The Dills at TIL

I have been receiving interesting and threatening letters from TIL's lawyers. Boy, they make me laugh!

I guess that Paula Pleasant, the inhouse lawyer at TIL, is behind this. She should know better, after what she has gotten up to. Just because I told her at the Christmas picnic that I didn't want to spend time with her, doesn't justify a legal malestorm of letters. Oh, by the way, her is a picture of Paula at the end of that picnic!

And Friday night drinks!

Laughing Out Loud!!

Would you believe it!! I received a letter from TIL's lawyers, threatening me with a whole bunch of rubbish. With what I know about them! People in glass houses. In war, the best defense is to attack. Stand by!

TIL Gossip

If you have any gossip about what is happening at TIL, just let me know. I will publish it on this blog. Some of the executives have been having too much fun!

Facebook Promotions For Your Hotel

Many hotels are struggling with making their Facebook presence more effective.   Running a contest or promotion on your hotel’s Facebook Page is a great idea for hotel marketers who are looking to improve the effectiveness of their Facebook marketing results.

Contests can help you:

1. Garner a larger fan base.
2. Improve the interaction you have with you current fans.
3. Give you a golden opportunity to collect emails and mailing addresses of your fans.

The problem that  a contest may pose is that it can attract unqualified Likes… people entering your contest just to win  may not have any intention of becoming a customer.

In order to mitigate this problem (if you think it is a problem), consider the following:

1. How you promote your contest. Are you promoting it to the general public or are you promoting it to past guests, current fans, and potential guests?
2. What you give away. An iPad as a prize can bring out the monkeys and pornstars.  A free nights lodging or weekend spa treatment at your property will only attract people with an intention of actually staying with you.

Change of Pace

Well, it has been one full week since my last day working at Travel Internet Limited. Boy, it is great to get out of their, it was really starting to get me down. So many problems, and so much inaction. And corruption from the top down.

I had a week of vacation at Noosa and Fraser Island, and got back to the keyboard today.

Looking forward to my new venture -- it will send a rocket through the industry. More to be announced soon.
