenance may appeal to you, but for curb appeal, people don’t want to imagine themselves spending hours deadheading,” Land says. Keep it clean: petunias that won’t litter petals everywhere, for example, and shrubs that don’t require a lot of tender loving care. “In beautiful landscapes you see in magazines, there isn’t a stray leaf or twig, but when you come home, things are different,” Land says. Forren Soil will provide the guidance you seek. Call them at 304-345-1007.

Light up your life with lighting options! The lighting you choose is just as important as your furniture, paint colours and accessories in helping to design and create a certain mood to any space within your home. Even the location of a light switch can make a difference in the interior design and flow of a room. There are many types of lights or lighting options that you can consider from simple to intricate, depending on your needs, tastes and budget.

Accent lighting helps to create a focal point or add visual interest to any space. Track lighting accentuates your favourite artwork, plant or sculpture. Pot lights on a dimmer or candles add instant ambience during a romantic dinner or date night. Table or floor lamps can be unique or antique and serve as an interest piece. Consider the purpose of a space when contemplating your lighting options and needs.

Natural lighting not only makes you feel good but can add warmth and sense of comfort to any room in your home. Natural lighting will help any space look brighter, feel bigger, reduce mold or mildew and it’s FREE! So open up those blinds or curtains and let the sunshine in.

Pot or track lights are a wonderful option for a living/great room. Consider putting these lights on a dimmer switch – very effective during movie night with the kids!! Bedrooms should contain general lighting as well as task lighting beside the bed. A child’s room can be equipped with night lighting for safety and added comfort. Bathroom lighting can be natural or equipped with artificial task lighting over the vanity/sink areas. Consider adding a pot light in the shower area for added light and ambience.

Ambient lighting or general lighting provide indirect lighting to any space and would include ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, flourescent, and track or pot lights. Task lighting is used for a specific purpose such as cooking, reading or doing homework. Under the cabinet lighting gives you extra lighting in the kitchen when preparing food or reading from a cookbook. A desk lamp or floor lamp can assist when writing or knitting and additional lighting is needed.

A chandelier is the perfect choice for a dining room. Be sure to instal with a dimmer switch so that the amount of light can be controlled. Lower lighting is generally recommended to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Outdoor lighting can include flood lights, motion sensor or lighting along a walkway for safety purposes. Softer lighting can be placed alongside a deck or fence to create an intimate mood when going for a night swim in your pool or a soak in the hot tub.

Too much light creates glare and physical discomfort and will make a room feel cold and stark. Too little light can be unsafe and make it difficult to see or perform tasks properly. Consider layering your lighting and giving yourself options depending on the time of day and activity. Contact the design experts at Goldfarb Electric for more information on lighting choices and the best options. Call 800-726-0467

Energy Savings with Energy Efficient Windows Since 80% of a window is made of glass, a substantial amount of heating and cooling savings come from improved glass performance. A combination of UV-filtering Low-E Glass (LG), insulating argon gas, and the Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer System creates significant energy efficiency. Together they can cut the damaging effects of the sun, which can lead to faded carpets, curtains, and furniture. In winter, a warmer glass temperature is maintained, increasing the R-value by an additional 104%. In summer, a 48% reduction in solar heat gain helps cut air conditioning costs. The result: your monthly utility bills will reflect savings year round - and that should help make you even more comfortable.

How does Low-E Glass (LG) work?

Low-E glass filters long-wave radiation from the sun. This reduces solar heat gain from the sun in the summer...keeping your home cooler. Low-E glass takes on a new duty in winter months. It lets warm solar rays into your home...while blocking the heat in your home from getting out.

holding the unit together takes the stress of this flexing and can cause seal failure and insulating gas loss. • In an Intercept™ LG. unit, the spacer flexes instead of the sealant, so it resists spacer movement and premature sealant failure.

How does the Intercept™ Spacer System work? • Its one-piece metal alloy, U-channel design creates an effective thermal barrier to help reduce conducted heat loss. • Its sealed one-piece design makes it stronger and better at retaining insulating gas than many conventional designs.

Thermagraphy dramatizes the difference. The window on the left is a clear insulated glass unit. The heat transmittance, indicated by the green, yellow and orange colors from the heat scale, is far more apparent than that of the window containing the Solarban® 60 Low-E insulated glass unit.

