We were going to do this as well. I loved the idea and we had a box of 250 Christmas cards left from the original owners that were just going to waste. The addressing part is tough. Because you do not have anyone's name except the person who made the rez (and WHY do they always do that???) address it to that person. And next year? ASK for the other person's name at check-in. ('And you are...?')Thank you for your opinion, but we are doing this.
We don't have addresses for ALL our guests and we already had the cards printed. Basically it's just a simple, postcard-type card that's 3.5x8.5. It's being sent with our new brochure as a way to reach out to our existing clientele. It's our first year and we want to do this to encourage them to return. We've had very little return business from previous owners (maybe 10 in all), so this is important to us.
So, did you have a suggestion on how to address the envelope?.
Why we didn't do it...not all of our guests are Christian and I didn't always know who that might be after the fact. We didn't like all of our guests. It was not a practice we felt we could keep up with over the years. We could not be sure that the person who showed up with the guest was the person who should have been there.
