"Acorn Mail" Users

We are in the process of moving our "Acorn Mail" customers over to a New and Improved Mail System. The move is at NO Charge to our customers, and the monthly cost is $1 a month per e-mail address. If you are an Acorn Mail Customer, and haven't heard from one of our team regarding the move, stay tuned, you will in the next few months.

NOTE: Acorn Mail is NOT FastMail or Basic Forwarding. So if you have FastMail or Basic Forwarding, these changes DO NOT APPLY to you.

Share your Successes with Acorn IS and other Innkeepers

At the Austin Texas PAII conference, I heard Acorn IS Innkeepers one after another sharing their successes they've experienced during the past year.

Many, if not all of these innkeepers have begun to embrace Social Media, attend our Weekly Webinars, be diligent with submitting Press Relelases and many other options they have available to them to increase their business.

If you have a story to share please E-Mail it to Lisa@acorn-is.com and we'll make sure to share it in one of our Blog posts.

Not only will it create an inbound link to your site or Blog, you'll be sharing great ideas with other innkeepers!

PAII MEMBERS WE NEED YOUR HELP AND FEEDBACK!

We are looking for feedback for the up-coming PAII Conferences (both Regional and National).

In Atlanta we provided a our customers an opportunity for Dinner and a short learning session.

In Austin we tried something a bit different and provided a day long hands on class.

We want to know what you would like us to do to help you in Nashua (Regional) and Charleston (National) for the upcoming conferences.

We plan to continue to provide the 30 minute 1-on-1 sessions, but are looking for new and creative ideas for a group get-together and learning sessions!