How do Intercept™ Spacers add to room comfort? • They keep the edges of the window glass warmer, so your home feels more comfortable in winter. • The temperature difference between the edge of an insulating glass unit with an ordinary spacer, and one with an Intercept™ spacer system can be dramatic. How do Intercept™ Spacers Help Windows to Last Longer? • LG units expand and contract with temperature changes. • In conventional insulating glass units, the sealant

Most Common Hardwood Myths 1. Wood floors should not be used in a kitchen. Kitchens are one of the most popular rooms in the house for hardwood floors. Built to withstand heavy traffic and give long lasting beauty with minimal maintenance, hardwood floors are a perfect choice.

Cupping is due to excess moisture or over drying and is considered jobsite related. Improper water maintenance, a plumbing leak, or moisture from the crawl space, basement, concrete slab or high/low-relative humidity can be the reasons.

2. Damp mopping is the best way to clean a wood floor. To the contrary, the best way to clean a floor is with a dry microfiber dust mop. Dust mops are great for everyday cleaning. A damp mop can be used for occasional cleaning, but too much regular use of water can dull a floor finish. When damp mopping water should not drip off the mop head, using too much water hence “wet mopping” can cause damage and discolor wood floors.

6. If my wood floor changes colors or fades, it is because the finish or wood is defective. No. Actually all wood floors can experience color shade change overtime. American cherry and many exotic species like Brazilian Cherry, Tiger wood, are photosensitive and will gain a richer, darker patina. Area rugs and large furniture that cover the floor should be moved periodically to allow exposure to UV light and air on the area. Eventually, the entire floor will reach the same even shading. There are no known values established for this natural condition, therefore, Manufactures do not warrant against these natural characteristics beyond its control.

3. Hardwood floors should not scratch or dent. Although Hardwood floors of all species are durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily life, top finishes and wood can still scratch or dent given enough applied pressure or resistance. Higher gloss will show more imperfections. Manufactures do not warrant against scratching and denting

7. I should be able to use every piece of wood I purchase. Realistically, wood is a product of nature not perfect. The industry allows a tolerance not to exceed 5% for defective boards, natural or manufacturer related, based on the total purchase. Some 8-10% for the exotics. If board width size seems to vary during installation, place boards of the same width size together in the same row.

4. High heel shoes will not damage a wood floor. High heels or spiked heels are damaging to hardwood flooring. They strike the floor with more force per inch than an elephant’s foot. High or spiked heels in disrepair are especially harmful, as the heel acts much like a tiny hammer pounding away at the floor with as much force as 10,000 pounds per inch!

8. If I find a defective board after the floor is installed, the manufacturer will replace or repair it. No. It is the responsibility of the installer/customer to inspect the floor to be installed and be selective in choosing each board in quality, grading, and natural color

5. When wood floors warp or cup, it is because the wood flooring is defective.

Traci N. Thomas Wells 304-610-6063 www.tracithomashomes.com

MLS 150927

variation before installing it. Once installed, the floorboards are deemed to be acceptable to both the installer and the end-user. If necessary, individual board replacements can be accomplished. 9. If my wood floor shows gaps between boards in the winter months, it is defective. Nearly every wood floor endures some separation in between boards. In winter, when homes are heated and the air is dry, wood flooring gives up some of its moisture and shrinks. When that happens, cracks appear between the boards. In the spring, when the heat is off and the indoor environment regains moisture, most gaps normally close. Wood boards become dormant with indoor humidity levels of 30-50%and temperatures of 60-80F. 10. Kitchen floor cleaner with vinegar, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners are the best products to use when cleaning my floor. Never use these kinds of cleaners, as they can dull and damage your hardwood floors and void warranties. Use products safe for urethane finishes. 11. It is best to keep the relative humidity low or dry in my home. The wood flooring industry recommends that you keep the environment at “normal living conditions”. That is a temperature from 60F to 80F and a relative humidity of 30% to 50% with a continuous flow of air across the floor. Contact Lumber Liquidators - Phone: (304) 759-8639

