How to Offer a Free Night at a Bed & Breakfast on Your Blog
A. Write a description of iLoveInns.com and include an example of our inns. Example from the goodtureandbeautiful blog: “I have the great pleasure of introducing you to the iLoveInns.com guidebook to “Bed & Breakfast and Country Inns.” The book includes detailed descriptions of 1,100 bed and breakfasts and small inns all over the US. (The iLoveInns.com website also has 5000 additional inns.) The best part of this book is the certificate you find right inside the front cover…One Free Night at a B&B or Country Inn (When you buy the first night at the regular rate you get the second night FREE!) This guidebook will easily save you between $100 – $450 on your next adventure. You can buy it at I Love Inns for $24.95 or you can possibly win a free copy from my _______blog.)
B. Tell about us partnering together: Example: “The terrific folks at I Love Inns are partnering with me to giveaway FIVE copies of their guidebook, which includes a free night certificate!"
