The key objective of your advertisement page is to sell your property to potential holidaymakers.
When you are creating your advert always use the ‘Short description’ field to its full potential. This field is shown to potential holidaymakers on the search results pages when they are deciding which property to look at in more detail. Remember first impressions count.
It is vitally important to have your property listed in the most appropriate well known town to attract traffic from the search engines we are registered with. Take a look at the ‘Search by destination’ page to see how other advertisers in a similar location have listed their property. If potential holidaymakers don’t know the name of your town or where it is located are they likely to view or book your property? If your property is located on the outskirts of a far more popular well known town it would be advisable to list it under this location.
We would advise that you include as much useful information about your property and the surrounding area as possible. If your are near a golf course, beach or another attraction then mention this fact as this may be a key priority for someone looking to book a holiday home. People searching for these activities are more likely to be given a link to your page from the search engines we are registered with. The more words in your advertisement page the more content that gets registered with the search engines for your page. Remember to include all the words and phrases that you think potential visitors to your property will search for on the web.
This is your one chance to attract a potential client. Give detailed information for example, a varied pricing structure throughout the calendar year, the facilities your property and the surrounding area offers, directions on how to get there including any cheap flight airlines. If you fail to mention something, is your potential client going to email you for this information or are they going to look at another property that tells them everything they need to know?
When you are creating your advertisement always take a good look at the photos you are using. Are they really doing your property justice? It is good practice to have a good mixture of internal and external photos of your property which are bright and well lit. Remember your photos should be showing off the key points to your property. It is also good to have a few scenic shots of nearby attractions for example, the beach, town, golf course or swimming pool etc. Look at what your target audience is, and sell them the benefits of the property you are offering. Try to imagine yourself as the holidaymaker and what you would be looking for in a property.
