mikerider Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Last season a Maine Hotel had an uptick of business thanks to some QuebecRider members staying at the hotel due to the border closure. The owner was very appreciative of our stays there and made mention he might like to be an advertiser on QuebecRider. With the vaccine mandates, mandatory testing and other hoops to get across the border this winter, I suspect some members may choose not to cross the border and opt instead to ride in the states. A few QuebecRiders have already made upcoming reservations with this hotel for the coming winter. I just wanted to check with members to make sure there is no angst of having a Maine hotel advertising on these forums before I contact the owner and see if he is still interested. Let me know if you have concerns. mike nyskidooerinnewhampshire, dooright, MrGutz and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I am planning to stay there at least a couple nights this year. Beyond that, I don't have an issue. Later GutZ mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Perhaps a separate section? I'm always interested in various sledding areas and certainly a few commercial links come in handy to bookmark for future visits: http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2021_11/1849171987_u.s_info.jpg.dd9c730b211efaa9d2117f2908a33d61.jpg MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted November 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I am thinking that for a paid ad the hotel owner would want equal coverage for his ad. The introduction of the new advertiser on the forums is probably a bigger ad than the ad itself. I haven't been getting much feedback from people whether some will pass on Quebec one more season or not due to the hoops of crossing the border, vaccine mandates, mandatory testing, less restaurant and bar hours and less seating etc. and the probable high price of gas. Should the border restrictions ease in the next month or two and should Quebec ease all their restrictions, I'm guessing there will be no doubt we will all be drinking beer in Quebec this winter. And for sure things will return to normal by 2023. Like I said, if there is push back from members about this, I won't pursue it. The owner of the hotel is a great person and I am sure he isn't looking for controversy. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I just reviewed the rules outlined on the Advertising page. I did not see anything that would say a Maine motel could not advertise on QR. We have paid advertisers that are not based in Quebec now. Quite simply our Advertisers keep this site on the web. Perhaps we can get an opinion from Scorpionbowl or CKF before we give the Motel a green light. dooright and mikerider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doo4adoo Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I have no concerns so long as we don’t have 100’s of ads in our feeds lol I also don’t think it will be an issue this winter for those that come for extended stays. While I don’t live in Quebec I live next door and it appears their are less hurdles and all should be good. We up here have very high vaccination rates now and I think it would be hard for them to lockdown unless it’s found these vaccinations are useless. Yes fuel is getting more expensive but I am sure it’s not just us. Also remember you get a 25% discount with the exchange. I’m thinking my biggest hurdle this winter will be preplanning well in advance for rooms. Last winter was tough at times and this I expect will be harder given the influx of new riders. The only thing that might help out is everyone’s new sleds being delayed 😀 mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
