Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce Announces Destination Travel Website Redesign

The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the re-launch of PleasureIslandNC.org, the destination travel website with a focus on over four hundred chamber member businesses located in Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and the greater Wilmington NC area.  The site is also a resource for information about chamber and area events, sights to see, and visitor information.

Carolina Beach, N.C., March 2012 (PleasureIslandNC.org) - Visitors to PleasureIslandNC.org will find a new look to greet them this spring.  The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce,  the organization behind PleasureIslandNC.org, have created a redesign that provides a more dynamic look and functionality as well as helps promote member businesses, area events, and resources both on and off the island.

Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Historic Fort Fisher are the beach towns south of Wilmington, N.C. that make up Pleasure Island.  In addition to being vibrant, year-round communities, these North Carolina beach towns are also popular vacation destinations for our neighbors in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Jacksonville, and other North Carolina cities and for our friends in the Midwest and northeast.  The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting and promoting local businesses and to promoting Pleasure Island as a visitor destination and a great place to do business.

The website redesign project strives to bring member businesses more to the forefront of the site, with opportunities for members to add detailed information about their business, including photos, coupons, or a menu for restaurants.  Members will have control of their pages so they can add information as desired, such as special promotions or discounts, in addition to the basic contact information that is already included for each member.

The Chamber has also added the opportunity for a more robust visitor experience.  Visitors to PleasureIslandNC.org can browse through the Where to Eat, Where to Play, Where to Stay, and Local Business directories and add any of the results to "My Visit."  They will be prompted to create an account where they can save all of the hotel options, restaurants, and attractions that interest them to easily access again at any time.

The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce website is a comprehensive resource and guide to the Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Historic Fort Fisher area in southeastern North Carolina.  Chamber members are based in Pleasure Island, Wilmington, Leland, Castle Hayne, and beyond.  The website redesign was handled by two local businesses and chamber members, Blu Zeus Interactive Marketing (Web Designer) and Wilmington SEO & Marketing, Inc. (Coordination and Search Engine Optimization), both located in Wilmington, N.C.
