The 2009 Consumer Guide for Bermuda will be available for free in tomorrow's Royal Gazette.

New features this year include a complementary online edition of the magazine and the innovative "Ask the Pro" service which puts some of Bermuda's leading experts a simple e-mail away from consumers.

Both the print and online editions of the 2009 Consumer Guide feature over 100 pages of valuable information that will better position readers to make informed choices about their finances, health, home, lifestyles and vehicles.

The website, which can be accessed through www.royalgazette.com, offers a clean and user-friendly 'print-to-web' version of the magazine with easy flip through navigation, a searchable database and quick links to a variety of products and services through the advertisements.

The website also offers the brand new 'Ask the Pro' service which allows readers to contact industry experts via e-mail to request advice or have their questions answered on a variety of topics ranging from security and insurance to interior design and catering.

"We hope The Royal Gazette Consumer Guide and accompanying website will be Bermuda's go-to resource at a time when all consumers are looking to be more prudent in their spending," said Royal Gazette editor Bill Zuill.
