An important group of potential guests is often forgotten: the people who have already stayed at your B&amp;B. With some extra attention you can turn them into your biggest fans, so they keep returning to your bed &amp; breakfast. 7 tips to commit guests to you.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 1: Exceed expectations<br \/>\n<\/strong>This goes without saying but we will mention it anyway. Your guests will not return to your bed &amp; breakfast unless they have an exceptionally good time there. Thus you should exceed expectations with a lovely, comfortable accommodation and excellent service.<\/p>\n<p>Of course you can do this by not showing how big or beautiful the room actually is in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\/blog\/innkeepers\/2015\/03\/16\/voeg-in-3-stappen-fotos-van-je-bed-breakfast-toe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pictures of your B&amp;B<\/a>, but then you might miss out on guests. It\u2019s better to surprise your guests with being a pleasant and involved host\/hostess, and of course with a delicious extensive breakfast, small gifts, and an excellent service.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6763\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\/bed-and-breakfast\/zebbug\/il-forn-accommodation\/1094124\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6763\" class=\"wp-image-6763 size-full\" title=\"Bed and Breakfast surprise\" src=\"https://blog.bedandbreakfast.eu/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/verrassing21.jpg\" alt=\"Surprise at B&amp;B \" width=\"590\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/verrassing21.jpg 590w, https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/verrassing21-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Surprise! At Bed and Breakfast Il-Forn Accommodation in \u017cebbu\u0121 in Malta.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Tip 2: Get to know your guests and make sure they get to know you<br \/>\n<\/strong>But perhaps it\u2019s even more important that your guests get to know you. As soon as they have the idea that they now you a little bit, they will be more likely to book with you again. Because it was so much fun, because they grant you their booking, because it\u2019s easier to talk a second or third time around, or because it feels like coming home.<\/p>\n<p>You do have to put in some effort for this yourself. By inviting your guests for a glass of wine in the evening, or by asking them questions when they arrive. Show sincere interest. Take the time for a talk and to share tips. And don\u2019t be afraid to show yourself, by being honest about who you are and telling about that. You can also do this with your interior, by making the interior of your B&amp;B personal. Guests appreciate it if you show them your unique face!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 3: Let your guests know that you\u2019re happy with them!<br \/>\n<\/strong>Before the arrival of your guests you can already start building the relationship. Send a postcard a few days before their arrival for example. With a beautiful picture of your B&amp;B on it, or a tip about what they can do in the area, that you are looking forward to their arrival.<\/p>\n<p>Do you find this too much hassle then of course you can also add a personal message with a picture in the confirmation email. Your B&amp;B will then start to become real to your guests in advance, they will really start to look forward to their stay. And they will start to get a feeling with you, they will start to get to know you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6771\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https://blog.bedandbreakfast.eu/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/marmelade_bed_breakfast.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6771\" class=\"wp-image-6771 size-full\" title=\"Bed &amp; Breakfast jam\" src=\"https://blog.bedandbreakfast.eu/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/marmelade_bed_breakfast.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade marmelade\" width=\"590\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/marmelade_bed_breakfast.jpg 590w, https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/marmelade_bed_breakfast-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tip 4: Give a present when your guests leave.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Tip 4: Give a present when your guests leave<br \/>\n<\/strong>Your guests leave and how nice would it be if they fondly think back to your B&amp;B in the car or at home. You can enhance this by giving them a personal present when they leave. Think of a box of raspberries from the garden, a jar of that jam they loved so much, a tulip bulb, or a small business gift with the logo of your B&amp;B on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 5: Retain close ties after the stay<br \/>\n<\/strong>Your guests have left, hopefully they\u2019ve written a beautiful review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bedandbreakfast.eu<\/a>. So that was it? Hopefully not! Now you can really start to work on \u2018customer loyalty\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Send them a nice birthday card on their birthday for example, with a picture of your B&amp;B on it. That way you will also get positive attention months after their stay, your guests will like your kind gesture and remember it. You could also email them every once in a while, with a nice offer, or to let them know there\u2019s an event coming up in your area. That way you can keep the contact with your guests warm in a fun way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 6: Let yourself be heard through social media<br \/>\n<\/strong>Social media are the perfect way to retain close ties with your guests in a casual way. You could place pictures of your B&amp;B on Facebook for example. The first al fresco breakfast after winter, your cat with its kittens, a cup of lovely coffee to start the day with, your B&amp;B in the snow, you name it!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6764\" style=\"width: 505px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\/bed-and-breakfast\/le-rouret\/le-mas-de-frayere\/6881\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6764\" class=\"wp-image-6764 size-full\" title=\"Bed &amp; breakfast on Facebook\" src=\"https://blog.bedandbreakfast.eu/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Facebook-update.png\" alt=\"Facebook-update\" width=\"495\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Facebook-update.png 495w, https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Facebook-update-275x300.png 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of a Facebook status update by B&amp;B Le Mas de Fray\u00e8re in Le Rouret, France.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to post personal messages, those are appreciated even more!

By the time they want to spend the night in the area again, hopefully they\u2019ll think of your B&amp;B! \u00a0You can send your regular clients excusive news and discounts through Facebook. By the way, don\u2019t forget to ask your guests to \u2018like\u2019 your Facebook page!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6757\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\/bed-and-breakfast\/wilderness\/lodge-on-the-lake-and-wellness-spa\/173118\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6757\" class=\"wp-image-6757 size-full\" title=\"B&amp;B presentje\" src=\"https://blog.bedandbreakfast.eu/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/surprise_BB.jpg\" alt=\"Surprise at bed &amp; breakfast\" width=\"590\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/surprise_BB.jpg 590w, https:\/\/blog.bedandbreakfast.eu\/innkeepers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/surprise_BB-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bed &amp; Breakfast Lodge On The Lake and Wellness Spa in Wilderness, South-Africa.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Tip 7: Treat your regular guests as VIPs.<br \/>\n<\/strong>As a customer you like to feel appreciated. Telecom companies and magazines know this and work hard on discount campaigns especially for their loyal subscribers. You can do the same, in your own way.<\/p>\n<p>Send your guests a newsletter with a personal salutation for example, in which you invite them to visit your B&amp;B with a coupon especially for guests who have already been to your B&amp;B. Or compose a package with extras, because they already know your B&amp;B. Send them a card with tips for activities in the area and a discount for dinner at a nearby restaurant for example.<\/p>\n<p>Give your regulars extra attention on social media as well, for example by starting a conversation with them, or after a renovation or when you\u2019ve expanded your service. You could send them an invitation to come and see the results and sleep in a new room. Your guests will feel special and highly appreciated and they will love to revisit your B&amp;B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a B&amp;B owner you probably aim your marketing activities mostly at new guests.
