What is villaholidayhomes.com? |
| • |
villaholidayhomes.com is the culmination of almost 3 years of extensive
research into the villa holiday market. We have investigated villa
holidays from both ends of the spectrum, the holidaymaker and the
property owner and feel that we have extensive knowledge of both aspects.
Our web design team has created an easy to use yet comprehensive and
professional website that is easy to use for both customers and property
owners. |

Are you new? |
• |
Being a new company we can
offer a fresh, dynamic perspective to the industry, whereas many of
the companies that provide a similar service are old, their websites
have lost their edge due to years of trading without updates. Unlike
most of these companies villaholidayhomes.com is not an ‘obligatory
supplement’ of a brochure. Such sites are often dated, inefficient
and fail to inspire confidence in people looking for holidays. |

Why should I advertise with you? |
• |
We feel that we can offer a service superior to that of
our competitors in terms of value for money. Property owners at present
are being charged very high prices by many of the bigger companies on the web.
Despite paying large advertising fees many people
who we have contacted as part of our research are unsatisfied with
the standard of customer care they receive. The long established companies
act as if they have a monopoly over property owners and can treat
them as they please, but here at villaholidayhomes.com we see you
as a valued customer not just a reference number who gives us money. |

Why should I advertise online?
|
| |
Research shows that more and more people are using the internet to book holidays and more and more people are taking villa holidays. The shift has been from package holidays to more independent travel and villaholidayhomes.com has been specifically designed to target and cater for this type of holidaymaker. The internet allows holidaymakers to view the property 24 hours a day and allows access from a worldwide target audience, giving you massive exposure. |

How do I add my property to your system? |
| |
The system is simple to use. You can add, change or delete text and pictures on your advert. The updates may take around 1 business day for us to check and add to your advert although your previous advert will still be live on the website. This eliminates any down-time of your advert - something many other websites don't do.

How are you going to attract holidaymakers? |
| |
We plan an aggressive marketing campaign to lift the business in its early stages and give you, the owners, maximum exposure to holidaymakers. In recent years increasingly larger numbers of holidaymakers have searched for and found their holidays online, therefore, we believe that a strong emphasis must be placed on online marketing. We have invested money in search engine optimisation ensuring that we are one of the first websites listed when people enter relevant keywords in all the major search engines including Google and Yahoo. We will follow up our online marketing campaign by advertising in national broadsheets and travel supplements ensuring that many people hear about villaholidayhomes.com |
