Winner Carmen visits!

You can see Carmen's Cedaroma visit report on her blog at http://carmenscreativechatter.blogspot.com/2013/03/cedaroma-lodge.html

Last fall when I took over the Cedaroma website and facebook page with 58 fans, I wondered how ever in the world are we going to get folks to know about Cedaroma. I started looking at marketing options and keyed in on Discover Wisconsin, the popular Wisconsin travel TV show, www.Facebook.com/DiscoverWisconsin. When I asked about their options for partnering with lodging properties, I was told all the spaces for our region were taken. Then I asked about their internet promotions and was sent to an outside the box thinker, Chad.

I knew I wanted whatever we came up with to be Facebook centric and we quickly came up with an outline we both liked. After sending in a few photos, the Discover Wisconsin team was able to pull together a marketing prized drawing that ran for a month. Our goal was to get as many people as possible familiar with Cedaroma Lodge. We encouraged folks to sign up for a drawing by liking our Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/Cedaroma. Besides the grand prize of a complimentary week's stay, we also offered every signup a third night free, late check out and a complimentary bottle of wine. There was really no reason not to sign up and follow us on Facebook. Hopefully the posts and photos we have publshed over the recent months have kept people's interest in the lodge and inspired a curiousity strong enough to make reservations and see for themselves all the things we are writing about.

Discover Wisconsin administered the program and picked the winning entry on December 20th, just in time for the Holidays. Since then we have met a handful of folks who have stayed with us for their third night free and our Discover Wisconsin Grand Prize Winner, Carmen, came and stayed with us this last weekend. Carmen is a crafter/scrap booker and had a wild weekend with the tools of her hobby spread out in cabin 5.

Carmen's report has some good pictures too: http://carmenscreativechatter.blogspot.com/2013/03/cedaroma-lodge.html

If you have stayed with us and posted Cedaroma Lodge photos online or have a blog yourself with a post discussing a visit to Cedaroma , let me know I would love to check it out and could do a linkback to your post/pictures.

If you vacationed with us and would like to tell the world about your visit, we sure would appreciate it, there are rare things more valuable than customer reviews. If you have a travel or review site that you favor, post there. If you don't have one yet, www.TripAdvisor.com is a good place to post. You can find the Cedaroma Leave a Review link here:
