5 TIPS ON ADVERTISING BASICS
1. Be consistent in your ad message and style, including business cards, letterhead, envelopes, invoices, signs, banners, etc.
2. Newspapers, radio and TV stations are helpful in producing the ad that will be running with them.
3. While word of mouth advertising has been around a long time, it falls short of being able to attract the number of customers needed for a successful business.
4. Promote benefits rather than features. A benefit is the emotional satisfaction your Inn provides, or a tangible performance characteristic.
5. Know your competitors. Knowing everything about your competitor is as important as knowing everything about your own Inn.
We, as board members of Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns are continually striving to improve our member benefits and promote your Inns. Not only are we continuing to develop our website, we are also developing social networking within Member Inns to help understand the needs of our Member Inns and seek ways to meet those needs. Your Board of Directors will be meeting on July 19 & 20, 2009 at The Cypress Bed & Breakfast in Sarasota, Fl. If there are issues you would like us to discuss or bring to the attention of the Board, we would like to hear from you.
As you know, we are launching the ability to put your videos about your Inn on our website. This icon should be available to you in about two weeks. We will let you know via email when this feature is live. We would also like to remind you to please put area events on the FBBI site. This is a great tool for guests to find what's happening in your area and seek out your Inn as the place to stay while visiting the area event. This is an under utilized tool that you can be taking advantage of.
Patricia Detwiler, President - FBBI
