Yes, it is. The advert costs you nothing. We work very hard to create a professional promotion of your property (as you will have seen with existing adverts), and we spend thousands of pounds hard copy advertising in the UK. For the 2008 letting season we are increasing our advertising budget by moving into the USA and Canadian markets.
If we fail to bring you bookings, there's nothing in it for us. That keeps us on our toes. We add a small commission to the rental you expect to receive, and it is only if we find you clients, and secure rental income, that we get paid by the client.
In the UK we advertise several properties in the Chez Nous magazine, widely accepted to be the most broadly read French holiday let magazine in the UK. We also advertise all year round in the French Magazine, a monthly publication which we hope gets left in doctors surgeries etc. We also invest heavily in Google Adwords which is an internet search engine 'pay per click' advertising method. At strategic times during the year we also put classified ads in the Sunday Times Travel Supplement.
We want to break into the American and Canadian markets. To this end we will begin advertising a handful of properties in the VRBO website this summer. We are confident that this is going to open up new markets for us, which in turn helps to guarantee high demand.
We arrange a visit of your property so that we can view and familiarise ourselves with the product we are going to advertise. You can see from our existing adverts that we make a real effort with every property to bring out its unique character. We construct the advert using digital photographs supplied by you. If you would like us to take professional photographs for your advert (which greatly increases the rentability of your property), there is a small administrative fee. We then host the advert on our site on the internet, FREE of charge.
Before we do that however we contact you to make sure you are happy with the advert, that the details are correct, and we make whatever amendments you feel are necessary.
Every advert has its own availability page which can be updated by email. If you have several gites in one property we provide availability pages for each gite individually.
A no lose gamble for you, so go on, get in touch.
We look forward to doing business with you.
