Innkeeper's Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Q: How do I make sure my special packages are timely and up-to-date - wherever they appear? A: Use BBOnline's free Specials Link code! It's not easy keeping your special package information up-to-date, particularly if you rotate a variety of specials to attract guests. If your inn has its own web site, and you also put specials on another Internet B & B service, keeping everything current can get complicated. Out-of-date specials are confusing for potential guests, and frustrating for the innkeeper who keeps getting requests for promotions that have ended. At BBOnline, we give you direct control over your specials through the Innkeeper Update System, so you can add, drop or modify a special yourself at any time. If you prefer let us handle them, our Update Team is always available to take care of specials for you at no charge. Either way, the specials you post on BBOnline rarely take more than a day to go "live" all across the site. Many innkeepers have difficulty getting timely updates on their own sites. If your webmaster is hard to reach, or too busy to handle your updates, you could miss out on short-time opportunities like Mother's Day or Last Minute Cancellations. Some webmasters even charge by the hour for updates - which can take the profit out of special package promotions. Here's help: A custom copy of all current specials you place on Bed & Breakfast Inns ONLINE can be displayed through a link on your inn's site automatically - for free!
NOTE: Replace **STATE-PROVINCE** with your two-letter code, and **BBONLINEID** (asterisks and all) with your BBOnline ID
To see how this would work from an actual website, visit our fictitious inn, the Rest With Us Bed & Breakfast, which we chose to locate in Anchorage, AK because you can play golf there until midnight in the summer! In the Specials Link code we replaced **STATE-PROVINCE** with ak and we replaced **BBONLINEID** with restwithus The "Close this Window" button at the bottom of the specials page closes the pop-up, and the viewer returns to your web site. Feel free to add the link to your website to display the specials that you have posted on BBOnline, at No Extra Charge! If you have any problems with the code please email randy@bbonline.com
