PAII News You Can Use 7-28-2015

Hot August Deal Coming Soon
If you’ve been a PAII member for awhile, you know the drill - AUGUST is when the ‘hot deal’ for the Innkeeper Conference is announced.  And, if you’re new to PAII – you now know to be on the lookout for the best conference rate. We’re very excited to begin sharing the conference line-up and details with you!
In this News You Can Use:
Facebook Gets Physical With Beacons …
I was planning on a quick read of this particular article when I noticed the Skift “Megatrends Shaping Travel In 2015” magazine link.  I clicked - and now that they have my email, I suspect I’ll be hearing from them again. The ‘big three’ trends – mobile, seamless, and experiential – are not news to innkeepers. Paging thru the magazine, I especially liked the article BUSINESS TRAVELERS ADOPT NEW RULES FOR TRAVEL: “bleisure” – the merging of business & leisure travel combines productivity, opportunity, and new experiences. While the article had a ‘travel by air’ focus, the trend shows business travelers extending their trip by using personal days  or bringing a family member, all to mix business w/pleasure.  Providing an attractive ‘business rate’ just could pay a nice dividend!
Online Hotel Review TrendsEvery day, hundreds of thousands of reviews get published and the top 8 trends are shared here.  These once again confirm that guests trust the observations of other guests far more that what we say about our own properties! And now the context of the comment  – length of stay, single/couple, leisure/business trip etc. plays an important role
From PAII’s Video Archives
YouTube is the #2 search engine, after Google. What are viewers searching for? Things to do in a particular area, how to make eggs benedict, guest testimonials, what’s special about your inn.   Will viewers find a video about your inn? Video Marketing 101 (from PAII’s 2014 Innkeeping Show) shows you tips on making (producing) videos to market the unique personality of your inn – how to show, not tell.  Both do-it-yourself and hire-a-pro tips are covered.  And, a few minutes in, you’ll be treated to a Better Way To Stay classic video – picture the unamused guest blowing up an air mattress!

Our featured recipe from Pure MichiganA gluten-free cake with the summer-citrus freshness of clementines?  Definitely worth firing up the oven! All guests at the Dove Nest B&B in Michigan enjoy this treat.
‘til next week!

Airbnb – Part 5  - To list or not to list
Anyone who thinks Airbnb is not having an adverse effect on legal B&Bs is naïve.  A company that publically boasted at a Government Workshop that they had 25 Million stays in one year (yeah – that’s Million) is definitely having an impact on the entire lodging industry – especially B&Bs, because they even call themselves “bnbs”  
So YES, Airbnb (plus Homeaway and VRBO) are impacting YOUR business because some of them aren’t paying taxes, some of them don’t comply with the laws, ordinances and regulations that you have to, and because, if you are not listed on Airbnb, YOU aren’t getting a share of that 25 Million stays.  PAII can help you address these issue – but that’s another topic.

So, should you list on Airbnb – YES!    Get your share of the 25 Million stays!  Remember, in comparison to the OTAs and B&B Web Sites – listing on Airbnb is dirt cheap – there is no charge for the listing (what is B&B.COM or TripAdvisor costing you).   And think, only a 3% Commission (What is Expedia or Kayak charging you).  Do you have to cut your prices NO (although Airbnb will try to convince you otherwise).   Think of Airbnb as just another OTA – a necessary, but less expensive, evil.  Oh, and when you list, make sure you tell all those prospective guests that you are a LEGAL B&B and that you offer a level of service, luxury and safety well beyond what they might find in other listings.

Conference Partner Spotlight ThinkReservations

ThinkReservations is a property management system with “a unique ecosystem of proven business management solutions, integrated payment processing, world-class support, and direct connectivity with channels such as Booking.com, Expedia, and TripAdvisor.”

CEO Richard Aday, who is also the Principal Engineer of ThinkReservations, says the genesis of their business was a gap they identified between the tools that small lodging was using versus what was possible. 

“We were confident that we could help the small lodging industry improve their business by taking advantage of technology,” says Richard, who has an extensive background in working at companies like Amazon.com, Microsoft and IBM.

