Inn Gardens

We follow a whole bunch of Maine Inns on facebook and it seems like they are all talking about their gardens now. It is an early flower season in Maine, I remember when we wouldn't see Lupine in Bar Harbor until mid-June and this year they are already here.

Breakfast Inspiration

For those of you missing Dana's photographs of amazing breakfasts.... this shot is on her Facebook page today, something she "threw together" at home... Wow!

All Indicators are Positive

From what we hear, Maine innkeepers are very encouraged by the level of advance reservations for this season. Why wouldn't people want to visit our beautiful State?

Exciting Topics

We have had some really great people and groups contact us about providing workshops for Maine Innkeepers through our Academy. We are going to spend the summer preparing one fantastic workshop schedule for fall. Everything from marketing to special events to additional income streams for your inn. If you have ideas, add them to the pile. This is going to be great!

Final Workshop of the Season

What a way to go into Season 2010. The PR Workshop with Jim and Gillian Britt of gBritt was a great success. We have heard from many that May on is just too busy for workshops and especially this year which is proving to be a banner season. We'll be working on workshops for fall and also webinars and such that you can watch at your own pace.

Above are some of Dana's photos from the workshop, to see them all go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/dana_moos/4544800468/in/set-72157623912956232/

PR Workshop this Thursday!!

We are getting really excited about Thursday's, April 22nd, workshop with gBritt. gBritt is the PR Firm behind the brilliantly executed Maine Restaurant Week.

You really don't want to miss this - we think some fun things may come out of it and you'll want your inn to be a part of it.
