Internet Intensives

BedandBreakfast.com, RezOvation and Expedia, Inc. hit the road to bring you current and comprehensive information about Internet marketing, online reservations, yield management, and property management software. From August 2006 through March 2007, we hosted 10 workshops for almost 600 innkeepers, and a good time was had by all. (For a full schedule of upcoming B&B conferences, please see our events calendar.)

We surveyed the participants and got some great suggestions to improve future workshops. Overall, the Internet Intensives were very well-received, with 88% of respondents saying they would recommend the experience to other innkeepers. More than 75% said they were either "very" or "extremely" satisfied with the speakers. Here are a few comments from the Charlotte, NC, workshop:

  • "Your workshop leaders are approachable, helpful, and knowledgeable – loved the informative tidbits added to each presentation!"
  • "The workshop speakers were animated and excited about the products. It was not boring for a moment."
  • "I had many doubts and concerns about online reservations. They were answered, and I now see it is the way to go."
  • "It is obvious that your presenters are well-versed in their material ... this was a comfortable learning experience."


Here are the confirmed dates for the spring and summer Internet Intensives:

Can’t get away from the inn? We’ll bring a workshop right to your own computer! We’d be happy to set up one-hour workshops on RezOvation products, maximizing your BedandBreakfast.com membership, and BedandBreakfast.com Online Reservations.

Do you know of a good location for an Internet Intensive? We are more than happy to work with the state and national associations to bring more value to conferences by offering an Internet Intensive in conjunction with the kick-off of the conference. Please contact Sandy Soule at Sandy@BedandBreakfast.com if you'd like us to come to your state/regional conference, or if you'd like to host an Intensive.
