No frills Airlines |
With the advent of the 'no frills' airlines, it is becoming ever more
popular to 'package' your own holiday. And with the advent of the
internet, never has it been easier to tap into this market resulting. Whether you own a holiday cottage and wish to explore the possibilities of renting it out or want to know more about marketing your holiday accommodation over the internet, this page is for you.
|
||
| Are you up to it? |
A letting or booking agent will deduct anything
from 4.7% up to 33% off the weekly rental price to cover the costs
of his services. Some take a flat booking fee of £15 or more for
each booking passed on. Naturally there is a correlation between
the cut taken and the amount of advertising that is done. You may be
wondering if you could not market and sell your holiday
accommodation independently. Going it alone might seem a bit
daunting at first but in reality with the help of the internet
it has never
been easier.

| Web Design |
To succeed you'll appreciate the help of strong
partners who can guide you and support you at every stage. Key to your success is a well designed and informative web site. This can either be made by yourself or look at other web sites in your local area. When you find one which you like ask who designed it. Getting it designed locally means that it can be updated with local information and expanded much more easily. A good web site of a few pages should not cost you more than about £80 / €125. See our web design page for tips and web designers page for more information.

| Availability & Live Booking |
Integral to any web site is the possibility for the
visitor to check latest availability and to book online. Although many web
designers will tempt you into accepting just a feed back form or a manual
booking system whereby you
must constantly delve into your web page programming to make
changes, a much easier and more effective way is for the web
designer to integrate a live booking module programme into your web
site. This also allows you to be alerted by fax or SMS when a
booking is made. This is easy to set up and means that any updates can be done by yourself very simply over the internet. You will no longer forget to mark the current week as not available when it has not been booked as this is done automatically. (This is important for security reasons). And most importantly by adding a live booking module to your web site your accommodation can be found using search criteria. just Booking Ltd are able to supply just such an availability and booking module for just £25 / €37 per accommodation unit per year. A small price to pay for the many advantages which it brings.

| Marketing & Advertising |
Marketing and advertising should be done both
offline in the print medium and online. A good online address such
as www.holiday-cottage.co.uk will get your sales off to
a head start. Here your property will be seen rather than land in a data
bank waiting to be found.

This contains invaluable information such as sample correspondence letters, planners, a terms and conditions template, useful web links and much more to make life easy and bring you success. | ||
