I rent holiday properties
Lucky you! We are jealous with a capital J and hope it’s somewhere delightful like Mallorca, the English Lakes, a Tuscan vineyard or Ireland’s wild West Coast. How do you promote it, Facebook alone, TripAdvisor, AirBnB, other? If you’d rather promote your property by sharing your own website, to cut out those middle people and their hefty commissions, a website might be just what you need.
Why a website?
You can show the images you want to share and update them whenever you like. You can feature your favourite testimonials and update them at will. You can create additional content to encourage people to book, such as by linking to local events, activities and key dates. Be the boss of your own shop window.
Sync your online bookings
If you manage your own bookings (or want to) you can embed booking software like Smoobu or Guesty into your website to allow bookings on your own site while maintaining your presence on other sites like AirBnB. Your availability will sync across every site you appear on, in real time, no matter where your guests made their booking. Banish fears of double booking, earn more per stay and reduce the admin of basic availability enquiries.
Refresh your existing site
If you already have a site but need a new one, the above applies to your new website too. If your site’s even five years old, prepare to be Very Pleasantly Surprised at how user-friendly the ‘back-end’ of websites has become. If you’re currently paying someone else to manage your site, you mightn’t need to do that anymore. We’ll let you in on some website secrets once your new site is up and running so you can manage it yourself with ease in future.
Use our talented writers
We’re lucky enough to have an in-house travel copywriter who’s written for top UK travel brands such as Sawday’s Special Places to Stay, Secret Compass Expeditions, TravelLocal and Sidetracked magazine. If you’d prefer to work with her to create or refresh your site rather than supplying the words yourself, just ask. And if she has to go to Tuscany, well, one does what one must in the name of an honest day’s work…
