    Partnering with Local Businesses — A B&B Growth Strategy that Works


    In this episode of Bed, Breakfast & Business, we talk about a game-changer most B&B owners overlook: local partnerships.

    If you’ve ever wondered:

    • “How do I fill rooms outside of peak season?”
    • “What can I offer guests that costs me nothing but stands out?”
    • “How do I collaborate without making it weird?”

    Then this episode’s for you.

    🎁 At 10:36, I share one of my favourite strategies for boosting midweek bookings using nothing but your breakfast room and a local yoga teacher.

    This is practical, no-fluff advice straight from the Mastering B&B Management Course.
