Inntopia.com

Once you sign up, your listing is available through over 7500 partner web sites, including IBBP.com. There are no upfront or recurring costs - you only pay a 5% or 10% commission for bookings that you receive online. When you sign up for online reservations, you automatically are assigned an inntopia.com reservation specialist that is your personal consultant. The specialist helps walk you through sign up and answers any further questions. See http://www.ibbp.inntopia.com to join.
Webervations.com:
Webervations offers a low flat annual fee (no commissions on bookings) reservation link that allows your potential travelers to check real time availability and make instant bookings. Through IBBP.com's partnership with Webervations, we can offer our customers $60/per year (which is $20 off the regular webervation.com rate. If you would like to sign up for this service, use the following link to get to the webervations form http://ibbp.webervations.com/signup/index.asp.
Webervations is an easy system to use and manage inventory. It is compatible with other popular reservation software, so you don't have to enter your availability information twice! Your Inn's inventory can be kept current by either using Webervations user-friendly online forms or by uploading directly from many in-house property management and reservation programs. Some systems that upload into Webervations include: Front Desk, GuestALL, Guest Tracker, InnFormed Manager©, InnKontrol, InnOvation©, and INNPAL. Some users upload availability directly from Microsoft Access. File specifications are available to allow automatic uploads to be developed from most in-house property management and reservation programs.
Why IBBP offers Inntopia.com and Webervations.com?
IBBP supports both Inntopia and Webervations systems because we strongly believe that each of system can add value to our listed Inns. If you opt for Inntopia - you don't pay a penny until Inntopia brings you a guest and your accommodation shows up on every site that is an associate of Inntopia. If you opt for Webervation.com - you pay an annual low flat fee no matter how many bookings you receive. A few bookings from Webervations will pay off your investment and you will not pay a penny beyond that.
