.mobi Solutions in Action

Kilburnie.mobi
Presented by Kilburnie, The Inn at Craig Farm

"My inn generates business almost exclusively through referrals and Internet searches. Today, people are more likely to have a mobile phone than a PC. Because people can find our .mobi site, we're seeing more customers because they now have us literally at their fingertips."

Johannes Tromp, Kilburnie proprietor

Company

Tucked away from busy highways and neighboring towns, Kilburnie, The Inn at Craig Farm, offers guests an opportunity to relax. Set among the rolling hills of the Piedmont, Kilburnie is a welcoming bed-and-breakfast with five-star management. Guests experience true southern hospitality in the quiet and graceful comfort of this beautifully restored 1827 antebellum country home.

Solution

Kilburnie offers outstanding hospitality, modern amenities and a gorgeous landscape. Kilburnie has taken an extra step for its clients by providing a .mobi site, which promises easy and efficient access to Kilburnie via the mobile Internet. Kilburnie.mobi offers quick access to directions as well as sweeping views of Kilburnie itself, the surrounding countryside and more.

Reservations are accepted through the mobile site, and the inn continues to see increasing interest and bookings, often made in advance.

Results

Since kilbunie.mobi launched, Tromp has seen its positive impact on Kilburnie’s clientele, especially when visitors need directions to the inn. Kilburnie is off the beaten path, so visitors to the Carolinas have agreed that the inn is not always the easiest to find.

“Kilburnie.mobi has huge benefits for our clients,” says Tromp. “If someone gets lost on their way over they can just look us up on their mobile phone. It keeps them in touch with us as they travel locally. I try to leverage new technologies as I used to do in my days running Windows on the World or the Rainbow Room. We want our customer service to be as modern, available and responsive as it can be.”

Clients agree. “We have given your mobile web site address to all our friends and told them to put it on their list of places to stay when traveling through the South,” said one couple who recently traveled to Kilburnie from Rancho Mirage, California.
