Weekends seem to be the money-making days for bed and breakfast inns. What if there was a way to book a room midweek, without investing a fortune in advertising? Even if you have to discount the rate, or pay a commission, 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
BedandBreakfast.com is offering online booking through their superior bed and breakfast directory. Any member of the site can have this set up to show availability for midweek, slow-month, or open rooms. A relatively low flat fee of 25% per booking can garner income and offer a trouble-free resource. Availability is distributed through their partner sites (Kayak.com and SideStep.com to name two); all you do is keep availability up to date.
A bright green “Book It” button next to your listing shows potential guests right where to go. With no alterations to your website needed, this can be an easy way to fill empty rooms without a large investment.
If you aren’t already a bedandbreakfast.com member, contact them today at sales@bedandbreakfast.com or 512-322-2710 to sign up. Your Blizzard Internet Marketing Promotion representative can also set this up for you.
