Hello,

I live in a rural area and am having a hard time getting bookings. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
 
Have you made Customer Care Calls to all of your past guests? This really helped me get back on track.

Another thing that worked for me is the 100 No's that someone posted here. That makes me try to get as many no's as possible and yes, you do get some yes's eventually. Just Ask, ask, ask!!
