Don't you hate it when you're planning to spend $47,000 for a four-night hotel stay in Washington D.C., but you're afraid you'll be so busy with luxury that you'll forget to live-tweet the experience?

 

To honor the luxurious experience of being one of the roughly 750,000 people who'll watch President Obama get sworn in for his second term, the Madison Hotel now offers a "Inaugural Town and Country" package. That includes, in addition to a $5,000 gift certificate for clothes, the exclusive services of a dedicated "social media butler."

 

Digital marketer Victoria Devine will

Devine said that though she's never butlered before, she does have experience live-tweeting conferences for previous clients.

 

•     Four night stay in one of The Madison’s Presidential Suites
   
•     Dedicated Social Media Butler, Anchor Media’s Victoria Devine to chronicle your Inaugural experience so your friends and family can follow your adventures on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. The Social Media Butler will post on all of your accounts so you don’t have to fumble for your phone to catch that perfect Facebook profile picture!
   
•     Private Presidential Inauguration tour for you and 22 of your friends.  Listen to the stories and see the scenes of past Presidential Inaugurations, with stops for photos at the south side of the White House, the East side of the Capitol, and the memorials of President Lincoln, Korean War, Vietnam War memorials, and Arlington Cemetery with a visit to the John F. Kennedy gravesites.  This tour is created exclusively by Cultural Tourism DC
   
•     A $5,000 shopping experience at Brooks Brothers to perfect your town and country wardrobe
   
•     Personal town car and driver for the length of stay at The Madison and to Lansdowne on January 22

Since most of us couldn't possibly afford the above mentioned tour, let us take away a more valuable idea from this story; become a social media butler!  If you are fluent in the ways of social media, and have a personality designed to enhance a special experience instead of detract from it, this might be a wonderful career for you! (And somebody that I might hire someday)

What does it really take to be a butler? Check out this video made by Steven Ferry, the face of The International Institute of Modern Butlers. I'm really hoping he gets his own reality show someday!
