Friday, October 17, 2008 Sometimes we look at hotel owners and their families in Quebec as buisiness people only. When we do this - we are missing the boat. Take Richard for example, up at Auberge Mekinac. Richard has been a computer programmer since 1980, and has reached the top of his proffession at fifty something. His wife is beautiful and loves him desperately - I love to see that. His kids play hockey, and are supported 100% by their mom and dad. They all live in an apartment on the main floor of the hotel. The main cook has been Yves (above) for eight years. The food is terrific- simple and healthy. The prices are cheaper than reasonable. The place is clean as a whistle, and lights are out at 11 pm. Everyone goes to bed. Richard is no slouch. He has invested half a million in renovations alone over the past 8 years. The beds are all brand new- and I like that. The bathrooms are all brand new - tile, fixtures, everything. The place is on the three main trails that are just north of Shawinigan. But the reason I like this place is simple. Family. If you want to come up to Quebec to get drunk, find some other place - this is not for you! Richard's family group helps snowmobilers to have fun, stay safe, and make great family memories to cherish for a life time. It's a whole lot more than a business at Mekinac, it's family. Look for me here this year, I hope to stay here often. Crazy Al and Bernard are both gone, but the spirit of hospitality lives on at Auberge Mekinac . Good luck Richard, and God bless your big family! XOXOXOX ZEN
Promote Your Snowmobile Business Promotion de Commerce
Motoneige Is your snowmobile motel or garage stuck in the middle of no-where? Do you have a quality snowmobiler accommodation or snowmobile & ATV rental service to offer, but have no way to promote it? Let Zenwaiter get the word out for you fast, with the power of the World Wide Internet. I have been promoting snowmobile, ATV, hunting and fishing camps and destinations, for nine years. I can help you, and it doesn't have to cost a fortune! Here is the offer. A) ZENWAITER FRONT PAGE STORY:During snowmobile season, from two to five thousand snowmobilers a day, visit the main Zenwaiter.com web site every day. Now you can get your photo with your friends and clients, and your logo, on our front page, with a link to your site. This is very powerful advertising for your motel or snowmobile related business. When our readers see a photo of your snow, your trail, or your motel, or your snowmobile product, they will call and do business with you. Our front page report/stories are usually under 100 words and include a photo. This story will stay on the front page, at the top, for a few days, then it will start to move down the page, as new stories are added at the top. After a few weeks, the story will be moved onto a permanent Archived Page, and will be accessible for years. (This product does not require Zen to visit your location.) In the snowmobile season, this front page changes daily. It features important news items daily, plus occasionally, we slip in a sponsored story, like yours! See Zenwaiter.com front page here. B) 'ZEN TALK' SNOWMOBILE RADIO PODCAST SHOW:Thousands of snowmobile fanatics visit Zenwaiter.com every day, and now they could listen to you, talking to Zen on 'Zen Talk' , our popular radio podcast. The listeners will learn about your place, and find out about your web site. On the show, you can talk about your hot tub, your trails, the friendly staff in your bar, or your excellent snowmobile club. (This product does not require Zen to visit your location.) Our podcasts can run from fifteen minutes to 40 minutes. This will be our third season. We produced 63 shows last year, and all the shows are now available for free download to your ipod, on ITUNES.com. This weekly show is heard by snowmobilers all over the world. Listen to one of our Archive 'ZEN TALK' podcast shows here.
D) Snowmobile BLOG TV LIVE: Something new. Blog TV is a new technology that allows you to broadcast LIVE from your motel, if you have a wireless modem. Zen will walk around your motel, through the rooms, hallways, bar and restaurant, and even out into the parking lot. The production value is not strong, but the fact that the people can watch it LIVE, or on tape afterwards, is what makes it so effective. PLUS, the viewers can also log on, and 'chat' with Zen, while he is broadcasting! This is really fun. People can go back to the archives any time and view the shows over and over, for free. When they see Zen actually walk up to people in your bar or parking lot, and ask them how the trail conditions are, WOW, that is true LIVE excitement, and really makes them want to come see your motel! Our Blog TV segments are usually about ten to fifteen minutes to a half hour in length. (Zenwaiter must visit your place to do this work.) To view BLOG TV, click here .F) Custom made Photo Album Many snowmobilers search through the online Zenwaiter Photo Albums every year to find their next snowmobile destination. Get your own album inside the Zenwaiter Photo Site. We will build an album for you. This price includes the virtual album, and two hours of instructional support for you over the phone. You must learn how to post your own photos. We will create the photo album, and get you started. (If Zen has visited your place, we will also post some of his best photos for you, at no charge, otherwise we must use your pictures). Visit our Photo Album site here... G) Your Own Snow Conditions Bulletin Board: We can set you up your own personal snowmobile trail conditions bulletin board, where you can tell the world about current conditions in French and in English if you choose. Your bulletin board encourages readers to write to you, to ask specific questions about your motel, and when you answer, everyone can read the answers that you give. We will build and promote your bulletin board inside our main disscussion board site, and even create topics within the board for you, such as, "How to get here, Snow Trail conditions, Upcomming events in your area, Get your Trail Pass Here, and more topics, that engage the reader. This price includes the virtual board, plus two hours of instruction and support for you over the phone. (This product does not require Zen to visit your location.)

