Do you ever felt like David going up against the Goliath of hotels and those ever-popular platforms like Airbnb? Yep, your BnB can outshine competitors and can feel like a battlefield!

But fear not, because we’ve got the secret sauce to make your B&B the talk of the town (or even the world!).

Let’s dive deep into those five strategies to help your BnB outshine your competitors.

Sell the Soul, Not Just the Bed:

Every B&B has its own magic. Maybe it’s that grandpa ghost story, the 18th-century toilet, or just your eccentric wallpaper choice. Flaunt it! Oh, and while you’re at it, why not throw in some personalized service – like breakfast in bed, but with a twist (I’m thinking pancakes shaped like the guest’s face?).

.

Be the Local Guru:

Team up with Joe from the vineyard next door or Mary from the quirky museum down the road. Create packages that scream ‘local experience’. And hey, source your breakfast eggs from the farm two doors down – fresh is always best, and guests love a good origin story with their omelette.

Become a Digital Diva:

Spice up your online presence with a killer website that’s easier to navigate than your grandma’s kitchen. Pop those room pics like they’re hot! And if you aren’t posting mouthwatering breakfast spreads on Instagram, are you even trying?

.

Turn Guests into Your Fan Club:

Loyalty cards? Yes, please! Make your guests feel like VIPs, so they’re already booking their next stay as they check out. And don’t be shy — ask for those reviews! Remember: a happy guest with a keyboard can be your best marketer.

.

Stay Fresh and Funky:

Give your B&B the occasional makeover – maybe a new lick of paint or those curtains you’ve been eyeing? Keep things vibrant! And don’t forget to network. Knowing the latest pillow fluffing technique can give you an edge.

. Remember, your B&B’s secret weapon is YOU and the unique experience you provide. So, roll up those sleeves, wear that quirky apron with pride, and let’s make your B&B the place to be!
