After much boardroom debate (ok more like a chat with the wife, Irene over a cup of coffee,) we have decided to hold our 2011 prices for 2012 with the exception of TT which is still very reasonable and we forgot to increase last year.
The modern way would seem to be to inflate your tariffs to an incredible level and then throw in 'Huge Discounts!' so everyone feels like they've snagged an 'Amazing bargain!'
Indeed on a recent episode of Alan Sugar's 'Apprentice,' one of the hopeful teams was admonished for paying the 'Rate Card' for an advertisement, 'Nobody pays the 'Rate Card.' Well what's the point in having one then!
At the Welbeck, we feel that our rooms are priced to sell but we have decided to forgo the annual rise in the face of increasing costs in seemingly all areas of our business in the hope of remaining buoyant in these ever more difficult economic days.
It is essential to re-invest as we always have since my Mum & Dad bought the Welbeck in 1978, so fingers crossed that we have made a decision that will enable us to sustain this policy.
And there ends the political broadcast for the Welbeck Revolutionary Conservative Party