One industry challenge Richard sees is the lack of yield management strategies. He believes that more innkeepers should vary pricing based on the ebbs and flows of your market to maximize revenue.

“Offering a simple pricing structure for your rooms is easy for you and your staff to remember, but there is a big chance you're leaving money on the table.  Instead, consider varying your price based on supply and demand. This is something that can be done manually every week or two, if necessary.  Look into your property management system to see if they support automatic Yield Management rules so that you can automate how the price should change based on occupancy,” he says.

What Richard loves about our industry: “My favorite thing about the B&B community are the people I get to interact with, followed closely by the wonderful breakfasts I've enjoyed.  The industry is a collection of very interesting people --- no two innkeepers are the same.  Everyone has a story, and they will easily share it. Did I mention breakfast yet?  It's easily my favorite meal!”

PAII News You Can Use 7-21-2015

WHEN you send an email can be as important as WHAT your email says, reveals Types of Emails Guests are Most Likely to Open. It makes sense that a ‘pre-arrival’ email is most opened – and this may be the message in which you choose to invest more time and relay additional information.

Soon we’ll be sending you a ‘pre-arrival’ email – with your opportunity to register for the 2016 Innkeeping Conference in Austin TX (January 10-14) at the lowest rate! New this year is a payment plan … we want to make it as easy as possible for innkeepers to get together with each other and industry partners to learn and laugh.
How many times have you answered the same old question? If those questions are coming via your facebook page, you may soon be able to save/send a canned response that is personalized. Nice!  Currently in testing, you may read more at Facebook is Testing Saved Replies.

VIDEO: Profit from Packaging (non-room revenue) – guests like a ‘good deal’ even more than a discount, and in our time-starved society, they’ll pay extra for you to make plans / put together a package. This video from PAII’s 2014 Innkeeping conference shares creative ways to get your inn’s brand into the guest’s hand – it goes beyond mugs and wine glasses to pet dishes, and using what you sell and selling what you use.  And, consider promoting the package in your ‘pre-arrival’ guest email!  (Videos are always accessible to PAII members as they’re on the Innkeeping.org website.)

Here at PAII, we’ve scheduled an email communication to you once per week; your News You Can Use arrives on Tuesday; the Member’s Innfo Monthly arrives on the 15th (in lieu of the News for that week); and the Innkeeping NOW quarterly arrives mid-month, in lieu of the Member’s Monthly.  Our mission is to provide timely information, delivered conveniently to you!

‘til next week

Airbnb – Part 4    Airbnb “Terms of Service”
If you are an Airbnb User or an Airbnb Host you just received a notice from Airbnb to review their updated Terms of Service.  Talk about reading the “fine print” – this is a real eye test.  You can bet that the hoard of lawyers that this 24 Billion Dollar Company has have covered themselves every possible way they can.  However, if you are a host or user you better read them over carefully
-18 Pages – Terms of Service.  Make sure you also compare the new Terms with the old Terms (17 Pages).  Some interesting changes. 
-Don’t forget to also read all the imbedded “Policies” and other Terms and Conditions included with links in the basic Terms
-24 Pages - Privacy Policy
-19 Pages - Host Guarantee Terms and Conditions  
-10 Pages – Policies and Community Guidelines which included:
----Airbnb Extenuating Circumstances Policy
----Guest Refund policy
§  And Many more
-5 Pages – Home Safety Program
-2 Pages – Copyright Policy
-And more
If you were an Airbnb Host wouldn’t it be a whole lot easier to just “get legal” with the fed, state and local governments.  Might save a lot of eye damage from reading all the “fine print”,   Ask PAII, we can help, and it’s easy!

Conference Partner Spotlight Interim Innkeepers Network

“We love helping innkeepers get some time off for themselves,” says Lynda Lerner of Interim Innkeepers Network (IIN), this week’s featured exhibitor. That sentiment, along with their commitment to the innkeeping profession and its members is what energizes their organization.

