A discussion about sales, sales tips and advice, and about those who land the deal

In my last post, I complained mildly about the Cambria Pines Lodge not offering free Internet service.

However, upon a quick check of the lounge, they do offer free chips and salsa for the guests.

So, as long as I eat $20 worth of chips and salsa in the next 48 hours, that will even out my bill for two days worth of Internet service.

Quick point: If you offer your customers free things, make sure you tell them about it.  Lead with it!  I had to hunt down this freebie, finding it completely on accident.  At check in, it would have been impressive to hear about all of the specials and freebies that the guests are entitled to.  That would have made paying for Internet service irrelevant, really.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm off to hunt down more freebies.  I'll check in later...
