Creating a Web-site for Free with Webs.


I was recently asked for help in a new company here in Fannmark, Norway. The company has nothing to do with tourism or hotel business (although, its services can be theoretically used there), but my job there is a lot about marketing and positioning of the company in the area.

Next, please.

Today I would like to speak about a topic that is a bit different from that of “attracting customers”. I'd like to talk about the right personnel. B&B's have different sizes. Yes, it can be just a small family business when you don't even need any extra people. In the worst case your cousin takes care of the inn while you are on a vocation.

Apropos Facebook Places. Newest updates.

Apropos Facebook Places - Have you seen? When I logged into my Facebook account yesterday and wanted to update my status, I was pleasantly surprised by the new updated feature at Facebook. And that is: now everyone can tag the places and friends from PC or a laptop, not necessarily from a mobile device. One can also choose at once WHO they want to share their status with.

Of course I have used this opportunity on my recent trip to Kirkenes. First it appeared that the Hotel does not have its place on Facebook. But I found out that one should also not forget to change his own location to see the Places nearby and get them in the search result.

FACEBOOK PLACES


In my Facebook news feeds I see that more and more of my friends Check-in in different places on Facebook. Cafes, bars, restaurants, hotels, airports and conference centers. Some of the businesses I follow offer Check-in Deals. Not having used those features myself, I got really interested in what they are and how B&B's can use them.
