We have been busy, busy bees here at InsideOut lately – or should I say not here lately! There has been quite a bit of travel in the last two months.
Jeff Logan and Katie Pate were in Louisville KY for the Tri-State bed and breakfast Association in mid January. Unfortunately, there was no Ohio representation at the show, but it was still a wonderful chance to see some of our Kentucky Bed and Breakfast clients, as well as Indiana B&B clients.
Katie and Jeff spoke on Google search engine marketing and blogging. Despite suffering the loss of their projector, it was a success and enjoyed by all. InsideOut was honored that day by the Kentucky Bed and Breakfast Association as the vendor of the year.
The conference was held in a wonderful historic home in Old Louisville. The Conrad-Caldwell House is a magnificent Richardsonian Mansion on St. James Court. We enjoyed having dinner with innkeepers and hearing their stories about the neighborhood that many have worked to save by purchasing these elegant old homes. We were happy to again be a sponsor for this show.
Not but a week or so later, we were off again to the California Association of Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers (CABBI) show. It was in held at the Meritage resort in Napa. A beautiful facility, we enjoyed tasting fine California wines, eating the renowned California cuisine and meeting California innkeepers. Pat and Jim McCauley as well as Beth Logan were in attendance. Steven Dunston was a speaker, presenting his “15 Minute Marketing Makeover”. It was well received.
We got the chance to meet with Trent Blizzard from Blizzard Internet Marketing while in Napa. He was a presenting as well, and we enjoyed having dinner with him and talking SEO.
After two days in California, Jeff and Katie jumped back on the plane to Billings Montana for the Dude Rancher’s Association Convention. This is such a fun show (although not quite as warm as last year in Tucson), and it was good to catch up with our DRA clients and talk about our newest ideas for their sites and online marketing. Katie and Jeff lead a round table discussion on SEO basics for your site. It was quite the whirlwind event – only about 20 mins for each group and then you were off to the next table.
It has been a busy beginning to 2010! We love the chance to see our clients face to face, and it is a great time for us to educate clients and association members on new things that are changing about web marketing.
I hope we come to your region soon!
