About

I am Kristen Bifulco, experienced lodging owner, manager and Bed and Breakfast Coach, Airbnb Coach. SuiteRev was developed to help small lodging owners discover revenue in their rental spaces (Suites). I specialize in combining direct and online marketing to generate maximum revenue. From pre-planning to re-branding, I direct you on a path that will yield the desired revenue.

I am not a real estate agent.  My end goal is to improve your business. My job as a Bed and Breakfast coach, Airbnb Coach and Business Advisor is to help you see the revenue potential of a property and how to get that revenue out.

In 2008, 2 things happened to change the lodging industry, the market crashed and Airbnb was formed. I owned a bed and breakfast during 2008 and saw the drastic hit my revenue took. Extreme times call for extreme measures. These two components of the economy made me look at the business with a very astute eye. I had a mortgage and 3 kids to provide for. I needed to find the money, and I did. The lodging business has changed so much and everyone has a hand in your pocket. If you know how to navigate the Online Travel Agent environment and implement social media tactics, you will succeed – even in challenging times.

I have found that Airbnb goals and Bed and Breakfast goals are similar. Both give you an opportunity to live in a beautiful destination place, escape the rat race and create revenue. The marketing and online strategies that I use help make the small lodging dream a reality.

In addition to helping hosts and Innkeepers maximize their room rentals, I am a blogger for the Bangor Daily News. The focus of my blog is Innkeeping and the State of Maine Innkeeping. Each State has their unique issues with hosting and Innkeeping. Understanding your local and State laws are important. My strategies are universal and can be used everywhere, but the added component of local laws is essential. The blog on SuiteRev focuses on universal strategies. My Innsights Blog on BDN shows how strategies are interpreted in the State of Maine. I am located on the Coast of Maine and understand the business climate of this unique place. Please check out my BDN Blog also. http://bifulco.bangordailynews.com/  I also manage the MidCoast Maine Airbnb Facebook Group, please join to get daily updates in the midcoast Airbnb community.
