Those are FABULOUS! You are so creative
haha ... Well, if I knew it was him (and now I'd do) ... SOLD. I notice what he said at the end of the video about bacon bits ... too funny. the name lends itself to so many gags. I love it that I first saw him in White Water Summer and 'hated' that character so him by extension. Then I saw She's Having a Baby and Flatliners ... reverse, reverse.

They look fun. I didn't go through the rate, but I am assuming your added values are marked up to cover their complete costs and that you will be increasing your revenue without discounting your room rate or undervaluing the added values.
Do you have a list of added values that can help you sell this package? I did see a list of what's included, but I can't say I am the type to choose a package unless it is a complete no brainer. I usually want to break it out and compare and your package has to provide enough added values that I can't calculate to convince me that I am going to get more even if the itemized break out of the basic components is less.

I always had 3 or more items in my packages so the guest could NOT break out what each item cost. The room rate was easy - it was posted on the web site. BUT the lunch, the bags the lunches were in, the dinners - those were things that could not be carved out. The sandwiches were on homemade bread - what kind depended on the meat chosen by the guest for the sandwich. There were small cans of Prin gles (chosen because they WERE in the cardboard cans, no crushing), Baby carrots and cucumber spears, a COLD bottle of water, 3 muffins from breakfast, napkins, and one of the lunch bags had a .5 oz bottle of waterless hand cleaner for cleaning before and after eating. The bags that had my logo and contact info printed on them were theirs. I was often told there was so much lunch they had enough for tomorrow. (And the lady coming in Monday told me she is still using her bag for lunches.)
My inn-coming will have a lunch for their journey to the next B & B Wednesday. They are going to get herb bread with Gruyere cheese (only because I bought some to try with the Monte Cristos that I did not get made) with my apple-pecan-sage topping and small bags of my granola instead of muffins. (@ $20 per pound, I will NOT be buying Gruyere cheese again)
Since I have a Council meeting Tuesday night as well as their dinner, they will be getting a tossed salad (lettuce, spinach, red cabbage, carrots, English cukes, sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and black olives), venison tenderloin cooked with baby carrots & onions in red wine (crock pot), baked sweet potato wedges, Gillum House rolls instead of the usual homemade French bread, and ice cream for dessert. (In the old days I made homemade manicotti with my own pasta)
I used to factor in $30 for the lunches, $15 for the bags, and $50 for the dinner. I also added in $10 for the intellectual property for the turn-by-turn routings I printed out for them. Had it not been buried in the package cost, would they have paid $50 for that dinner - probably not, even with the atmosphere of candlelight and the silver bell to ring when ready for the next course - they could go to a restaurant and get dinner for $25 - $30 here. Bur it was all wrapped together so they did not even blink. Compared to what that package would have cost where they were from, it was cheap.
