I'd like to figure out how I could "upgrade" their stay without losing money. Any ideas?
What would be the dollar amount of a discount you would offer? If a discount has been given, I wouldn't do anything else. BUT, if no discount and you want to enhance the stay in a meaningful, albeit cheap way, I am STILL talking about a tiny bottle of champagne the innkeepers left in the firdge for me when I said it was my anniversary. My guess is they spent, maybe, $6-$7 and probably not because they probably bought by the caseload!
Bought them MILES of publicity from me.
So, a nice cheap 'upgrade' or 'thanks for being a sport'. And it is probably less than you would have offered for a discount.
Other ideas:
- small box of local chocolates
- flowers you might have in the yard, nicely arranged in their room
- tix to some local event that you get for a discounted price
