FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Pet-Friendly Hotel Directory Implements Fundraising Program for Non-Profit Animal Shelters and Humane Societies for Half of Proceeds

CORVALLIS, Ore. - June 1, 2009 -- In order to better serve their customers and to assist non-profit animal organizations at the same time, HotelsAllowingPets.com (HAP) has designed a fundraising program. In order to carry out the program, coordinators seek the help of non-profit animal shelters and humane societies. Half of the proceeds will be donated to their organization when they successfully solicit new hotels in their region to add to HAP's directory.

HAP is an Internet directory for those who travel or are displaced with their pet. With the help of charitable organizations HAP will be able to add more of the 44,000 estimated pet-friendly hotels throughout the United States to their directory. HAP's ultimate goal is to be a comprehensive and up-to-date resource.

Those who are accepted into the program will contact hotels in their region and appeal to Hoteliers to help raise money for their cause in exchange for a quality product at a low price. There is no cost required to perform a membership drive and no materials needed. The organization doesn't have to spend time or money on order taking, product handling, or delivery.

The recognition that many people cannot donate as they would like in a recessed economy leads to the fact that these hotel contributions remedy some of the increased need for support and establishes donor relationships.

The owner of HAP and coordinator of this program stated: "We hope to be able to benefit all parties involved by allowing non-profit agencies to perform membership drives; Hoteliers are receiving affordable Internet advertising and the chance to give to their local humane society or animal shelter; our website visitors gain access to an increasing number of hotels across the US; and charitable organizations get the opportunity to raise funds for equipment, supplies, and animal care without having to invest money or deliver products."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

More Bang for Your Buck: Pet-Friendly Hotel Directory Offers More than its Competitors for a Cheaper Price

CORVALLIS, Ore. - May 4, 2009 -- HotelsAllowingPets.com (HAP) is a hotel directory that features pet-friendly hotels in all 50 U.S. states to people all over the world. Hoteliers can pay a low yearly rate to advertise their hotel(s), and pet owners have a convenient directory that allows them to find a hotel that welcomes them and their pet(s).

In a recessed economy, the service HAP provides presents a great benefit to hoteliers because it reduces vacancy rates and promotes hotels that accommodate pets. Many people have a difficult time locating pet-friendly hotels; they benefit by having the information they need to compare from the frugal to luxury establishments in one convenient location.

HAP allows pet-friendly hoteliers to advertise at a low annual fee of $100.00 for the premium membership. This membership price is a much lower rate than many of its competitors and does not skimp on the benefits. There are currently over 700 hotels listed in the directory.

Hoteliers are given the creative freedom to write a description of their services. In addition to their ability to provide a description of their property and amenities exactly as they see fit, there are many other benefits such as a featured sidebox display, map, logo, image gallery, creative banner display throughout the site, and nearly 20 other features.

These hotel advertisements reach potential clients on a global level. Additional exposure like this is important to stay competitive, and advertising on the Internet reaches an unlimited amount of potential customers.

In order to provide a comprehensive list, HAP is offering a $50 cash prize to travelers that solicit a pet-friendly hotel to join the directory at full price for a limited time. Plus, hoteliers following HAP on Twitter have the option to receive a discount code for half off a year's membership or pay full price, and HAP will donate $50 to their favorite animal charity.

HAP also provides travel tips, related sites, and other additional information as resources to pet owners.

As owner/operator Michele Peters Schamp stated: "We are neither a non-profit organization nor a charitable foundation; however, I hope to be providing a service that resembles this type of vision. HAP is designed to be an easy to remember, up-to-date resource for both hotels and pet-toting travelers."
