Entry FREE for Yes!Hotels Members
DEADLINE: 30th June
Entries after that date will need to wait until 30th August to be included in the next run
If you want us to do the submission for you we need to charge £15. Please click here to order this.
Members are now invited to submit their details for inclusion into the online brochure. We expect this will be a popular download and all members are encouraged to supply their details for entry.
Your entry is FREE.
BUT…we need your help. We require that you follow an exact format so that our time in compiling it is kept to a minimum. We have already invested a LOT of time in compiling the script that will make the brochure and we simply have not got the resources to enter YOUR DETAILS for you.
So…if you want to be included (and why wouldnt you) then please closely follow the guidelines to save you, and us, valuable time. Invalid entries, unfortunately, wil be rejected.
The first brochure will be compiled on 1st July. Cut off date to be included in this is 30th June. We will be compiling the brochure every 2 months so if you miss this deadline you’ll have to wait until 1st September to be included.
If you find online forms daunting then PLEASE ask a family member or friend to help you. If all else fails then we can do it for you but we do charge a £15 admin charge.
What is it? We have had a few requests for brochures. This will be a pdf file which the viewer can download which will carry details of, hopefully all, of our members. The file will also have details of money saving offers from local restaurants and attractions. If the viewer follows our directions it will be installed on their desktop and possibly be a frequent source of information for choosing their accommodation in Blackpool. It’s free – so get yourself in it!
All entries will be randomly generated and we will compile it every two months so no one member will always be on the top. A duplicated version will also be online in the form of a directory within the Yes!Hotels framework and this will offer a useful alternative to those who do not wish to pay for entry within http://www.blackpoolhotels.org
Your listing will carry all your contact details, a picture (which MUST be in landscape format by the way), 150 word description and an iconic list of facilities you offer.
Please remember this is a FREE SERVICE. We simply havn’t got the time to retype entries because they were submitted in CAPITALS, or to fix hundreds of typo’s so your assistance in following the guidelines is greatly appreciated.
OK…so you are invited firstly to read the guidlines here:-
http://www.yeshotels.org.uk/register_terms.php
and you will find a link to the registration form at the bottom of that page. It opens in a new window so you can refer back to the guidelines whilst completing it.
We do realise many members do not feel comfortable with computers and form filling so please do ask a friend or family member to help you and remember, we can do it for you but need to charge for our time. We’d REALLY prefer if you did it yourself though.

Just want to let you know of an exciting project we’ll shortly be starting that will benefit ALL MEMBERS.
Coming to a computer screen near you real soon will be a downloadable 50 page brochure which will carry ALL members details.
And guess what….it will be COMPLETELY FREE to be included. Yet another bonus of being a member of Yes!Hotels
Briefly the brochure will include:-
It’s going to take a LOT of our time to compile and we hope you’ll understand we’ll need YOUR HELP. We’ll be very strict about the format and will have to reject any that do not comply. Of course you’ll get the opportunity to put things right but the crucial thing here is that you will need to understand that when submitting your information you will need to follow guidelines. More about that later.
The brochure will include vouchers for local restaurants and attractions….and thus make it more attractive to save and view regularly. Of course it will also give us the opportunity to compile a newsletter database of visitors to Blackpool that we can regularly send out enticing repeat vistors to the benefits a Yes!Hotels member can offer.
All listings will be randomly generated and regularly updated so no accommodation will always be at the top of the tree. Much the same way as the listings on http://www.blackpoolhotels.org are generated.
Why bother? (we hear you say) Well…it will be attractive for the viewers to download as they’ll hopefully install it on their desktop – it will have links to money saving offers and some good tourist information. With the download we’ll be asking for email addresses so that we can regularly inform them of updates. It will enable us to compile a large database of viewers who have asked for information about Blackpool accommodation (which we can use for future mailshots). But the biggest plus point for you, the member, is its EXTRA EXPOSURE FOR YOU.
If any member wants to get involved in compiling some tourist information please feel free to email Doug office@blackpoolhotels.org
Just wanted to share the news with you – we’re quite excited about it.
Please help us to help you – if anybody cares to write an article about their favourite Blackpool attraction then send them in!!
We’ll keep you posted.
PS: Anybody know how much VisitBlackpool are currently asking for inclusion in their brochure?

Do you offer wi-fi to guests? I’m sure you’re getting asked this question more frequently from your potential guests.
If you already have a broadband connection then it’s not going to cost you anything extra to offer after the initial purchase of a wireless router or switch.
I know a few of our members already offer wi-fi but many perhaps lack the technical expertise of setting this up for themselves.
It’s not very hard to install but its the kind of thing that would be hard for us to put a help file together on as the various types of equipment which you can buy will all have different settings.
We were approached by Adam Gough to offer our members a wi-fi installation service. Before we passed on his details we had a quick interview to make sure the equipment he was installing and the service he was offering was up to scratch.
It certainly seems to be. He’s very knowledgable and has gained a “Microsoft Certified Professional” status. The equipment he is providing whilst not tested by us certainly looks good for the job and offers WPA encryption (rather than the older WEP).
Adam will install the wi-fi router, make it secure and provide sufficient relay aerials to cover ALL your rooms for £85. Further he’ll also offer his mobile number for a support service if your guests have problems logging on …which you can pass on to your guests.
We CAN recommend his service for those that lack the technical expertise to do it themselves.
The deal can be found here:
http://www.adamgough.com/yes-hotel-wireless.php
and some questions and answers about wi-fi here:-
http://www.adamgough.com/hotel-wireless-faqs.php
Please contact Adam directly if you are interested. His numbers are on his website.
If you DO get wi-fi installed AND have a listing on www.blackpoolhotels.org then please make sure you have a tick selected next to “wi-fi” on your listing so users searching for accommodation providing wi-fi will see your details also.
Email: office@blackpoolhotels.org for any changes and/or additions.
Just a reminder to everyone about the Late_Availability section. I think only 3 members use this regularly….you could be missing out on enquiries…log those deals into the system.
regards
Mick
