Marketing your holiday property

Getting people to rent your property is fairly easy, but advertising can be expensive, so you need to reach your target audience every time and turn enquiries into bookings. A good advertisement needs to have enticing copy, lots of details and above all, photographs. Remember, when people book your property for the first time, they only have your advertisement to rely on. We have extensive experience in renting property to key European clientele in the UK, Germany, Holland and France.

There are many different advertising media too, brochures, web sites, agents, even direct mail. We have found that the most cost-effective is advertising on web sites. There is space for more information on a web site, a small ad in a brochure costs the same as a whole page of information on a web site, and of course the potential audience is much greater. We can help develop your advertisement, deal with registration on a variety of proven web sites and even help create a web site of your own.

Administration

Once you have advertised your property, you have to deal with enquiries. This is in fact the "critical" time, when enquiries are converted to bookings. You need to deal with every enquiry promptly, especially if you are using a web site as your advertising medium. You will need to have a good overview of availability and a clear pricing schedule. We can relieve you of this burden, taking care of enquiries on your behalf, preparing and sending booking forms, terms and conditions, documentation about your property, how to get there etc., and helping you set your rental rates correctly.

Setting up your rental property

Preparing your property for rental can be time-consuming and expensive. We can provide you with a checklist of the "minimum" requirements for a holiday cottage, including lots of things that you might not immediately think of (fire extinguishers, first aid kits, torches, extra bedding etc.). We can also help you source these items if necessary.

Property rental consultation service

We offer a comprehensive evaluation service to those people who wish to rent their holiday home especially relevant to clients who are new to this business or who are not domiciled locally. We suggest appropriate rental levels and changes necessary to attract and enhance lettings.
