Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards Program

Publicity for the 2004 Best of BedandBreakfast.com awards netted over seven million page impressions. For 2005 we want to double or triple the number of award-winning inns, but can do so only if you encourage guests to vote by adding the voting badge to your website, and by distributing voting forms. Voting for the 2005 awards is well underway, and over 6000 votes have already been tallied. Don't miss out on this great B&B marketing opportunity!
