Most B&B owners don’t struggle with marketing because they lack creativity. They struggle because their brand isn’t clear enough for guests to understand quickly. And in today’s fast-scrolling world, clarity matters more than cleverness. In this episode, we unpack what a B&B brand actually is (and what it isn’t), why trying to “stand out” often backfires, and how unclear messaging quietly attracts mismatched guests. You’ll learn the simple framework that helps guests decide faster — and helps you run your business with more calm and confidence. This isn’t about logos, colours, or sounding impressive. It’s about answering one quiet guest question: “Is this place for someone like me?” By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to describe your B&B in one honest sentence — and use that clarity to guide every future decision. If branding has ever felt heavier than it should, this conversation will lift that weight.