Surviving a Remodel Tips and Tricks for Making the Best of a Kitchen Remodel Think of a kitchen remodel the same way you would think about partaking in a weight loss program: no matter what anyone tells you, it’s not happening overnight. Your patience will be tested; you’ll consider cutting corners that aren’t worth cutting. Weeks will go by where it seems like no progress is being made. You will find yourself missing things you never gave two thoughts to in the past. A kitchen remodel can cause tempers to flare and create overwhelming stress. Remodeling setbacks can manifest in ugly and unfortunate arguments with significant others, family members, and even your pets (who are surely not to blame and can’t even talk back). Remember, a behind-schedule remodeling project is not a metaphor for the lack of control you have over your life; it’s just a remodeling reality. Still, even the most rational people can lose it. Jack Gilhooly remained calm throughout most of his 2006 kitchen remodel, but displayed an uncharacteristically testy attitude by day 72: “...we have hit the wall! Patience is running thin. We are ready to have the project over with and get on with our lives.” Therapist, licensed clinical social worker and mediation specialist Erin Johnston — who, along with her husband, recently endured a kitchen

remodel — offers some sound, sane advice for dealing with the stress a remodel is sure to bring along:

The beauty of Cornerstone at James River not only lies inside your home but in the tranquil environment we strive to create throughout the community. “I would recommend that the owner ask as many Cornerstone’s is questions and clarify Community issues as much Park as possible as occur, even to if enjoy the contractor appears thethings perfect place the evening dismissive and annoyed with the questions. Addressing assessing your breeze or your shareconcerns a quietand moment while options along the way is going to reduce the stress you admire the beauty ofremodel. and frustration you experience during the Issues not addressed, but noticed by the owner the community lake. during the process, are likely going to become the

focal points in living with the space, resulting in a feeling that things are not complete or done poorly.”

“Arguments with significant others should be expected. The best thing to do is to remind one another that the arguments are most likely stress related and not personal. Waiting to address the issue until tempers have cooled and each person has had a chance to understand the issue will help prevent escalation in the argument. Sometimes there is no issue to be discussed; it is simply an occasion when everyone is testy and the circumstances cannot really be changed.” “Try and steer away from an emotional decision or argument. Focusing on the use of space, reasons for the design preference, personal priorities, project timeline, etc. will assist couples in keeping away from the emotional arguments and indecision.” “Parents should consider and engage children in the planning process. Giving kids a chance to express their opinion and take ownership of the process helps them deal with the disruption. Having kids look at the remodel as an adventure and posting a kid-friendly timeline can be helpful. Giving kids age-appropriate remodel responsibilities is also a good idea.” For a low-stress guided plan, contact Wardens Kitchens & Appliance 304-768-0096

Staging Your Home for Resale If you are getting ready to put your home on the market or if you have not been able to sell your home, the home staging service can help create a setting that the new buyer cannot resist. When you decide to sell a home it becomes a product. A first impression is extremely important because potential buyers make up their mind in a few minutes of viewing the home. Consultations start with a complete and thorough walk through of your home. You will receive a detailed analysis of your home’s attractions and trouble spots from curb appeal to room by room assessments. You may do the work yourself or chose our Home Staging Service.

Furniture Groupings

Musical Furniture

There’s a common belief that rooms will feel larger and be easier to use if all the furniture is pushed against the walls, but that isn’t the case. Instead, furnish your space by floating furniture away from walls. Reposition sofas and chairs into cozy conversational groups, and place pieces so that the traffic flow in a room is obvious. Not only will this make the space more user-friendly, but it will open up the room and make it seem larger.

Give yourself permission to move furniture, artwork and accessories among rooms on a whim. Just because you bought that armchair for the living room doesn’t mean it won’t look great anchoring a sitting area in your bedroom. And try perching a little-used dining-room table in front of a pretty window, top it with buffet lamps and other accessories, and press it into service as a beautiful writing desk or library table. Room Transformations If you have a room that serves only to gather junk, repurpose it into something that will add to the value of your home. The simple addition of a comfortable armchair, a small table and a lamp in a stairwell nook will transform it into a cozy reading spot. Or drape fabric on the walls of your basement, lay inexpensive rubber padding or a carpet remnant on the floor and toss in a few cushy pillows. Voila - a new meditation room or yoga studio.

Bye, Bye Clutter The most important thing you can do to prepare your home for sale is to get rid of clutter. Make a house rule that for every new item that comes in, an old one has to leave. One of the major contributors to a cluttered look is having too much furniture. When professional stagers descend on a home being prepped for market, they often whisk away as much as half the owner’s furnishings, and the house looks much bigger for it. You don’t have to whittle that drastically, but take a hard look at what you have and ask yourself what you can live without.

