![]() Great idea Don
Can I ask a few questions please? I know it's a new idea, but I'll ask anyway... For the price you mentioned, would that be for a fixed number of hotels? Any problems from a hotel with its own restaurant? Would the restaurant pay monthly, quarterly, yearly? Would you have a "send me a new menu whenever you like and I'll update the guide" arrangement with the restaurants. Are you only targeting the ones in which you have your wall maps? If you have a moment to answer these queries, Don, I'd be grateful Best Nick > I thought I'd SHARE a NEW money-making idea > I just came up with; > Get out your pencils and put on your > "thinking caps"...."Professor > Don is going to teach you something!" > I just finished setting up a program where I > got 8 Hotels to allow me to mount my > "INFO BOARDS" on the wall of their > lobbies.
