Reservation Book

It is never too early to get a reservation book for the upcoming New Year. If you don't already have a 2009 Reservation Book, you should rush right out now to get one right away. Guests and clients like to make reservations well in advance of important dates, so you'll need to be ready and have the 2009 Reservation Book on your desk and ready to be used before someone wants to make a reservation.
When purchasing your reservation book, make sure it lists all of the holidays. Knowing when the holidays will fall is important for making reservations. Some clients may not know the exact date that they want, but will know that it is the day before Hanukkah. If you don't know when Hanukkah is, you'd better have a reservation book that does!
You might want to consider placing your 2009 reservation book under the current 2008 reservation book to make it convenient to get to. If your current book allows for refill pages, add in some pages to the current year so that you don't have to carry both books at once. You can simply use the current book. When the year is over you can pop out the 2009 pages and put them into your 2009 reservation book.
I like using the books with refill pages because it allows you to keep a book for more than a year and it is much more economical to buy refill pages than it is to buy a brand new book each year. In addition, if you completely mess up a page due to changes and erasures, you can easily remove the page and insert a new one and the book will look as good as new. You can't do that with a spiral-bound or a saddle-stitched 2009 reservation book.
