Dear Innmates, my handsome hubby and I are wannabees and we have been talking to some folks who own a very charming small bed and breakfast. They are new. We are new. It is small, four bedroom. (Room to expand to seven eventually) Small town. The place is not yet open, but soon will be. There is tons of talent, enthusiasm, and camaraderie in the mix. Buttkiss in actual innkeeping experience. If we take this leap with them, what can we do to insure that the Inn has the best chance possible in it's first year?
1. How can we up the chances for success? My current list would be:
Great website with online reservation capabilities.
Pleasant and prompt phone response to those who call.
The best experience possible for those who come in the door.
Polite requests for positive TA reviews from those who are vocal about how much they liked their stay.
Clean rooms and yummy breakfast.
What else do you think should be on this list?
2. What can we do to make the first year, better, easier, more profitable? How do we best work both hard and smart?
