When our guests visit us, it is our overall impression that they have enjoyed their experience here. Most say they will return, though few ever do.
When DW and I visit a Bed and Breakfast (which we hate to do now that we own one) we may or may not enjoy the experience. If we enjoy it, it becomes a nice memory.
I do not want to become new best friends with the owners or follow their day to day exploits. I DO NOT CARE. I will not like them on Facebook and I will not friend them.
If Facebook is supposed to find us new guests, then it's a crappy model for getting the word out. I don't know anyone who looks for B&B accomodations on Facebook. I think a good website and and SEO are the best ways to get the word out about your B&B.
Maybe I'm just old. But I think trying to advertise on social media is a waste of time..
You are exactly the guest we get. But I still make time for the social side because it's available to me. 90% of the fans on my FB page are not guests and probably never will be guests. But, they share my photos and things to do with people who might be guests. And it doesn't hurt to promote the town I live in and the events going on.Proud Texan said:When our guests visit us, it is our overall impression that they have enjoyed their experience here.

While not for everyone, it is another source to share the word about your B&B and the area around you. I do not write of myself and very rarely of the B&B but mostly about things of interest around the area, sometimes things to see on the trip here from one way or another.
Most of those that have connected on FB have not stayed here, but I know they share the pictures and information and I just got one reservation that I know first hand that came from this method..
I don't go on about myself, either. But some of the pix with the highest view rates are personal. Me, DH or the dog.copperhead said:While not for everyone, it is another source to share the word about your B&B and the area around you.
