As Autumn starts to creep in the interest in taking holidays and breaks decreases as families experience the cost of returning to school and psening some tiem in a B&B is the furthest thing from their mind. So the onus on you is to start promoting yourself online and show that your B&B has that warm friendly Autumn break feeling.
Many now offer a complimentary bottle of win on arrival. It is a small but nice touch. Show your open fire. If you don't have an open fire show welcoming warm coffee and breakfast image that may appeal to someone who just wants a tow night break
If there are events in your are then call the people organising them and offer an online booking offer for the duration of the event so people who may be having a drink may decide to saty over and not drive.
Do you offer a pick up service from your Bed and Breakfast. Anotehr small thing that may appeal and attract visitors to make contact and book.
Be constantly thinking and adding news items and offers to your website. It doesn't take a lot of effort but is worth it over time.

Inspiration Lodge - New Website
We were delighted to get the chance to design and develop the Inspiration Lodge Bed and Breakfast site in Dingle. It is a small simple site and shows the main features of their business. They are keen to add new information and with the WordPress CMS that they now have this is all under their control.

10 Seconds for Promote Your B&B
you may think that people spend many minutes looking at every page on your website but they don't. For B&Bs you need to them quickly - in seconds. Some say less than 10 seconds. I would say 7 seconds.
Look at your own website - do you think it does. What is missing? Are the fonts too small. Is the phone number easy to find. Can they email you in seconds?
Time up.

B&B Websites Never Updated
In a recent survey we did with over 50 B&Bs in the Cork area we found out that 92% of them never ever updated their website. We will be presenting full data on this in a few days but this is a worrying statistic.
We are contacting our respondents to see why this happens and dig deeper into the background to some of the questions.,
