The holiday property owner's dilemma - Advertising!Q. Will I get more enquiries if I pay more?
A. With some outfits trying to charge hundreds of pounds to list your holiday property on a plethora of web sites, you might think you'd be fully booked all year round! Not so! We speak to owners on a regular basis and ask them where they get their bookings from. Note, bookings - not enquiries. Enquiries count for nothing if they do not turn into bookings! Interestingly, the ones that seem to produce the best results for owners are the ones that charge under £100!
Q. How much should I spend? What is a realistic budget?
A. Well - "no more than you need" is probably the most sensible answer, but not one you'll hear very often! We think a realistic budget is under £200. You can keep within this quite easily by opting for one of the better known companies (typically charging £97 per annum) and a couple of specific/ niche market web sites. Niche web sites (such as this one) have distinct advantages by attracting those holidaymakers who are looking for exactly your type of accommodation in your particular area of France. Holidaymakers (yes, we interview them as well!) tell us that they are often overwhelmed with choice and find the whole exercise rather daunting. Smaller niche market web sites offer fewer properties, thus less competition for you as an owner.
Q. Why do some owners seem to do really well and others struggle?
A. Photos, descriptions and prices! Look at your photos - do they really 'sell' your place? Does your description do justice to your holiday home? Are your prices competitive with other similar properties? If the answers to these 3 questions are yes, you should do well as your competitors; if they are not, take some new photos, re-write your description and review your prices! It is better to have 'bums in beds' than the place standing empty.
We hope the above will assist you in reviewing your advertising and marketing needs for the coming season. We look forward to seeing your property listed on Farmhouse Holidays In Southwest France shortly.
