Help, Friend in need

[MarillionFan]

Who does he rent it from?

I was thinking he could start a clay pigeon shooting centre, or archery club, if there's room. But the lease may have conditions that prevent certain activities (and a brace of decent shotguns, or even bows and arrows, don't come cheap)

How about advertising on fetish sites? Maybe have a fetish party. Dungeon in the house, human horse carts, giant dildo statue in the garden. They pay top dollar for an out of town place!

OK I'm going to throw this out there in the hope that the community can come up with some help.

I have a friend (that I met while renting a room in Knutsford). He is a painfully nice bloke, and even under the pressure of repossession is still calm and painfully nice. I really want to help him, but I have to hold my hands up, we are at the ends of my expertise.

He rents this place Accomodation near Knutsford Cheshire, Northwich - Aston Park House

Now arguably not the best website, as I knocked it up for him very quickly in a couple of hours over two years ago, to bring in some guests. This was more the icing on the cake but now it is his last hope.

It has brought in guests, but it has all gone quiet again.

So here's the thing. Obviously a lifetime discount for all CUKers who may work in the Cheshire area, this is a fact. And freebie holidays for those who help in the near future.

I registered him with laterooms.com last night but they have still not called.

I put an Adwords campaign in last night for £30 (budget is tight) and he has had over 3000 impressions and 2 clicks.

I have re-ordered the title of the index page put the word Accomodation and Knutsford nearere the start.

I am not a webbo, nor aspire to be and this was all done over a pint 2 years ago, so for him to call be out of the blue in last chance saloon mode is something of a surprise. That said he is a proper nice bloke and never once laid the guilt trip, and is painfully nice about the whole thing, even though I know this is his livlihood.

If you don't want to post and would rather PM advice then please do.

Sorry to the mods and admin for cluttering up the board with this nonsense, I am trying everything I can behind the scenes and just want to make sure I am trying every possible angle for him.

If anyone does contact him for accomodation please mention CUK first to get the hefty discount.

Thanks

Don't you run a business? why don't you employee him in these tough times?

Try the low tech way.

Buy him a book as a late xmas present.

Putting Heads on Beds: The Complete Practical Guide to Marketing Your Independent Hotel or Guest Accommodation: Amazon.co.uk: Michael Cockman: Books

Then at least you will be reading something by someone who knows.

As he tried faking his own death and heading off to South America?

That's a good idea. Have about 8k more for a limited time, let's see if that works at all.
