I am sending good thoughts and prayers your way for more reservations and I am hoping that we somehow hit the lottery that I can eventually come out for a retreat of my own. Hitting the lottery would probably be easier if I actually played... :) <br /><br />That is so great that the travel agency is willing to throw you that kind of help. Congratulations!A.

Testimonials from satisfied customers on the website would be nice, but might come across as canned and screened. But if you were to approach two or three people who have been on previous retreats and loved it, and ask them if they'd be willing to have their name and phone/e-mail given to inquirers, people could contact them directly for a two-way conversation and perhaps catch the excitement. Then you could put on the website, "References from previous participants available upon request." <br /><br />(I think CPI did this after Mom spent several weeks attending Spanish classes there. I recall that she got at least one such inquiry.) <br /><br />2. Consider the South American market. You could just as easily do the retreat in Spanish as in English. There must be tens of thousands of people in South America who quilt and who could well afford to come to a retreat. Do a separate website in Spanish and try to get it onto search engines used in South America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