Interim Innkeepers Network provides bed and breakfast inn owners a go-to place to find temporary or long term innkeeping management assistance. They are not a placement service – rather a referral network. They can help to bridge a gap with an Interim Innkeeper who can ensure uninterrupted service for an inn when its management must be away, taking care of everything from processing reservations to serving a full breakfast. Some members provide training for those considering careers in the Bed and Breakfast industry and/or as interim innkeepers. 

When asked what changes they see in the industry, Lynda pointed to two trends they have observed. First, while many innkeepers use their services for short stints, they are seeing more long term assignments from innkeepers for a  variety of reasons. Secondly, they see that more inns are now run by someone other than the owner.

IIN serves over 40 states across the country so they are familiar with regional differences as well as common needs. Lynda sees the biggest challenge for inns today is, “to remain competitive in their local markets.”


“Innkeepers need time to recharge their own batteries but be able to leave their B&B in capable professional hands,” she says. “It is rewarding to see the Innkeeper return with renewed zest for the business they love.”

Photography Entries must be taken by the innkeepers or staff. If an innkeeper or a staff member is a professional photographer, entries to the competition will be allowed, but the information needs to be disclosed when the photo(s) are submitted. Photos taken by professional photographers on behalf of a Bed and Breakfast are not valid photo submissions, and will be cause for disqualification.

If you choose to include people in your submission, you are responsible for obtaining the necessary written photo releases from the individuals depicted, and must be able to provide copies of those releases to the Professional Association of Innkeepers International with submission of the photo entries. Entries submitted without written permission of the subjects will not be entered into submissions or the contest, and will not be promoted in any way online.

Photo captions must accompany all submissions, and should include the subject of the image, the location the image was taken, and the name of the photographer(s).

To ensure eligibility for the contest all entries must have a resolution of 6 million pixels (6 megapixels) or greater to be made available upon request.

You must be able to disclose when and where the photo appeared to the Professional Association of Innkeepers International upon request.

Submissions may be watermarked if desired, but the watermark should be inconspicuous enough to not interfere with the judging of the photo.

Images will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit. The judges are a panel of independent professional photographers.

PAII News You Can Use 7-7-2015

Greetings PAII Members, Former Members and Not-Yet Members:
We appreciate your kind words and encouragement for PAII’s weekly communication to you – and we welcome your comments and suggestions for future topics.  As mentioned recently, we’ll begin the News You Can Use with an update on the issues affecting the ‘level playing field’ for all lodging properties.

Attracting Corporate Travelers to B&Bs
What innkeeper doesn’t welcome the mid-week business traveler? What is needed to attract and retain business travelers? Let’s get the answer directly from a business traveler who provides a list of must-have amenities including an ironing board, large-enough desk, surge protectors, luggage racks, and a printer/copier. Certainly do-able!  We’ll also make a suggestion on how to get the word out: add your B&B to your state/regional B&B association’s “find an inn for business travel” websearch and sign up / accept the government employee rate - consider it a marketing investment.

Soon You Can Slide Into Twitter DMs…
Oh what a relief! (and that’s 140-14 = 126 characters remaining) Twitter announced the removal of the 140 character limit in Direct Messages beginning in July.  Read the recommendations to ensure all your applications and services can handle these longer format messages.

How Associations can use Social Media…
I’m marking Wednesday July 8 at 2 pm EST on my calendar – and I’m expecting B&B Association executives / officers to join me at this webinar:   How Associations can use Social Media to help market their members.  While innkeepers struggle to find the time to use Social Media – as do Association Leaders – there are additional challenges for leaders.  Where do we get the copy? How do we ‘spread the wealth’ among members? How to post text that is enticing and not overtly promotional? Which sites are worth the investment of time?  How can we maximize distribution?  SOME of these will be addressed at the webinar – let’s get a discussion going on the Key Leaders forum and learn what’s been successful / not so much - from each other!

Next week – to keep to our regular schedule of one communication per week, watch for your Member’s Monthly e-magazine on July 15th.
‘til next week, Kris Ullmer, PAII Executive Director
