Coming soon to a screen near you...
PAII's new website, that is! This announcement is both a woo-hoo and a caveat ... no matter how meticulous the preparation to move massive amounts of information is, there are likely to be a few oopsies! Don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter a problem using the site - we welcome your suggestions for content and enhancements too. All of the useful, educational information that you are accustomed to is accessible and well-organized. We've curated information, keeping the relevant and most current. For security purposes, no credit card information transfers, so when you are invoiced (for your monthly or annual dues, for example), you'll enter in your credit card information. When you see the new site, you'll access your member record by a user name which is your email initially. You also may notice a format change in your weekly communications from us - we'll be using "Constant Contact" in conjunction with the new website.
In this week's News You Can Use, it's refreshing to read advice like this: Be authentic! Showcase what you're all about and drop what you're not. That's the recommendation from Cloudbeds when it comes to using Pinterest for your business. They further note: Hospitality brands are often fueled by passion, so focus on how and what got you to this point. We appreciated the step-by-step walk thru of how to use Pinterest and the good news for busy innkeepers is that unlike other social media platforms, it's not necessary to post every day - after you get started, about an hour per week is all that's needed. Read more in How Hospitality Brands Can Use Pinterest Like the Pros and be sure to catch the Cloudbeds sessions at the PAII Innkeeping Conference & Trade Show!
Conference Update: We will be setting up a ridesharing option for conference attendees to sign up for rideshares to and from the airport to the conference facilities. More information will be forthcoming in the next Innfo Monthly Newsletter in 2 weeks.
'til next time, Kris Ullmer, PAII Executive Director
