No, 7% of the business comes from this source. I tried explaining it better in the post to seashanty why it is tough to drop out, and the group knows that so they feel no need to keep the rates in line with what businesses can afford. They lost a lot of big accounts last year because the big...

There is also a separate B&B rate at $200/room (you can use that if it works out better, for me it doesn't). If I count all the rooms (and not just the year round rooms) the fee is way more. If I only count the year round rooms it's the same fee. That's why I'm looking at chambers in the...

East coast? That's what I thought. ME, NH, VT. Unless that's someone else. Eek.

Because the organization only gave everyone until Dec 1 to pay up or get out (and we just got the paperwork today), I have to make the decision without having a chance to get input. If I choose wrong and the inn is off this listing for a year, it may not work to the inn's advantage. I am...

Never rent your own room out. That is just unbeleivable when I see that happening. There are a couple of places near here where the owners do that. Sleep on the floor in the attic or something. They seriously believe the extra $2000 is worht it. Right now an extra $2000 would be nice, but not...

The answer would be based on how many calls she/we got this year citing finding us using this resource. Keeping track is catch as catch can but it looks like about 7% of the business came from callers who said they found the inn using this resource. It does mean that 93% comes from elsewhere...

This is the time of year when local memberships come due. While my aunt is away, I am reviewing these memberships and their pricing. The one big local membership she has the inn listed with raised their rates by 15% this year. Looking over this year's room receipts, I can see that this...

Amusing that their site contains this in the Terms and Conditions, as this is the only way they could have gotten the info posted in the first place: 13. LINKING, FRAMING, MIRRORING, SCRAPING, DATA-MINING OR POSTINGS Links to the Web Sites without the express written permission of IWE are...

But the plastic wrap is never removed. I've never seen them replace the plastic wrap, even when I see them taking all the tools and trays away. And now you get glasses to wear. Are those disinfected? The worst germs are kid germs anyway. Little germ factories. The sickest I've ever been here is...

The top hotspots for germs, up to 48 hours after the sneezey sniffler has left the building...

At a certain price point price doesn't matter. When I looked into a 'babymoon' package for a friend, it was over $2000 for ONE night in NYC. A similar package in Maine was $450 for 2 nights. The NY one you were paying for the name-Mandarin. The Maine one you were paying for the...

I only used the ones in the list and a few I remembered from a previous job! Otherwise it would have been paragraphs!

We have that! Birds. Lots of stuffed birds in glass cases. It's creepy in the dead of the night. And try dusting the ones not under glass. My cousin had her deceased dog stuffed. It's in her parlor, right on the hearth where he always slept. Weird.

But can you see the email address she sent the email from? Looks like she's trying to get those other people to pay her to increase their web presence and her way of doing that is to buy links from places she has found the keywords those other folks need. So a weaver gets linked to a place that...

2 sentences: I personally believe, at the end of the day, at this moment in time and with all due respect to those not on board the solutioning of this fairly unique problem, that we absolutely can get more eyeballs on this with 24/7 diligence even though we shouldn't of resourced this offline...
