We got press!!! Totally unexpected!

This article is all over Facebook today. Town #3 is us and we got mentioned as "the B&B experience."
We didn't know it was coming! I only learned about it when someone posted it to our Inn Page on FB. Pretty darned excited!

You are awesome BeachHouse! Well done.

Do places like this have mystery shoppers? I honestly don't have any idea how they found us or why they highlighted us. I'll take it, though. No argument!

Now this is what I would do - share it everywhere you can! Put it on your website:

"We're #3 on the list of 24 Small New England Towns You Absolutely Need To Visit"[/h3]
Blog WHY people need to visit, and use a link to this article, and mention.
A list of things to see and do, with a link to this article, and mention.

I'll bet they just relied on your good TA rating.
Congrats!

Agreed. The photos are from TA as well.
Yes they are #1 of the HOTELS in this town.
Confusing as you say B&B, but listed as a hotel. I think you mentioned this before Beachhouse. Either way, keep it like it is as you show at the top, even with a fraction of the reviews the other "hotels" have!
Goes to show a few GREAT reviews go further than a few hundred good and great reviews, or is it because Beachhouse reviews are more current than the others...could be that too!
If anyone understands the new algorhythm of TA please chime in.

Dumm Di Duum (that's me trying to do a drum roll) super mega congrats!

Thanks all! I could not be more excited. I have printed the article for our 'press scrapbook.' (It's an old fashioned paper based thing.)
We paid for an article in a local ad mag and we are being interviewed for an article on home improvement for a local home mag today.
So we will have three.
I'm planning to send the home improvement article to Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living, Yankee, HGTV and anyone else I can think of. Worth a try, eh?

Congratulations!!! May the reservation system buzzzzzzzzz

Definitely send it - you have nothing to lose other than the cost of stamp & envelope.

That's fabulous!! Also send it to your local papers. They tend to print anything that other publications have printed (less work for them).

That is great! You are building a successful business for sure!

Congrats! That's a wonderful boost! Make sure you put a link on your website to the article and blog it.

Sweet Surprise!!! Bet your bookings jump!
