    Thinking about starting a B&B -- Help Please.

    This is a great idea. When I first started, I had a mentor, who owned a B&B a few blocks from me. She was so helpful. Eventually I joined the local B&B association, who are very supportive; I'm still a member. Also, the suggestion to go to an aspiring innkeepers workshop is good, and many of the...

    Hot Sheets! Alexander Basek asks: Who should be greener, hotels or their guests?

    In 15 years, I have never had a guest ask me for clean sheets every day, although I would consider it for $250 a night! I really think it's ridiculous though, very few people chage their own sheets that often. At our Inn, we change them every three days; the towels every other day; and the...

    Are Yellow Page Ads Antiquated in This Day and Age?

    I've been in business 15 years and haven't placed an ad in the yellow pages in around 12 years. No one here in Louisville does. We are all over the internet and googling will bring us all up on the internet. It's a technological world!!

There is a lot of competition with the hotels for business traffic, so this is what we offer our business visitors, and I would love it...

    New Marketing Ideas for 2009

    We only do a Tea when we get a call for one. Then, we schedule it at a time that is convenient for both the customer and ourselves. Many times a group will come here from a small nearby town and stay all night, so we can combine our teaparties with the B&B business. We customize all our Teas and...

    New Marketing Ideas for 2009

    I will definitely be using blogging, from now on. I started two blogs two months ago and already they have begun to generate some interest from readers.
