RE: innkeeping: Internet marketing

["Jeff Reed (Volt Comp) (Exchange)" <a-jeffre@Exchange.Microsoft.com>]

You can check out one of our web sites at 
http://www.wtp.net/go/paradise; another popular one is 
http://www.wtp.net/go/goodrx. Now remember, web advertising does show 
off a B&B more than traditional print media, so any success is partly 
due to the B&B itself (and its location). Nonetheless, if you want to 
talk to the Innkeeper of the Paradise Gateway B&B about Internet 
bookings, call Carol Reed at 406-333-4063. I co-own the log cabin with 
her and my father, Pete Reed. I work professionally as a Web designer 
and networking programmer at Microsoft and started our B&B on the web 8 
months ago. I also do all of the marketing of the site via index 
companies and list servers.

 By the way, none of our Web business this year has been repeat. Our 
repeat customers come back because they want to. The web site is of 
little use to them.

Take care,
Jeff Reed
