    More men for online reservations? If you were to scroll down the names on online reservations (only), what % would be male?

    Do you all get more men making online reservations?

    I'm having a "what should I do next with so much to do" moment. And I have a question I think you all could help me with. Over the past 6 months since opening, we've seen about 75-80% of our online reservations completed by men (or at least they sign up under the man's name). I was wondering...

    Shower traction tile cleaning tips?

    I'm really regretting my tile decision for our bathroom showers. We have a tile floor to the shower. 8x8 white tiles, raised like a hershey bar in little 2 inch squares with intentional pocking or rough surface for traction. The issue - we are in an area for outdoor activities - hiking...

    Grrr...I find out I'm annoying

    We just opened and for the past couple weeks, this potential guest has been flirting with staying at our inn...so many emails, and an offer of how she would like to pay in an alternative breakdown - a 5% reservation fee instead of the whole shebang up front. End of story, she ends up not...

    Guest trouble with using the web to pay...hmmm???

    So, we're opening within a month, and I've gotten my first couple reservations ...Yay! I think. We're in a small, remote village. I don't want to worry about payments and their complication, so I've said that we will charge for the reservation at the time of the booking. This lets me...

    Great reference book for web marketing

    Just got back from checking the building progress on our inn. While in the airport, I picked up this really fantastic book on web marketing covering some basic stuff in depth from SEO to facebook to twitter to videos. I usually don't get excited about books or products, but this was really...

    You're opening an inn in another country - what to put in your suitcase?

    I'm flying down to visit my DH and see how construction is going for our inn ( Panama - focuses on ecotourism). We're planning on buying most items in country and not ship goods, but when I fly down for my upcoming visit, I'd like to be able to shuttle a couple of things with me that may be...

    Has anyone tried to put together their website before their inn was complete?

    I'm trying to get our website up, though our inn is still under construction. I want to have a page about our rooms with a room description and a picture (in the future, of the room, of course). What have others done for a room pictures if you don't have a room? I was thinking of taking a...

    Wordpress theme vendor recommendations

    So to create your inn's website, you have the option of having someone else do it, or doing it yourself. If you do it yourself, you have an array of frameworks to use- you can use WordPress, or HTML or what have you. For those of you who create your own website with a WP theme, do you have any...

    Graceful and effective competition and integration

    After perusing the message boards until 2 last night, thought I'd introduce myself and ask for input. We're building a small (4 room, expadable to 6) inn in Panama, next to a National Park in a small town (pop 3000) - hopefully opening this summer. I'm a biologist, and in time, we want to pair...
