Internet Advertising - Recommendations.
(a) Online Promotion.
Register for a Google Adwords account, by visiting the Google homepage, and clicking on Advertising Programmes. Cost out a campaign for keywords such as 'Inverness' - 'Scottish Salmon' - 'Birds Scotland' and any others that you consider important to potential visitors.
You could also consider registering with Yahoo! Search Marketing, perhaps under Local Search - Scotland, Inverness.
You could register your website with Commission Junction. Your site would be attractive to affiliate programme owners such as airlines, and travel companies. This could become a source of additional revenue.
(b) Offline Promotion.

Keep a record of previous visitors, and mail shot them with news on the Hotel.
