Iowa Bed and Breakfast Author to Appear on Local Talk Show

April 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Iowa bed and breakfast owners will want to tune in next week as local author talks about her 2nd release of Opening and Operating a Bed & Breakfast in the 21st Century: Your Step-By-Step Guide to Inn Keeping Success with Professional Online Marketing Strategies.

This revised and expanded 2nd Edition is a must-have-guidebook-to-success in the Bed and Breakfast Industry in the 21st Century. Great for aspiring, new or experienced innkeepers. This book covers innkeeping basics, but its real value is when it addresses the Internet topics in detail and helps the reader understand the steps necessary to successfully market a B&B on the Internet.

All types of national studies have proven that all new lodging guests are making their vacation and getaway plans off the Internet. This book will help the new or experienced innkeeper understand the steps to take to successfully market a B&B on the Internet.

One impressed reader states: “This new book is a comprehensive guide for anyone wanting to get “heads-in-the-beds” at a new inn or an existing one. I love the section on increasing Web site traffic and how to optimize your Web site from a marketing perspective — something lacking in the other titles on this important bed and breakfast subject.”

Another reader says: "The first third of Ms. Painter's book is a reality check for aspiring innkeepers. The middle third is for any innkeeper that needs ideas on how to increase business. The last third, which gets the five star rating, is a well organized overview for the web/internet neophyte like myself. I have already implemented some of her suggestions and am eagerly awaiting results."

Amelia Painter shows you how to make your dream a reality in a profitable manner. Some of the essential information provided in this book includes:

* Financial considerations
* Advertising & Marketing on the Internet
* Interviews, tips & hints from successful innkeepers
* Lists of B&B guides, and the best B&B reservation services
