Want to know the number 1 rule of tourism marketing on the internet? Good Photos Increase Bookings.
Now that doesn’t sound like much of a secret, does it? But surprisingly, almost half of all tourism marketing, especially in the lodging market (B&B’s, Inns, small hotels, etc.) don’t follow this very simple advice.
BedBreakfastTraveler.com and the Instant World Booking network have now made it much easier for you to increase bookings with excellent photos. We now offer unlimited photos for your online listing. That’s right — Unlimited! This feature is new, it’s free, and as always, maintaining a listing with the BedBreakfastTraveler.com is free.
Check out half of the small bed and breakfast websites on the internet. Photos sell rooms! We can’t over-emphasize this simple concept. Look further to the competing booking services around the web, especially those catering to the bed and breakfast and inn market. They offer maybe half a dozen photos or so for a bed and breakfast listing, and their display size is a small image barely larger than a thumbnail. This does very little to sell your rooms and beds. What’s worse? These services are expensive!
If you’re familiar with BedBreakfastTraveler.com, then you already know that we lead the competition in innovative technology. And what’s more simple (yet innovative) than offering unlimited photos for free? No other service offers this, and they know many properties will be willing to pay large membership fees if they did. Don’t pay. Try BedBreakfastTraveler.com.
If you’ve been advertising your bed and breakfast or inn on the internet for a while, you know that good photos do increase sales. And, the more photos you have the better. Don’t include just photos of your guestrooms, but of all common areas of your property, inside and out. Give a real sense of what it’s like to stay in your hotel. And what about your environment? Include photos of the surrounding neighborhood and views from your property. This really sells rooms.
To add your photos, simply sign in to your listing at BedBreakfastTraveler.com, and proceed to the MANAGE PHOTOS page. You can upload an unlimited number of images. And, you can submit images as large as 8MB! No more re-sizing and touching up your photos. Our enhanced system will handle that for you. As a bonus, don’t worry about the format of your pictures, you can now submit JPEG/JPG, PNG, and GIF images.
So get online today, and add your photos. Remember, good photos increase reservations. If it’s been awhile since you’ve refreshed your pics, get your camera out, and start taking new photos.
As always, Instant World Booking looks forward to seeing you on the web. To get listed with our network, simply go to:
