A Few Success Stories

During the G-8 Conference in Georgia, Rob Sales spoke out for his own bed and breakfast business when G-8 organizers were pressing that all media attendees should lodge at one central hotel -- the Westin on Hutchison Island in Savannah, Georgia.  Pre-bookings from the national media to the small B&Bs in Savannah teetered on being lost.  With Rob's forthright appeal through local media and to the national press, the bookings were saved for many small B&B inns and Savannah historic district hotels.

While owners of Hamilton-Turner Inn, the world famous mansion was featured in Esquire, Southern Living, New York Times, Food Network, American Airlines' Latitudes (now American Way), U.S. Airways' Attache' and location host to WTOC-TV's family Christmas feature broadcast.

In her role as President of the Association of Historic Inns of Savannah, Jane's leadership pushed the historic bed and breakfast inns into the public forefront with a bold city bus ad to promote the premier Savannah historic bed and breakfast mansions and boutique hotels.

With a focus to welcome even the youngest visitors, Jane and Rob Sales bravely carved a family-friendly niche within the scope ofHamilton-Turner Inn's marketing at the Savannah luxury inn.  This daring approach won the world-famous Inn and the innkeepers exceptional recognition, including praise from international socialites traveling with young grandchildren, and from a British diplomat's family who arrived at the Inn on Christmas Eve ... to await a an exciting visit from Father Christmas.

Not only in the arena of community and historic inn preservation,  Jane and Rob Sales have earned reputations as avid natural world preservationists.  During Hurricane Katrina, the Sales were among the thousands of quiet philanthropists contributing to the underdogs, literally -- the displaced animals.
