We gave away almost $800 yesterday!

Our 12-12-12 sale is over and we've tallied up the numbers.  Based on the discounts we offered yesterday, the guests who booked saved $796.00 on their upcoming vacation stays at All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower.

No, we weren't overwhelmed with bookings.  But we had two right off the bat just after midnight!  Those folks knew what they wanted and they got it!

So we just want to say "Thank You!" to everybody who participated, and to all of you who have put up with our "advertising" about the sale.  That's our last sale of the year.  We'll decide what to do about 2013 in a couple of weeks, when Angie, Marcia, Nathan and the whole family will be here for Christmas.

Just remember that January to March is a great time to visit the Smokies.  It's not crowded, and our rates are lower than Summer and Fall.  We hope you can join us for a few days of rest after the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

What's half of 12?

SIX

(of course)

My clock is showing just a few minutes before 6:00 pm (Eastern time).  So there are only 6 more hours until our big 12-12-12 sale starts.

I took a nap this afternoon, so I am all ready for your reservation tonight at midnight.  Remember, the rate is only $121.00 per night (plus tax) for all open dates between January 2 and June 30, 2013.

Oh, did you see our last post with the "sale-inside-a-sale" information?  Tomorrow, from 12:12 pm to 2:04 pm, the rate drops to $112.00 per night - but you have to book a minimum of 3 nights.

As always, just go to our websites and click "Book Online Now."  All the information you need is on our websites:

   Smoky Mountain Tower - www.SmokyMountainTower.com
   All Decked Out - www.SmokiesRentDirect.com/All-Decked-Out

If you have a question not answered on our websites, write me at Dave@SmokiesRentDirect.com.  If we have time, we'll post again tomorrow to let you know how things are going.  Hurry and make your plans, and we'll watch for your reservation tomorrow. 

You're gonna LOVE the number 12!

(You'll be sorry if you don't read this entire post!)

You already know that it's just 3 days (that's 1+2 - 12) until our big one-day sale.  On Wednesday, 12-12-12, we're cutting the nightly rate to just $121.00 (plus tax) for all open dates between January 2 and June 30, 2013.  The rate will go into effect at 12:01 am EST and end at 11:59 pm EST.  All you have to do is go to our websites (we'll list them below), click "Book Online Now," and make your reservation.  You will only pay $150.00 down, and the rest is due 30 days before arrival.

But I told you in my last post that we have an EVEN BETTER IDEA.  So here it is:

On Wednesday, 12-12-12, at 12:12 pm EST (just after noon), we're going to lower the nightly rate even more - to $112.00 (plus tax).  That rate will be available for 112 minutes - or until 2:04 pm EST (times are approximate because I can't change rates that fast.  But I promise you that this deal will be available at least between 12:12 pm and 2:04 pm).  So mark your calendar, because you'll save all day long.  But you'll save even more on Wednesday afternoon.  Remember, if you're in the central time zone, the times are from 11:12 am to 1:04 pm.

Oh, there's a small catch for the $112.00 rate.  You have to stay a minimum of three nights instead of our normal two-night minimum.

Now, before somebody asks why we didn't lower the rate to $12.00 a night for just 12 minutes, I'll tell you.  I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid!  If I only charged you $12.00 a night, you'd have to stay more than two weeks just for me to cover the cleaning fee! 

So again, here's all you have to do:

1. Decide now on your dates and which cabin you want to stay in.
2. Mark your calendar so you won't forget to make your reservation this coming Wednesday, 12-12-12.
3. Go to the website for the cabin you want to reserve.                                                                        Smoky Mountain Tower - www.SmokyMountainTower.com        All Decked Out - www.SmokiesRentDirect.com/All-Decked-Out
4. Click the "Book Online Now" button, which takes you to our reservation site.
5. Enter your arrival and departure dates, then click "Review & Book."  Be sure the year is showing 2013.
6. Enter the information requested, follow the prompts, and you'll be all set!

If you need help, click "How to Reserve" on either of our websites.  You can always write to me at Dave@SmokiesRentDirect.  Or if you're REALLY stuck, call me at 828-244-5579.

We'll keep you posted during the day via our blog and Facebook about how reservations are coming in.  Remember, the calendars on our websites are always up-to-the-minute, because they're tied to the reservation system.

See you Wednesday.  Meanwhile, remember...

 12!
