Auctioning Diani hotel rooms for charity
Hi all
Having just got back from another trip to Diani and Shimba hills, I have a new challenge. One of the charities out there (I'll leave the commercial break out this time, although some will know who it is) has been offered some rooms at one of the hotels, with breakfast, for free on the basis that they can sell them and keep the proceeds. The hotel will look to make something on the food and bar, for rooms which they otherwise wouldn't sell for these weeks. This is potentially a very lucrative offer, if we can get the marketing right. I have already approached a local company who could provide transfers from Mombasa at a sensible price, but I now need to figure out the best way to sell the rooms. EBay seems an obvious approach, but I can't see anyone else on there offering rooms/holidays in this way. I suspect that maybe most people would not want to commit money to a holiday in this way? We could be talking about up to 3 double rooms for 45 weeks a year, so you understand why it is worth me spending some time on it. Any ideas at all how we could maximise the income from this, as it could be the saviour for the particular trust.? Thanks all Charles PS when I've waded through all the photos, I'll get something on the website! |
