Dear Association Members,

Spring is finally here after what seemed like a very long winter.  And with it a
Pamela Lanierrenewed sense of optimizing, especially about the economy.  Many inns are busy putting the finishing touches on their decor and upgraded bedding for the summer season. In anticipation of the heavier travel season and innkeeper needs, I am announcing the Bed and Breakfast Collection™ Basic Bedding to allow our members to refresh their bedding for discerning guests at a 40% plus discount off mattress pads, mattress covers, pillows, and more.  I have really looked around to find the best in bedding to share with our innkeepers.  You have probably already paid retail for similar products at department stores and upscale catalogs.

Our complete line includes pads that virtually "remake" an older mattress or those that can turn semi-uncomfortable beds into a firm, but luxurious pillow top style experience.  I have created a special collection of pillows which you can buy as a set or individually, so you can even offer a "pillow menu" to your guests.  Best of all, these high quality bedding products are available to you at outstanding, unprecedented prices in our B&B industry.  Our Spring into Savings offers an additional 25% off all bedding in addition to the everyday 40% off price for members.  Order at Pillows, Pads and More and enter our special promotional codes during check out.

To apply the 40% off: PLBB09
To apply additional  25% off before May 30: SpSave10

I hope this partnership I have created on your behalf meets the needs for your B&B while accommodating your pocket book.

Travel WeeklyIn other news, we just had a national article on the front page of Travel Weekly urging travel agents to send their guests to our member inns and Bed & Breakfasts all over North American.  This is the magazine for the professional travel community of over 500,000 agents.  They haven't featured B&Bs for a long time, so we are very pleased to get this positive message out. 

Finally, Marie Lanier will be attending and speaking at the International Travel Pow Wow being held in Orlando Florida this weekend.  Marie is passionate about promote the B&B industry and Pow Wow is where the movers and shakers, travel editors and decision makers share.
