Below are our top tips to help you and your property get the most out of National B&B Week and promote your B&B like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Get Involved & Have Fun With It<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFrom complimentary champagne on arrival, to serving guests breakfast in bed, or even offering free entry to local attractions, we\u2019re asking B&B owners across the country to offer incredible experiences throughout National B&B Week. It should be something you wouldn\u2019t usually offer to visitors \u2013 and the more unusual the better \u2013 from free beauty treatments, to workshops and classes, or even something more unusual \u2013 why not try and break a world record? The sky really is the limit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For inspiration, check out some suggestions based on previous offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ready with an offer? Submit it here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>Straight away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Keep Us In The Loop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAre you offering something special or unusual during the week? Are you hosting an event or have an interesting story to tell us about your property? As well as submitting your offer to the National B&B Week website, you might want to tell us about it! Email us with as much information as possible (the name of your accommodation, contact details and your story) at info@bandbweek.com. We\u2019ll be in touch if we think it is something we can use in any PR activity in the hope of generating some media coverage for your accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>Whenever you have some information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Shout & Share On Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTwitter, Facebook & Instagram are great ways of getting the word out to a wider audience. Sharing a few posts in the lead-up to the event and then one a day during the week itself is a solid way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider pinning the below message to your Facebook or Twitter profile, so that any existing or prospective customers viewing your page can see that you\u2019re participating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to use the example post below on social media as it as it is, modify it to suit your needs or come up with your own one entirely! You\u2019ll want to add a great image to illustrate your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the week itself, snap some pictures of your offer in action, push it out through all your social channels, and encourage guests to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Use #BandBWeek & Other Hashtags<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHashtags are used to categorise social media content and allow a wider audience of people to discover it. When someone interested in a topic searches for a hashtag, they\u2019re able to see all the posts that have used that tag, even if they\u2019re not following the users that created them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember to use #BandBWeek in all social media posts to get noticed!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s also best practice to get into the habit of hashtagging your posts with relevant hashtags \u2013 such as #bedandbreakfast or #bandb \u2013 to get the attention of people who are searching Instagram for a place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Use National B&B Week Logo & Banners On Your Website & Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDownload the participant pack to access a range of profile pics and header images for use on social media, as well as a logo and badges for your website, to show that you\u2019re a loud and proud participant of National B&B Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the pinned post mentioned above, this will make it easy for your customers to see that you\u2019re participating, and we know from last year that potential guests look out for these when booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. Contact Your Local Press<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOffering something interesting for National B&B Week? Well, there\u2019s a good chance that your local paper, radio or TV station will want to hear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are doing something fun in National B&B Week, reach out to your local paper, radio station and even TV news desk to tell them about it. They are always looking for interesting new things to cover, and this could do wonders for promoting your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get the attention of the press, remember to keep your message snappy and relevant, focussing on what\u2019s interesting about your property and offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n7. Put Out Your Own Press Release<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen you contact the press you might want to write a press release explaining what you\u2019re doing. We\u2019ve put together a press release template for you to customise and send on to any press contacts you have, or add to your website. You can access the template press release in the downloadable participant pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n8. Write A Blog Post<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDoes your website have a blog? If so, write a post about your involvement in National B&B Week \u2013 don\u2019t forget to include some nice pictures of you and your property. You can then promote this blog post on your social media channels, using #BandBWeek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n9. Engage Your Local MP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNational B&B Week is a great chance for your MP to champion local businesses taking part in this national initiative, so let them know what you\u2019re up to. When you tweet about National B&B Week, tag your MP, or invite them along to your property for a visit, especially if you are hosting a fundraising event for the Family Holiday Association! MPs are usually in their constituencies on a Friday. We saw lots of MPs visiting properties in their constituencies last year, including the Tourism Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can easily find your local MP on Twitter with this tool. Just click \u201cMP List\u201d to see all the eligible MPs in alphabetic order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n10. Get Your Guests Involved<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn the downloadable participant pack you will find a printable postcard promoting National B&B Week to print out double-sided on A4 card for all of your guests. It contains a bit of info on the week to get them excited, and the information they need if they want to share their own National B&B Week experiences online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the 16th to 22nd March, simply print these postcards out and distribute appropriately. Last year, many B&Bs left postcards on the table for breakfast, and they went down a treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>From 16th to 22nd March<\/p>\n\n\n\n11. Support The Family Holiday Association<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNational B&B Week is proudly supporting the Family Holiday Association, who provide short breaks to struggling families facing some of the toughest challenges life can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why not organise a coffee morning, afternoon tea, or cake sale, with proceeds going to the FHA and perhaps invite your local MP, or buy the B&B cookbook with all proceeds again going to the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B&B owners are invited to offer two-night stays in their accommodation to families through the charity during National B&B Week and beyond. Or for users of the eviivo booking system, there is an option to add a donation element to your booking site so that customers have the choice to donate \u00a31 to the charity at the point of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re interested in supporting their incredible charitable work, helping families struck by severe or long-term illness, mental health issues, bereavement or domestic violence please let us know using this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, National B&B Week is all about you \u2013 the hardworking host. By getting involved and shouting about the event you can help us make #BandBWeek even more of a success!<\/h3>\n\n\n\nOffers will be here soon!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

