“Everythingstmaarten.com” Website To Give Away Three St. Maarten Vacations


WEBWIRE

(Plymouth, Massachusetts) – Jeff Berger, owner of the everythingstmaarten.com and everythingstmartin.com websites, the largest in the world devoted to the island, said today that the websites will give away three St. Maarten / St. Martin vacations and a rapidly growing list of other prizes to celebrate the sites approaching 1.5-million total visitors.
The top prizes are three St. Maarten vacations at island resorts, and there are also many dinners at restaurants on both sides of the island, cruises, massages, and other prizes.
An “Accident”
“The site was started accidentally,” proclaims Jeff Berger of JMB Communications, the company that started the St. Maarten / St. Martin sites in 1996. Berger heads a PR/marketing communications agency in Plymouth, Mass., and he posted a brief story about St. Maarten on his business website in 1996 as a writing sample.
“When the search engines kicked in, off it went. We initially had perhaps two dozen hits a week, but now we’re getting ten to twelve thousand a week. The site has a significant impact on the St. Maarten and St. Martin businesses it mentions.”
In mid-2005, the site gave away a two-week vacation at The Summit Resort on St. Maarten and at the Holland House Beach Hotel to celebrate it reaching one million visitors. This time, the prize list is far longer. “We decided approaching 1.5-million visits this soon after hitting one million last year was worthy of a celebration.” All prizes are donated in return for mentions on the websites.
Berger’s website contains an abundance of island information and is updated daily. Berger also publishes a free weekly newsletter about the island, published every Monday. His site also now includes dozens of discount coupons for island attractions, restaurants, jewelry stores, boat trips, etc. The site home page is www.everythingstmaarten.com.
The list of prizes to be given away in celebration of the millionth visit is impressive. It includes:
