BedandBreakfast.com PR and Marketing Update

BedandBreakfast.com has scored some great publicity with an Associated Press story before the holidays recommending the BedandBreakfast.com Getaway Gift Card as a holiday gift for travelers.  USA Today included our gift card in a blog post on great Cyber Monday travel deals.  The New York Post also gave a shout out to the BedandBreakfast.com gift card as a great Valentine’s Day gift.

To celebrate Black History Month, the Huffington Post ran a story on underground railroad B&Bs that offer a cozy look at history, referencing three inns on the BedandBreakfast.com site.  It also included a slide show of seven inns with photos that illustrate the safe houses. 

We regularly work with travel and lifestyle publications and suggest inns and B&Bs for their stories, such as Southern Living’sThe South’s Coziest Inns” that features three inns from the BedandBreakfast.com site.

The Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards and our new monthly awards programs get picked up by online media such as Everett Potter’s Travel Report, the Roaming Boomers, and About.com.  This year, we have announced our Top 10 Ski B&Bs and Top 10 Most Romantic B&Bs.

News from BedandBreakfast.com

BedandBreakfast.com just announced that its Diamond Collection has surpassed 300 inns and is expanding into Canada. This follows on the heels of our news about the redesigned BedandBreakfast.com website

Coming up this spring will be promotions around Mother’s Day. Let us know of any super special and over-the-top Mother's Day celebrations you're planning. We’re also looking for celebrity chefs who whip up amazing breakfasts and other meals at our inns; if you have a celebrity chef, email Emily Gerson with the details. Finally, we will survey travelers in April to find out their summer travel plans – again, let us know of any summer specials we should know about!
