Hotel Grand Openings can SAVE you MONEY!
There is nothing like going on a vacation or business trip, and being the first guests to stay in a new or re-furbished hotel. The smell of a new room, the look of a new lobby, a pool that is un-used, a tread-mill that needs to be broken in, and a staff that will do what ever it takes to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Yup, this is the life.
I think when ever I try to book a vacation or business travel in the future, I will always try and book it at a new hotel. Consider this, in a new hotel or motel if I have a complaint, it is most likely to be quickly resolved. The Management of the establishment is counting on my positive experience to help sell their product in the future. Even if the name of the hotel is well known nationally, it doesn’t matter if the new one in question has a bad reputation write from the beginning.
There is a good chance that booking at a new hotel will also get you showered with gifts and discount coupons you would otherwise not have a chance to receive. You might even be invited to participate in focus groups and receive additional rewards for rating and reviewing the hotel amenities and services. Who knows, you might just discover another way to travel.
Please tell us about any experiences you have had at new hotels, and if you have any problems, feel free to visit www.directcomplaint.com and post your thoughts on our consumer poster board.
Discount Warehouse Shopping
Have you ever noticed, that you don’t always save money by shopping at one of those so called discount ware houses?
I have noticed a pattern when I go shopping at one of those places, and it’s not good. First of all, most people end up spending much more then they can afford. I think this is because so many things are only available in bulk packaging, and it doesn’t take many items to go over the planned budget expense. The way that things are stacked up and laid out is designed to make the shopper feel like we are getting a great deal, and well, it usually works.
The hardest part of the shopping experience for most people is the comparison shopping they need to do to determine if they are really saving money, it’s not easy to comparison shop when you are buying ten cans in a package instead of one, and the ounce size of the cans is different. Because most of the boxes, cans, jars, and fruit or vegetable bags are in larger sizes, it is almost impossible, not to mention time consuming for the average consumer to know if they are truly saving any money.
