Power that Be wants things that cannot be achieved at the end of a season. Just sent e-mail to become "group" with the event center (which we wanted to do when we first arrived) and get at least 4 events happening before end of year. This power has burned many birdges in town with their powers that be within the years that it was owned and now would like the town to hold events there but they are not bitting at the bit for this because they have had enough of it.
We now have to increase room revenue 50% for Nov. and Dec.---this is the SLOWEST time of the year, we are not in a DESTINATION area other than one large festival in October that is the only sure thing that will bring people into this town....Nov?! Dec?! since being innkeepers these months are not the busiest months of the year. Also wants some "specials" as in mystery weekend, girlfriend weekend...etc..
This was not known to us until the last couple days and its already September. To let everyone know that because of the reputation of this person in town which is not liked much and now that we are at the end of the season and has gone through many innkeepers and directors in at least 6 years...it says alot on the suggestions this person takes from the people that work for him/her; won't take advise from staff or anyone else...meaning its got to be one way or no way.
Now we have been called to give advise on how to increase the revenue in a town that is very depressed and a main street that is very thin and just now starting to revitalize.
We would welcome all suggestions so we can give solid advise with proven evidence to accomplish this "goal" that has been implemented half way through the year. Yes, we have our feelers out there.
Thank you in advance.