Jean Beaulieu in St-Tite,
and Bob Petit in Joliette
There are, for example, thousands of camper trailers and motorhomes that come here for two weeks. The streets are full of horses, and there is country music blaring everywhere. This summer a pile of American sledders came up to enjoy the party and stayed with Jean. This guy knows how to show you a good time. He also guides you around the trails, he rides every day.

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Montreal QC - - October 22, 2008: That's me on the left - In the centre is Marc Thibeault from www.motoneiges.ca , and on the right is Bob Petit, Quebec author, broadcaster, and snowmobile pioneer in Quebec. In English check out www.sledmagazine.com All three of us are using the Internet to promote truth, safety, sobriety, and sanity on Quebec Trails. We also write about the new technology, trail conditions, destinations, and more. We have all but abandoned the printed page, owned by the man, for the freedom and power of the Internet. Visit Bob's website here.. http://www.bobpetit.ca/ Bob uses hundreds of photos and videos to chronicle the history of ATV and snowmobile activity in Quebec, and much much more. Bob has a unique perspective, because he was organizing snowmobilers back when it all began in the 1960's, and he has been recognized by everyone, and every level of government and ngo's for over 40 yrs of volunteerism. He has won every snowmobile tourism honour and award there is, and a few that were created just for him. He still writes weekly articles for local newspapers and appears on snowmobile tv shows regularly. He is Mr Snowmobile in Quebec, and deserves our recognition and our respect. He has built a small museum on his property, that documents the truth of Quebec's snowmobile development history. Get ahold of me, and I can set you up a personal tour. He is in St-Jean-de-Matha. http://www.zenwaiter.com/ has been "on the air" (Internet air that is) for nine years. I found it exhilarating to have the power to spread good helpful information to the snowmobile community, and I found it cool to be part of the snowmobile family. When I go to a show, I get hugs and appreciation from my readers. I feel I have helped many people to create family memories with their favorite sport, by helping them to organize holidays and avoid some pitfalls. This winter I am still pushing ahead with three Radio Podcasts a week, where I interview everyone and anyone about sledding. I am also experimenting with my web cast on Blog TV. This is where I broadcast live and record at the same time, then store the video on http://www.blogtv.com/ Search for Zenwaiter. I also have a regional photo album, a YOUTUBE station with over a hundred video clips, a discussion board and way more, too much to mention. Marc in the centre, heads up a popular French language snowmobile magazine that is growing online. There was a huge buzz around his booth at the Quebec City Sled Show. He told me in an interview on Zen Talk, that he hopes to provide snowmobile trail conditions, provide an events calendar, and has a special long trial period evaluation program, where five of his gang get a free sled to drive around all winter. I guess they write detailed reports for the readers on their impressions of the machines. (I wish I had thought of that idea - I still have to pay for my own sled after nine years! hahah). Good for you Marc! I hope your web site will live long and prosper. You sure have people excited about it, that's for sure. Most of the articles I found on his site are press releases from the manufacturers, which is handy. If I have time this winter, I'll send you a few of my own to re-print on your English side. http://www.sledmagazine.com/
This woman rides over 7,000 kilometers per year on some of Quebecs best trails, somewhere midway between Quebec City and Lac St Jean, the inland sea. She is no Internet pretender - she's the real article. A special ed school teacher by day, and a sledder every weekend. Visit her web site for more http://www.admdq.org/ This will be winter number nine for me online, talking about sledding. Did I make any money yet? Nope. I got a free jacket from a snowmobile apparel sponsor, and I get complimentary rooms now and again, but I feel I have earned all of that. I have paid my dues. I think this Podcast Radio thing on I-Tunes that I have going, just may one day pay off! Imagine if I-Tunes one day, allows me to charge one buck for every download of my show. Then I could pay my rent! Thanks everyone for reading this story. I hope to hear from you this winter. Come be a guest on my Zen Talk snowmobile radio show. Send me photos of your trip for my albums. Make comments on my disscussion boards about the trail conditions. Send in a cash donation if you win the state lottery! hahaha. (no really) or become a sponsor through your business. Stay safe out there, and feel free to email me if you have any qns about sledding in Quebec this winter. I'm connected! I'd love to help out if I can. Cheers!
E) Zen's BLOGCHEESE: Video Blog:Blogcheese is a very powerful tool, for helping people to find you. It is a web site that allows us to post a 1 minute video about your motel.
