Bobzio.com offers a free listing platform for vacation rentals, home exchanges, and area services. The listing package includes unlimited photos and video, a reservation calender, mapping feature, and email contact form. The most critical aspect to a successful rental season is presenting a clean and well maintained vacation home. A couple bad reviews due to inadequate cleaning and/or faulty maintenance can be the cause of cancellations and falling reservation inquiries.
Bobzio.com was designed by rental owners and vacation rental customers. Bobzio.com knows exactly the importance of presenting a clean and pleasant experience for rental customers. Bobzio.com recommends a thorough 2 to 3 day initial cleaning before the busy spring season and then a minimal 4-5 hour cleaning between customer use. When possible a solid 8 hour day is best when scheduling permits. The best way to insure repeat customers is by an absolutely clean and well maintained property. Cleaning and maintenance of a vacation rental property is a component of the Marketing Strategy. A repeat customer will produce more income in the long run than solely depending on attracting new customers. The best mix is 50-70% returning customer mix with 50-30% new customers. With a good cleaning and maintenance program many new customers will be by referrals. One property that has a good record of referrals by previous customers is Bayrock 1. The most frequent reason sited is the relaxed atmosphere and the level of cleanliness. Bobzio.com welcomes your comments.

As MD Tech Pro’s newest regional developer of the Low Country Market, Michael H. Brown hopes to alleviate some of the pain and suffering that doctors are feeling these days. While physicians abandon the paper trail and jump into a fast changing medical electronic age, specialized IT companies like MD Tech Pro are coming to their rescue.
“The choices, selection and adoption of technology like Electronic Medical Records (EMR) can be overwhelming to physicians,” said Brown. “Now the Savannah medical community will have access to the most seasoned IT and EMR partners in this time of transition.”
The Atlanta-based company is launching a regional office to provide IT and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solutions exclusively to medical practices. Brown’s team will be based out of Savannah, and will service medical practices from 1 to over 50 physicians, in the southern portions of South Carolina and Georgia.
MD Tech Pro was established by two veteran medical IT professionals who identified an urgent need for doctors to have a proactive specialized IT and EMR partner that offered more than reactive computer repair and support. What evolved is a company providing a vast array of healthcare IT and EMR services designed to keep a medical practice focused on patient care instead of IT burdens.
“With federal efforts pushing doctors to EMR adoption, we hope to lessen their load and become a partner in this inevitable, but worthwhile transition,” said Brown. “Downtime in a medical practice is just not an option so we’ve perfected our medical IT services so that there is no interruption to patient care, billing and other office functions.”
A veteran of the healthcare industry, Brown has spent his career in medical equipment, medical sales and the healthcare real estate investment/development markets.
“Savannah has a very reputable medical environment, and I’m excited to be a part of this thriving community,” said Brown.
“Michael has a strong track record for managing medical solutions and being innovative, responsive and passionate about delivering value,” said Sheryl Cherico, Founder of MD Tech Pro. “When we started expanding our IT services across the U.S. with new offices in both Phoenix and Savannah, we knew Michael was the perfect fit for Savannah and the Low Country market.”
Both Brown and his wife Corinne, a native of Savannah, have always had their eye on returning to Savannah. “There is a certain soul to Savannah that is very similar to New Orleans making me feel right at home,” said Brown. Since his childhood years in New Orleans, Brown has been an avid hunter and fisherman and plans to fish and hunt for both game and business opportunities.
Mrs. Brown, formerly a publishing executive for Time, Inc. has spent two decades in the coastal markets of Jacksonville, Charleston, Savannah and Hilton Head, managing multiple publications including Coastal Living, Southern Accents, Sunset and Entr

Atlantic Information Services, Inc., publisher of AISs Health Reform Week, is pleased to announce its January 12 webinar, Essential Health Benefits Under Reform: What HHSs New Guidance Means for Insurers and Employers. See webinar details at http://aishealth.com/marketplace/c2r04_011212.
HHSs Dec. 16 guidance on essential health benefits under reform provides great flexibility for states and lots of useful insights for health plans and employers. It also, though, is a recipe for wide state-by-state variation in benefits that must be offered. And it leaves undecided perhaps for longer than plans can wait in their product development cycles such key aspects as premiums, deductibles and copayments that will enter into the determinations of actuarial value required. Also unresolved is what constitutes medical necessity.
The guidance lets states choose from among four benchmark plans, including both state and federal products, thereby meaning that insurers would have to meet state mandates in some states but not others. Moreover, HHS said it will reassess the benchmarks for 2016 and beyond.
The webinar will provide a thorough analysis of the business strategies health plans and employers now are contemplating for benefit offerings in the post-exchange world ahead. Participants will get reliable strategic information on such key topics as:
What plans are states likely to choose for their benchmarks under the HHS guidance, and why?
What will the plan choices mean for benefits that insurers will have to add to comply with the requirements? How costly will this be?
What does the guidances proposed requirement that plans cover one drug per mandated class mean for insurers and pharmaceutical manufacturers?
To what extent are states likely to modify the benefits within the required categories and replace them with others of comparable worth? What will be the impact?
What effect will the guidance have on employer decisions on whether to continue offering employee health coverage, as opposed to absorbing penalties under the law and having employees obtain coverage in the exchanges?
What is HHS likely to decide on the required premium, copayment and deductible aspects of the essential benefits, and when? How will that affect decisions and costs?
What can insurers expect and what should they do regarding the still-coming determinations related to required actuarial value in 2014 and beyond?
What will be the impact of the guidance on self-insured employers, which are exempt from the essential-benefits requirements but could be affected by insurance-market trends and cannot put annual and lifetime dollar limits on essential benefits?
After a lively 60-minute presentation, a concluding 30-minute question-and-answer session will allow webinar participants to pose individual questions to the speakers. Visit http://aishealth.com/marketplace/c2r04_011212#speakers to learn more about the speakers:
