Seven Directions Custom Tours Presents Summer 2012 Getaways Ideas for Shorter Vacations

Reply


Santa Fe, New Mexico (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

Seven Directions Custom Tours offers captivating ideas to overcome both the constraints created by the economy and the shrinking free time most travelers encounter. The new line of getaways was initially inspired by the exciting transit of Venus that happened on June 5th.

These days when time is short or budgets are smaller finding meaningful vacations can be challenging. Nevertheless, for travelers looking for an empowering experience there are several opportunities offering an intense and involving travel adventure.

An Astronomy Tour under the Dark Skies of the Southwest takes immediately in an outwardly space. The sky this year is hip and trendy. Thanks to the spectacular annular solar eclipse and the enchanting transit of Venus gazing at the sky has become more popular and consequently the interest in astronomy.

The skies of Arizona and New Mexico are generally pollution-free, also free of interfering lights during the dark hours. This explains the presence of so many observatories in both territories. Therefore a well balanced program between day-time immersions in the stunning natural settings of the Southwest and night-time sky observations can easily carry away from the daily routine lifting the spirit and opening the mind.

Spirituality and Sacred Places Journeys can be shaped to different pursuits. People interested in architecture and history of churches and places of devotion can find reasons for inspiration in the 17th and 18th century Mission Churches of New Mexico and Southern Arizona. Others may prefer a deeper experience by partaking in spiritual ceremonies and select the spiritual path offered by ancient civilizations. Or, simply, one can fully enjoy the beauty of nature while doing some yoga in a pristine surrounding.

Creative Hands-On Experiences allows immersing oneself in the culture of a place and get totally absorbed by crafting his or her own inspirations in a kind of meditative exercise. Bread making in a horno, painting, farming, writing, dancing, photographing, the choice of arts or crafts is endless. The result of such an experience is priceless.

Seven Directions has developed over the years customized experiences for its many different clients requirements and dreams. No program is the same because every person has a different dream for a special vacation.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 07, 2012

Marketers who want to know how to create a mailing list have a tough problem to solve, said the latest DigitalMarketer.com article.

The experts behind Double Your List used the very same techniques in the Special Report to turn a list of 8,000 into 400,000 in less than a year. There were no unethical practices or spammy, unwanted strategies. Now companies can skip the guesswork and implement the same tactics that work immediately, said the article.

Study Finds 63% of Core Music Buyers Prefer Music from the Past

Posted on by

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 15, 2012

In an industry where a small percentage of polished, brand new, plugged-in and tech-savvy artists, think Justin Bieber and his 26 million Twitter followers, gain the majority of attention from music media and industry, the Gracie Management Poll finds that a strong majority of core music buyers, defined by age as being between 18-34, think contemporary music is not as good as older music. 63% stated that music today is worse than it has been in the past, perhaps demonstrating a trend for the industry to invest in greater artist development, along with providing new opportunities for older artists still working.

I think this finding helps to explain why we have seen an increase in the sales of catalog albums, which cannot be occurring solely based upon people aged 35 and older. Core music buyers, who are between 18 and 34 years-old, are playing a role, too. This is quite exciting and can help bring new life to many older artists as compared to past decades when younger people would simply reject these musicians as being their parents or grandparents music. These older artists have a good level of cache, and it is easier to get exposed to their music with streaming services such as Spotify, says Chasson Gracie, Founder and CEO of Gracie Management.

Survey Methods

Results for the Gracie Management Poll are based upon online interviews that were conducted on June 29, 2012 among 521 adults between the age of 18-34, living in the United States and part of an opt-in panel. Results are based on the total sample of US online adults between 18-34; one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is

HealthCompare Will Release Ebooks To Educate Consumers On The Hardships Associated With Health Insurance

Posted on by

Orange, California (PRWEB) August 01, 2012

The explosion of the ebook industry has lead HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site, to release ebooks so they may educate and guide more consumers than ever.

HealthCompare began their journey toward insurance education when they began assisting website visitors with their decisions by leading them to their own answers by asking questions like:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:

How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?

What will the policies being compared offer in terms of maximum out-of-pocket expense?

Will the consumers office visits be covered?

Do any of the policies up for comparison offer maternity?

Is prescription drug coverage an option?

How much will the consumer pay for emergency services and ambulances?

Will the current primary physician and local hospitals be accepted under any of the policies being considered?

Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.

HealthCompare understands this disconnect in the industry and chose to release infographics to help explain it further. Infographics are a graphic tool used online to illustrate complex topics in an uncomplicated fashion.

By using interesting colors and images along with corresponding data, infographics distill the essence of the topic by extracting industry language and difficult jargon. Some infographics released by HealthCompare are:

Understanding Where to Find Affordable Medical Insurance

The Right Way To Make A Health Insurance Comparisons

Why Skipping Self-Employed Health Insurance Isnt a Good Idea

Is Low-Deductible Health Insurance A Bad Thing

Other infographics by the national health insurance leader can be found here.

Reaching the most consumers possible has always been a target for HealthCompare. Thats why they chose to continue their efforts toward education through ebooks. With more Americans than ever reading again because of the portability and affordability of these kinds of books.

The titles released by HealthCompare will be lifestyle titles designed to encourage, inspire, and motivate consumers in all stages of life, from college to new parenthood and beyond.

The books will be released weekly beginning in August.

About Health Compare: HealthCompare was launched in 2009 to work with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy, and enroll in the right health insurance plan at the right price. Based in Orange, Calif., it delivers accurate, customized, health insurance quotes for the country’s diverse population.

Through a unique partnership with its sister company, CONEXIS, HealthCompare has the ability to quickly reach thousands of COBRA-qualifying consumers and provide them with COBRA alternatives at the moment they become eligible for COBRA benefits. This provides these consumers with an opportunity to enroll in individual or family plans and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars on COBRA premiums and, at the same time, rewards referring brokers with referral fee income for the life of each policy.
