Workshop Bed & Breakfast Starten in Nederland<\/p><\/div>\n

On the B&B Expo in Brussels last weekend the workshop \u2018starting a Bed & Breakfast<\/a>\u2019 took place. In an hour, Hanny Hoedemaker, founder of Bedandbreakfast.eu<\/a>, pointed out the most important guide lines and marketing tips for B&B owners to be. <\/p>\n

Go to the municipality<\/strong>
\nThe most important tip Hanny sent the audience home with was: when you are considering starting a bed & breakfast, go and talk to your municipality first! If your municipality doesn\u2019t allow a bed & breakfast, there is no use in continuing your plans. In general, municipalities are service-aimed and they think along with entrepreneurs. If there is no policy for B&B\u2019s yet, than you can ask the municipality to create such a policy.<\/p>\n

Promotional material<\/strong>
\nHanny also stressed to the audience to take care of good basic materials when promoting your B&B: professional photos of your bed & breakfast, a consistent house style and qualitatively high standard print work. On this basis, as a B&B owner you can build further. The investment this requires will be earned back soon.<\/p>\n

Social interaction<\/strong>
\nA third tip from Hanny: learn from the feedback guests give you in reviews on Bedandbreakfast.eu.<\/a> They help you to improve your bed & breakfast and to identify your strong points. Those strong points can then be used in your promotion. It is also smart to create a profile for your bed & breakfast on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. It is the perfect way to stay in contact with your customers in an informal way.<\/p>\n

Free information about starting a B&B<\/strong>
\nBedandbreakfast.eu<\/a>\u00a0periodically publishes a free news letter with information about running a B&B, that is interesting for start-ups too.\u00a0 You can sign up for our news letter on the B&B start-up page<\/a>.