Evaluating the Options in Home Security Systems Home Security Systems are more important than ever before. Crime is on the rise in many areas of the country. Over 2 million burglaries occur every year, with the average dollar loss over $2,000 - not to mention the potential harm to personal safety. Many experts point to the nation’s current economic troubles and high unemployment as leading indicators for a continued rise in the crime rate. Protect Your Home with Protect America Home Security Systems Today! Safeguarding your home is vitally important to the protection of your property and family. Properly placed exterior lighting and good dead bolts can help reduce your odds of being a victim - but unfortunately, an experienced criminal can generally get through nearly all locks within 60 seconds. As a result, most experts suggest investing in a home security system - preferably one that is monitored by a live service for the utmost protection.

Statistics show that the majority of criminals will choose a home without a security system and bypass those better protected. Home security systems can vary greatly in protection and cost. Some home security

Air Cleaning and Purification Your home or business needs more than just heating and cooling – with today’s more energy efficient building techniques, it’s harder than ever before to get fresh air in and stale air OUT. We sell, install and maintain a range of air cleaning products – including room air purifiers, home/business purification systems and humidifiers that control the quality of the air your family, pets, employees or customers breathe every day.

around the home, you don’t think about something until it breaks – but your air ducts require regular cleaning, just like the air filter in your vehicle or heating/ cooling system. If your ducts aren’t clean, they’re costing you money – because your heating and cooling systems have to work harder to push the same amount of air through the ducts. Just like all our services, we offer flat rate pricing – assuring you of the most value for your money when you call on us to service or repair your air quality control systems. Air cleaning & purification from the local experts:

When was the last time someone checked your ducts? – like many things

How to Tell If My Roof Has Storm Damage High winds, hail, rain, snow and other weather conditions can cause roof damage. The damage can be as small as a few torn shingles, or as large as broken structural supports that jeopardize the safety of your home. Perform a damage assessment as soon after a storm as practical. Many types of damage allow the elements into your home and create unsafe or uncomfortable conditions. Repairs can become more costly over time.

from your roof. From the ground, use binoculars for a detailed inspection. 3 Go into your attic, if you have one. Use a flashlight to help you assess the condition of the roof from the underside. Look for daylight coming through the roof, which indicates cracks or holes. Look for signs of water damage, like water stains on the roof sheathing or rafters. Check for wet insulation or flooring. If you don’t have access to an attic, carefully inspect the ceilings in your home for water intrusion.

1 Examine the adjacent property for roofing material. Look for tree damage, missing limbs and broken branches. Extreme damage to landscaping is a clue to possible roof damage.

4 Test for roof damage that may need repair but not be obvious. Have a helper stay in the attic to check for leaks while you spray water with a hose from outside the house.

2 Climb a ladder to inspect the roof. Examine all sides for penetration. Look for missing roofing material such as shingles, roofing tiles, vents or flashing. Be alert for tree branches or other debris protruding Robert J. Keiffer, Broker, CRS, GRI 304-722-6473 Jack R.

Home Inspection Questions and Answers What is a home inspection and what does it include? A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. A standard home inspection report will cover the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and structural components.

or not to have a home inspection or in the selection of your home inspector. The sense of security and knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the cost, and the lowest-priced inspection is not necessarily a bargain. Use the recommendations from your Banker or Lending Institutions, Insurance Agent, Appraiser, Lawyer, Friends, and/or Realtor as a guide.

inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventative measures that might help you avoid costly future repairs.

Why do I need a home inspection?

When is a home inspector contacted? A home inspection company is typically contacted immediately after the contract or purchase agreement has been signed. Before you sign, be sure there is an inspection clause in the sales contract, making your final purchase obligation contingent on the findings (NOT Pass or Fail) of a professional home inspection. This clause should specify the terms and conditions to which both the buyer and seller are obligated.

Home inspections help buyers determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies before they buy, and it minimizes any unpleasant surprises or significant financial burdens later on. The home inspector’s service is primarily one of education. The goal of the inspector is to provide buyers with a better understanding of the physical condition of their prospective home so that they can make a more informed decision. How much will it cost? The inspection fee for a typical one-family house varies geographically, as does the cost of housing. Similarly, within a given area, the inspection fee may vary depending on a number of factors such as the size of the house, its age, possible other factors such as if it has a crawl space or not, and the Inspectors’ qualifications, such as a Registered Professional Engineer, number of completed Inspections, years in the profession, and membership in the WVAHI, West Virginia Association of Home Inspectors.

