Promoting the Industry

One of the best ways to promote your property is to attract media and consumer attention with inviting seasonal promotions. And the easiest place to publicize them is on our Special Deals page. Here's how:

Here's the free deal for Silver members and up:

  • Log in with your property ID and password, then click the "specials" link on the left-hand side of the page.
  • Under "Special Summary," click the theme of your choice (see below) and combine a promotional rate with whatever tempting treats or special event tickets your guests might enjoy--it's up to you.
  • Remember that creative offerings are more likely to attract media attention -- they make a better story.
  • To see the specials that have already been posted by your fellow innkeepers, visit our Specials page and click the drop down box marked "Select Special."

Bronze member??? Don't miss out on these specials. Try our 100 percent risk-free upgrade guarantee.

Train Lovers are Special

  Railfans of the world unite! If your inn is near a historic train route, a railroading museum, a rails-to-trails path, or has a history that railfans would enjoy, we encourage you to post a Train Lovers are Special package. Remember that these special packages can be value-added, not discount packages, and may be as simple as including the cost of two dinner-train tickets in the package price (although it doesn't hurt to get a little creative).
If we get enough specials posted, our public relations agency will use it as an angle for some publicity for the participating inns. Email details to InnkeeperNews@BedandBreakfast.com as well. Deadline for posting specials is May 31,2002.
