We were very excited to see The Grace Manor in Richmond, Virginia and BnBFinder featured as a way to save money and getaway this summer. Innkeepers Albert and Dawn Schick did an amazing job explaining why B&Bs are the getaway of choice this summer. Thanks to Amy Lacey at WRIC in Virginia for this fantastic story. Please take a second and have a look at this wonderful news piece, and innkeepers make sure you let us know about your creative specials.

I like this video. Great idea to promote rentals. Our European guests think it is pretty funny how Americans are obsessed with gas prices when from their point of view gas is so cheap here.
How come you embed this video on your server instead of using youtube (or similar)? The bandwidth can’t be cheap and I notice that it doesn’t download and then play smoothly like a youtube video does. Instead it is very jumpy as it tries to stream.
PS – We have a blog to http://myblog.rainforestinn.com and our last post is about making videos to promote your bed and breakfast.

Bill, thanks for the nice compliments, we were all very pleased that Channel Eight chose to feature BnBFinder as well as on of our inns.
The thing about using Youtube (which I love by the way) is that it creates an outbound link from your site which can negatively impact searches. In addition, many people have trouble using YouTube. I’m a Mac person for instance, and when I want to use YouTube I need to change all the browser settings to see the videos. I’m sorry if the video is a bit jumpy on your end, but it’s a pretty enormous file. Our hope was to make it easy to view for the most amount of readers. I’ve also had a chance to look at your blog, and it’s great. I really like your video as well. -Cheers,
Michael
