Then

You're in the right place and I'm going to tell how the B&B Academy Marketing Membership will give you the support and tools you need to attract more of your ideal guests

A Note From Karen...

Hi There!

I'm Karen Thorne and I've been running my own B&B, Hopton House in Shropshire for 16 years.

I set up B&B Academy 14 years, helping aspiring bed and breakfast owners to set up, buy, run and market their own B&B businesses.

I love marketing and I've always marketed my own B&B and don't use the online travel agencies, keeping up to date with all of the latest marketing trends. I've run tourism marketing workshops for lots of different organisations over the years.

However, I know not everyone feels the same way about marketing. Most of you don't want to become marketing experts, you want to spend your time running your amazing B&Bs and welcoming your ideal guests! 

You want to take back control from the OTAS , not be stuck in front of a computer trying to work out the best way to use the latest social media or how to blog!

I've had an idea of a B&B Marketing Community for a while. My vision is to save you time and money, make your life easier, delivering marketing tasks  in easy deliverable chunks. And to create a supportive, safe community to cheer you on along the way.

I do hope you'll join me!

Here's What Others Are Saying...

Catriona Haskell-Ward, Millburn Bed and Breakfast, Isle of Skye

Karen... thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, for being there for that extra advice when needed, for setting up the ‘B&B Academy’ family FB group no one could have planned for what this year has thrown at us all but we definitely couldn’t have got/get through it with out you and everyone in this group..

Clare and Dave Wright, The School House B&B, Shropshire

When we opened we soon realised just how much we had learned on Karen’s course. But her teaching doesn’t stop at the classroom – the course opens up a whole network of liked-minded people to exchange views and ideas with, so we are always up-to-date with changes within the industry. We would highly recommend Karen’s course if you’re thinking of getting into this very enjoyable and rewarding business.
