Visitor, we're your most effective guide to getaway lodgings.

1. For over 10 years we've been listing romantic getaways 2-3 hours drive north of NYC, just perfect for a quick few days away. We cover the Catskills, the mid Hudson Valley, and the Berkshires.


2. You won't need pencil and paper. We keep track for you of lodgings you're interested in, then we help you check out their web sites, all together side by side. You won't realize how hard looking for getaways usually is until you try our system--we make it so simple you'll actually enjoy it! When you leave our site, the "session cookie" we used for keeping track of your selections automatically deletes itself.

3. Prefer online booking? We're starting to list lodgings' online booking pages so you can secure your getaway in just a few  moments.

Lodging, we're your most effective source of new business.

1. Get more visitors by being included in our new getaway-selection sytem.
We're delivering more visits than almost any other directory:
        - 4000 visits a year to a 30-room lodging near Phoenicia, NY.
        - 3000 visits a year to a Hudson Valley family-style ranch.
        - 2000 visits a year to a small resort in Litchfield County, CT.
        - 2000 visits a year to a B&B in Roscoe, NY.
        - 1500 visits a year to a 25-room hotel in Windham, NY.
        - 1200 visits a year to an inn in Lenox, MA.
                       (All these lodgings have enhanced listings.)

2. Pay only for visits to your site, with no risk. We bill you upfront for visits we expect to send you by September 30. Any shortfall, we'll reimburse you for. There's no contract to sign. You can cancel any time.

3. Get the number of visitors you want, when you want them. Short of customers in May and September? Enhance your listing in just those months to get more visitors. Full in August, don't want any inquiries? Have no listing at all those months. Month by month throughout the year you can vary how prominent your listing is. Listing cost from 10 to 30 cents per visit (see this page for types of  listing). By paying for visits only when you need them most, you end up with more profit. (Note: this is a nycgetaways.com exclusive; no other directory offers you this.)

4. Have your listings page made number 1 in Google, Yahoo and MSN. When you and your neighbors need listings most and two or more of you have enhanced listings, by pooling your per-visit fees we can pay to have your listing page made top sponsored listing in the major search engines.

5. Highly qualified visitors. Three quarter of our visitors come from the boros of NYC. First, they've clicked on a link to a site with "getaway" in the title. Then they've chosen your particular listings page. Finally they've chosen to visit you because of our description. They're three-times qualified. They're premium prospects.

Sponsor, we're your best source of getaway visitors.

10,000-20,000 people visit our guides each month. We're a unique channel for commercial messages within a very sharply-defined marketplace--New Yorkers interested in our region for getaways. We don't carry the usual advertising, but we do offer to place announcements of interest to our visitors at rates of around $20 per 1000 views.

Tourism attractions and restaurants, County and town boosters, economic development agencies, real estate companies, local specialty food purveyers--all may find pages in our guides through which to reach very tightly-focused streams of visitors who would welcome your message.

Lodging Association, Chamber, we're your best source of online marketing services for your lodging members.

Extra visits for your lodging members. You have members who want more visits from your site than you can afford the marketing dollars for, right? Refer them to us. We'll send them those extra visitors at a fair market price.

Online booking and Local Distribution Network. As local reps for BookingCenter we can help you install a booking network for your organization. 2009 is the 400-year anniversary of Hudson's visit up his river. By next year, lodgings within reach of the Hudson River need online booking systems in place for foreign visitors. Now is the time to get that network in place. We can help you.

Design, hosting and online promotion you can afford. Design and hosting we'll give you free, and we'll market your site online at no cost to you, in return for you letting us charge your members for the visits your site sends them. Online visits is the currency that drives tourism today. That's where we like to make our profit. And that's how lodgings prefer to pay their dues, because each qualified visit to their site is a prospect of new business, of a profitable year.

See the two-page Lee Lodging Association web site for a sample of our design. As for our promotion, in four months it's gone from nowhere in the major search engines to page one in Yahoo and MSN and page two in Google, and still rising.
