DonorTravel.com Makes First Charitable Contribution - Online Bookings Reach $5,000, Half of Commission Donated to Red Cross

(PRWEB) May 30, 2005

Making good on the pledge to give back to the community, DonorTravel.com, the only web-based travel booking resource offering the best values available and the benefit of supporting a variety of charitable and non-profit causes, recently made a contribution to the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is among 10 organizations, including Habitat for Humanity and the United Negro College Fund, selected to receive funding from the conscientious new online booking site.

“We're pleased to announce we’ve passed the $ 5,000 mark in total reservations booked on DonorTravel.com,” said Louis Willacy, founder of DonorTravel.com, the “Feel Good Travel” website. “Many thanks to all who have booked travel here. Your support is already making a difference.”

Launched just a few months ago, DonorTravel.com was created to deliver two key objectives – offer a great product that people want, and donate 50% of all booking commissions to support charitable and non-profit causes. By providing the best online prices and selection for travel and related services, the innovative website has tapped into a demand-driven market while offering a value-added benefit of convenient charitable giving for consumers. The growing success of DonorTravel.com means more funding will become available to donate to charities like the American Red Cross.

The $ 5,000 is the total of all bookings made to date on DonorTravel.com. A percentage of that amount is paid back to the travel firm in commission and then half of that amount is donated by DonorTravel.com to charity. Commissions vary among hotels, cruises, car rentals and airlines. For example, today, airlines pay a flat commission of just $ 5 for every flight reservation, regardless of distance traveled or complexity of the itinerary.

DonorTravel.com is part of Oakland-based Interactive Travel Group, which now includes the online travel discussion board, TravelWisdom.com. Billed as the traveler’s website, TravelWisom.com encourages visitors to “learn” everything they need to know about a destination, “travel” with the knowledge gained though other people’s experiences and “share” to offer others in the travel community insight on your journey.

Willacy is offering a special promotional offer to drive visitors to the message board. Now through June 30, clients and visitors who refer a friend to the TravelWisdom.com site are eligible for a $ 100 travel credit on their next booking at DonorTravel.com. The person with the most referrals by the end of June wins.

ClearRisk Turns 5 Years Old: the Online Application Provider Celebrates Five Years of Helping Insurance Brokers be More Successful.

St. John's, Newfoundland (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

September 20th, 2011 marks the 5th anniversary of ClearRisk's incorporation. "I am delighted about reaching this very important milestone in the company's development," said Craig Rowe, Founder and CEO of ClearRisk. "We have a great staff team, an experienced Board of Directors, enthusiastic customers, and very supportive shareholders. Combined with our rapid sales growth and recent venture capital investment, we are very well-positioned for success."

Early in 2011, ClearRisk received venture capital from Growthworks, a leading Canadian VC firm. "ClearRisk was a logical fit for our portfolio," said Tom Hayes, President and CEO of Growthworks Atlantic. "Craig and his staff really know the insurance industry and have a great product/market fit. We think they have great potential."

ClearRisk provides cloud and mobile applications for risk and insurance. "We make Insurance brokers more successful." said Rowe. "We are maniacally focused on their success by providing them with solutions that give them a differentiator to create competitive advantage in the mid-market. We help them open doors, close sales, and retain business."

Mike Grandinetti, ClearRisk Board Director added, I have been working with Craig and his exceptional team for over two years. Based on Craig's 20 years of domain experience, he has brought an innate understanding of the risk industry to his role as CEO. As a result, ClearRisk has quickly become the leader in their industry through both developing their innovative purpose-built solutions for insurance brokers, and by using modern digital marketing methods to build their sales channel and customer base. I have had the privilege of working as a Board member and advisor with many successful technology companies throughout North America and Europe for the past decade; I have been most impressed with ClearRisk's commitment to best practices across all functional areas of the company, and their corresponding market traction and increasing industry recognition. I am confident that this is the right team at the right time in this rapidly growing market space" added Grandinetti.

ClearRisk has received significant support from ACOA, the NRC, the NL INTRD, the First Angel Network, and several individual investors. We have been very fortunate to have received the support of some leading funding and investment organizations in our region. Building a technology company takes a lot of time and capital, and we couldnt have done it without their support, said Rowe.

ClearRisk is exhibiting at the RIMS Canada Conference in Ottawa this week. "It's business as usual at ClearRisk as we turn five. It's great to celebrate milestones and successes, but we can't let it slow us down or distract from our focus on creating and delivering great products and making our customers profitable," said Rowe.

Srini Saripalli Launches his new E-Book Titled "Offline Marketing for Online Marketers"

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2008

Building Online Sales without a Computer! Huh?!?

Internet traffic has become a commodity. Though drawing site hits used to lie in the hands of a chosen few, these methods have now become the norm. And the big boys like Google and other top search engines have changed the way they do business to deflate the traffic balloon.

But Srini Saripalli has found an answer.

"These days phone book advertising, print media and direct mail are working wonders," he said.

The barrage of free traffic exchanges and keyword spamming could be partly to blame. Or maybe its all the cybersquatters out there buying up domain names and filling them with nothing but junk. With new Google algorithms and other major search engines following suit, the best way to build traffic to your website seems to be to turn off your computer and start working with advertising professionals, if you can afford to.

"Most internet marketers struggle to strategize and profit from a campaign where both offline and online methodologies are involved," says Saripalli.

That's why Saripalli went back to his roots as a brick-and-mortar businessman and started using techniques that pre-date the internet and its volatility. His experience in real estate has helped him ride the waves of the world of online entrepreneurship in stride, but he sees now that many of the methods that built his offline businesses can work just as well for his web ventures.

Saripalli realizes many don't have any business experience outside of the internet, which is why he is offering his FREE E-Book Offline Marketing For Online Marketers as a FREE download at his website.

All the techniques he shares in the book are from his offline businesses where Srini tried using the internet as the core marketing medium. From dipping your toes in real estate to diving into the retail industry, these techniques are important to everyone who has or will have a successful internet marketing business.

Saripalli is all about helping others succeed. From telecourses to providing the latest information, many call him a success engineer. He's been a leading source of help on real estate investing, and has recently started a membership venture to help people manage all the information out there and connect with other people doing the same things.

"You gotta give it away to keep it," he says. "The internet has heated up competition, but the ability to connect and learn from others is astounding" You can download the FREE E-Book Here