Buying a home could be the largest single investment a person will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.

One should not let the cost be a factor in deciding whether

Maintenance: If you already are a homeowner, a home

Pre-Listing: If you are planning to sell your home, a home inspection can give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.

Should you be at the inspection? It is not required that you be present at the inspection, but it is highly recommended. If you are there , it makes it easier for you to observe what the inspector is doing and ask questions as you learn about the condition the home and how to maintain it. Regardless of the outcome, with a home inspection, you can easily purchase your home with confidence. From the inspectors written report, you will have learned many things about your new home and also have that information for future reference. Contact S.H. Stuart, Certified Home Inspector HI6331379-0612 at 304-690-2536.

Summertime and Dealing with Biting Insects It can be distressing to have an infestation of biting insects in the home, but there is no need to tolerate them as there are treatments to deal with them. In this country, the three most common sources of insect bites in the home are: • Usually bite after dusk or at night • Tend to be near slow-moving water • Often resting on ceilings and upper walls Keep windows closed at night or use fly screens to prevent mosquitoes entering the home. Once inside the home, mosquitoes can be treated like other flying insects. • Associated with cats and dogs as pets • Often found when moving into a home that used to have pets • Will switch to biting humans when pets not present • Bites often clustered around ankles and lower legs

Fleas are a common problem in homes especially for those with cats or dogs. • Nocturnal insects that bite at night • Bites can be anywhere on the body • Small spots of blood left on bed linen • Staining of mattresses and surrounding areas Please refer to our guide for treating fleas if you suspect you have an infestation in your home. While these are the most common causes of insect bites in the home, there are many others - however they can all be treated. Dodson Bros. offers a call-out service to deal with all types of biting insect and other pest problems in the home. Our service is fast, effective and offers the highest level of safety for your family and pets. If you would like further advice or to arrange arrange a visit from one of our service technicians, call us on 304-744-0303

Big Vacation Fun for a Smaller Price Tag What’s your ideal vacation? Relaxing at the beach? A trip to NYC or San Francisco? Unwinding in the mountains? While the cost of a vacation can add up quickly, there are ways you can enjoy time off without spending more than you can afford. Check out Your Hometown Like a Tourist Most of us take our hometown for granted, but when you look at your town like a tourist, you’re sure to find lots of great places to visit and fun things to do. Look for festivals and free or inexpensive concerts. Many museums have free admission days. The summer is also prime time for events in local parks like nature walks and night hikes. If you have a minor league baseball team, tickets are much less expensive than in the majors. Some grocery stores offer coupons for reduced admission to local zoos and aquariums. And since you won’t be spending money on a hotel, you can spend more on activities and a few meals on the town. Make Your Vacation a Group Affair One of the big ticket items on any vacation is the cost of a place to stay. The cost of a moderate hotel room can run $500 a week or more for one room. To cut that cost and get more space,

consider vacationing with friends or family and renting a house or condo. With a kitchen, you’ll also be able to lower your food costs by making some of your meals at home or packing lunches for your excursions instead of paying for less tasty, more expensive fast food. It might even give you the chance to have an evening out with your partner, with couples taking turns watching all the kids. Try an All-Inclusive Vacation Even with the best intentions, costs on your vacation can add up quickly. Meals and snacks, renting a bike or kayak, seeing a show or a movie can add up to hundreds of dollars or more. If you choose an all-inclusive vacation, the cost of airfare, lodging, food and drinks, and entertainment are included in the price. That can help you stick to your vacation budget better. Cruises and package deals (airfare, accommodations and a rental car) offer another option for keeping costs under control. There are a number of websites that specialize in allinclusive and cruise vacations where you can compare prices and find the vacation that fits your budget.

Simple Ways to Save Cash in some of your credit card reward points for restaurant gift cards that you can use on vacation. Take advantage of discounts on attractions, hotels and rental cars offered by your auto club, bank or credit union, or credit card company. Make sure you buy things like sunscreen, shampoo and pain reliever at home and bring them with you. Costs for these items can be much higher in vacation towns. One way to make sure your vacation doesn’t break your budget is to save for your trip ahead of time. Figure out how much you want to spend and have a portion of that amount automatically deducted from your paycheck and deposited in a savings account. Then, when you come home from vacation, you won’t face the stress of big credit card bills. This article is for informational purposes only.
