    No Smoking Policies- Can you share yours?

    If you are 100% smoke-free it should include the porch too. I don't want guests walking past a smokey smelling porch with people smoking out front. It's like going to a bar / restaurant and having to walk through the smoking section to get to the non-smoking section. It doesn't make sense. I...

    An easy way to stay in touch with your guests.

    VERY interesting point! :) I guess having a spot for them to say it's OK to mail them follow-up info is a good idea.

    Do you eat with your guests?

    I do agree with you, if they ask me to sit and visit I will. I'm very friendly to them. I just know some people want their own time and I don't force myself on them and make them feel like they have to keep me company.

    Branding your B&B

    I'm floored to be honest with you. You posted on my other topic you thought $1 for a follow-up was too much and now you would take the time or spend money as a thank you. I hope you are getting tons of business. I'm not trying to make anyone angry, just a little confused with this notion. It...

    Do you eat with your guests?

    I feel it's their time away and I'm not there to butt in. It's like a waiter or a waitress staying a little too long at your table. You want your time and don't need a stragner joining in. Jenny

    New SCAM!

    There is also the overpay scam if you are selling something or they are paying with a check. They mail you a check with more money than requested on it and before you realize it's fake, they have you WesternUnion back the difference. By the time the person gets word from the bank that the check...

    Check your Bed and Breakfast Google Map

    I belive you can also delete your home address from the Google maps if you'd like. It's nice if your other home address is listed and you don't want to be. They have drive by views in some areas too. Jenny

    Branding your B&B

    I already love this place. I'm told by one person I'm stupid for sending our cards and I mention brownies on another thread and I'm told I'm pitching and a liar. WOW! What a great group. I can't mention to Bill how I use the service he uses? Simply amazing people here. I post on a thread on a...

    An easy way to stay in touch with your guests.

    The system lets me import all my contacts. All I have to do is type out one card, tell them where I want it to insert their name in the message, type out the message and save it in a campaign. I select the list I'd like to send it to and hit send. It makes it look like I handwrote all 2,000...

    An easy way to stay in touch with your guests.

    It did wonders for my business. $1 a card that takes as much time as typing out an email works for me. Would $1 in marketing that can book you a room for a couple of nights be worth the investment? I'd say YES to that one. They get the nice greeting card in the mail that makes it look like I...

    Hi Bill, I just posted about using Send Out Cards. Read my post here: https://www.innspiring.com/node/4572 Try putting their photos on the cards too. Did you send their brownies yet? They are incredible! Jenny

    An easy way to stay in touch with your guests.

    Hello, I'm new to this forum and happy to be here. I'm new to this internet thing and usually don't like putting my info online much. It's nice to find a group with so many people in the same boat I'm in. I wanted to share a marketing idea with you that I use. Within the past few months I was...
