The B&B Network Internet Marketing Association
The B&B Network consists of over 70 websites. The Network provides an Internet marketing platform for our members and uses a very large reference section or directory with ten's of thousands of entries in order to attract prospective guests and visitors from all over the world. In a search for a specific town, a webpage is displayed with local members accommodation. There is a button to display ALL local accommodation with members property photographs at the top. These reference directory pages are automatically displayed if there are no members in the locality, thereby maintaining a public service for guests that encourages them to return.
NOTE! We don´t stop at managing our network of websites - we provide each member with an interactive web-page or website and an online administration panel to manage room rates, online marketing activities and bookings.