3. Shout & Share On Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTwitter, Facebook & Instagram are great ways of getting the word out to a wider audience. Sharing a few posts in the lead-up to the event and then one a day during the week itself is a solid way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider pinning the below message to your Facebook or Twitter profile, so that any existing or prospective customers viewing your page can see that you\u2019re participating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to use the example post below on social media as it as it is, modify it to suit your needs or come up with your own one entirely! You\u2019ll want to add a great image to illustrate your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the week itself, snap some pictures of your offer in action, push it out through all your social channels, and encourage guests to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Use #BandBWeek & Other Hashtags<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHashtags are used to categorise social media content and allow a wider audience of people to discover it. When someone interested in a topic searches for a hashtag, they\u2019re able to see all the posts that have used that tag, even if they\u2019re not following the users that created them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember to use #BandBWeek in all social media posts to get noticed!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s also best practice to get into the habit of hashtagging your posts with relevant hashtags \u2013 such as #bedandbreakfast or #bandb \u2013 to get the attention of people who are searching Instagram for a place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Use National B&B Week Logo & Banners On Your Website & Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDownload the participant pack to access a range of profile pics and header images for use on social media, as well as a logo and badges for your website, to show that you\u2019re a loud and proud participant of National B&B Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the pinned post mentioned above, this will make it easy for your customers to see that you\u2019re participating, and we know from last year that potential guests look out for these when booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. Contact Your Local Press<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOffering something interesting for National B&B Week? Well, there\u2019s a good chance that your local paper, radio or TV station will want to hear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are doing something fun in National B&B Week, reach out to your local paper, radio station and even TV news desk to tell them about it. They are always looking for interesting new things to cover, and this could do wonders for promoting your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get the attention of the press, remember to keep your message snappy and relevant, focussing on what\u2019s interesting about your property and offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n7. Put Out Your Own Press Release<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen you contact the press you might want to write a press release explaining what you\u2019re doing. We\u2019ve put together a press release template for you to customise and send on to any press contacts you have, or add to your website. You can access the template press release in the downloadable participant pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n8. Write A Blog Post<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDoes your website have a blog? If so, write a post about your involvement in National B&B Week \u2013 don\u2019t forget to include some nice pictures of you and your property. You can then promote this blog post on your social media channels, using #BandBWeek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n9. Engage Your Local MP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNational B&B Week is a great chance for your MP to champion local businesses taking part in this national initiative, so let them know what you\u2019re up to. When you tweet about National B&B Week, tag your MP, or invite them along to your property for a visit, especially if you are hosting a fundraising event for the Family Holiday Association! MPs are usually in their constituencies on a Friday. We saw lots of MPs visiting properties in their constituencies last year, including the Tourism Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can easily find your local MP on Twitter with this tool. Just click \u201cMP List\u201d to see all the eligible MPs in alphabetic order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n10. Get Your Guests Involved<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn the downloadable participant pack you will find a printable postcard promoting National B&B Week to print out double-sided on A4 card for all of your guests. It contains a bit of info on the week to get them excited, and the information they need if they want to share their own National B&B Week experiences online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not organise a coffee morning, afternoon tea, or cake sale, with proceeds going to the FHA and perhaps invite your local MP, or buy the B&B cookbook with all proceeds again going to the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B&B owners are invited to offer two-night stays in their accommodation to families through the charity during National B&B Week and beyond. Or for users of the eviivo booking system, there is an option to add a donation element to your booking site so that customers have the choice to donate \u00a31 to the charity at the point of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hashtags are used to categorise social media content and allow a wider audience of people to discover it. When someone interested in a topic searches for a hashtag, they\u2019re able to see all the posts that have used that tag, even if they\u2019re not following the users that created them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember to use #BandBWeek in all social media posts to get noticed!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also best practice to get into the habit of hashtagging your posts with relevant hashtags \u2013 such as #bedandbreakfast or #bandb \u2013 to get the attention of people who are searching Instagram for a place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download the participant pack to access a range of profile pics and header images for use on social media, as well as a logo and badges for your website, to show that you\u2019re a loud and proud participant of National B&B Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the pinned post mentioned above, this will make it easy for your customers to see that you\u2019re participating, and we know from last year that potential guests look out for these when booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Offering something interesting for National B&B Week? Well, there\u2019s a good chance that your local paper, radio or TV station will want to hear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are doing something fun in National B&B Week, reach out to your local paper, radio station and even TV news desk to tell them about it. They are always looking for interesting new things to cover, and this could do wonders for promoting your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To get the attention of the press, remember to keep your message snappy and relevant, focussing on what\u2019s interesting about your property and offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you contact the press you might want to write a press release explaining what you\u2019re doing. We\u2019ve put together a press release template for you to customise and send on to any press contacts you have, or add to your website. You can access the template press release in the downloadable participant pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does your website have a blog?

When you tweet about National B&B Week, tag your MP, or invite them along to your property for a visit, especially if you are hosting a fundraising event for the Family Holiday Association! MPs are usually in their constituencies on a Friday. We saw lots of MPs visiting properties in their constituencies last year, including the Tourism Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily find your local MP on Twitter with this tool.

It contains a bit of info on the week to get them excited, and the information they need if they want to share their own National B&B Week experiences online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the 16th to 22nd March, simply print these postcards out and distribute appropriately. Last year, many B&Bs left postcards on the table for breakfast, and they went down a treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to do it: <\/strong>From 16th to 22nd March<\/p>\n\n\n\n National B&B Week is proudly supporting the Family Holiday Association, who provide short breaks to struggling families facing some of the toughest challenges life can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why not organise a coffee morning, afternoon tea, or cake sale, with proceeds going to the FHA and perhaps invite your local MP, or buy the B&B cookbook with all proceeds again going to the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B&B owners are invited to offer two-night stays in their accommodation to families through the charity during National B&B Week and beyond. Or for users of the eviivo booking system, there is an option to add a donation element to your booking site so that customers have the choice to donate \u00a31 to the charity at the point of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re interested in supporting their incredible charitable work, helping families struck by severe or long-term illness, mental health issues, bereavement or domestic violence please let us know using this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to do it: <\/strong>As soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While we\u2019re working hard to ensure that National B&B Week and all participants get as much local, regional and national media exposure as possible, you can play your part and ensure that your property also gets its own share of the limelight.
