Summer is half over and for those who haven’t had the chance to get away from it all, Memphis should be more than a spot on your radar. With the Memphis-savvy travel guide you will be able to plan the perfect vacation – whether as a couple, an individual, or a family. Memphis has something for everyone!

And, to make it even more exciting, you can actually enter to win a trip package for yourself and/or your family and friends. Yes WIN that magical trip!

For families, their package includes carriage rides, a trip to the Memphis Zoo, a stay at the Madison Hotel, dinner for four, and so much more.

For couples, magic carriage rides, the Orpheum Theater, and a stay at the Peabody Hotel is just part of a deluxe vacation you’ll not soon forget.

Single? Like to travel alone? Not a problem, there is the perfect “enter to win” travel package for you. And, if you would rather bring friends, you will have a rocking good time at the Rock n Soul Museum, dinner at BB Kings, a Hi-Tone’s show, and much more.

Memphis is, of course, the home of Elvis Presley, Graceland. Beale Street, and BBQ to die for are just the tip of the iceberg choosing Memphis for a great way to wrap up the summer!

As a family of four in our household, even though we are on the “older side” with one 19 year old, the family package contest holds vast appeal. Personally I love zoos, free dinners, and – even though I have never taken one I have always wanted to – the carriage ride sounds fascinating, fun, and right up our alley.

So my advice is do not wait! Memphis Travel is selecting weekly winners, so enter now, enter often, and you just might win your very own once-in-a-lifetime vacation!

Have you ever thought of entering a video contest only to question whether you had the “right stuff” to make a potentially winning video? What it takes is a willingness to give it your all, just be yourself, and – of course – fulfill the requirements and/or guidelines of that particular contest.

Recently, Abbott Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO), a business that just happens to be a global leader in laser vision correction, held a contest to see who could make the best video, and their iLASIK Video Contest was a huge success! Sixty (60) participants submitted home videos regarding their experience with Lasik eye surgery. (more…)

Bidazzled recently caught my attention for a number of reasons:

1. The premise of the web site was founded around The Ruch Foundation (a lung charity organization)

2. It’s a “penny auction” or “pay-per-bid” auction web site. These are always fun and you never know what’s coming up for bid – so keeping your eyes wide open is a must

3. Everybody wins! Even if you’re not the winner for the item you are bidding on, Bidazzeled still awards you up to 50 “bonus bids.” Their personal way of saying thank you for giving it a go – and of course encouragement to come back again and again to this auction fun zone.

They have also covered their bases since not everyone is a fan of bidding. So if an auction is not your style, but the item online is, then you can “purchase the auction item less the investment you had in the auction.”

What is truly odd, or unique, is that they, in turn, offer the winner of the auction the ability to sell it back to them! Yeah, I know it sounds odd, but they will buy it back for cash (PayPal or check); cash plus bids; or more bids.

You will also love the fact that a bid costs just $1 with a minimum purchase of just $25 per pack. And, just so you know, in Bidazzled’s first month online two people won Nintendo Wii’s. How much did it cost them? Just 5 free bids!

Honestly, as if that wasn’t enough, they also have a referral program so you can build up your bidding power like crazy just for spreading the word about this amazing – and truly strange (in a wonderful way) auction website!
