We've talked about facebook and what, if anything, it actually does for bookings. Well, I just got my first definitive facebook booking. By that, I mean when the guest filled out the online booking form, they entered "facebook" in the "How did you hear about us?" field. That's a first here!
The guest is not a fan of my B&B page so they heard about us through other pages. Some of our DMO's and local businesses are on facebook and we actively promote and cross-promote each other. This, to me, is how to leverage this particular medium. Not by just having my own stand-alone page talking only about me and what's going on right here on my property, but by networking to expand my reach and hopefully come to the attention of a broader, engaged audience.
Kinda nice to know that one of the biggest time-wasters on the web is not a COMPLETE waste of my time.
Anyone else have tips or strategies to get the most out of fb? Please share!
