Useful Tidbits: Useful information for all Villa or Holiday Home owners...

Hi Bloggers,

Gone are the days when we would rely on estate agents and travel companies to fill our villas and holiday homes. Most are aware of the benefits the internet and free advertising spaces can offer to cut out the middle man and find guests to fill our vacant properties during the holiday seasons. The problem we face is with so many options and modes of advertising is where to focus our energies to gain optimum exposure, value for money and best service. Having faced similar problems when searching for a spot to advertise my family holiday home in Thassos, Greece I came accross a new company which seems to have hit the nail on the head!

www.villasbook.com

Let me tell you a little bit about the site first and then I will tell you what sets it apart from it's competitors. It is an advertising tool for anyone with a holiday home or villa and is restricted to such. So you can be sure that anyone visiting the site will be focused solely on finding a holiday home to rent in its entirety and not in search of rooms or hotels. The interface of the website is the smartest I have come accross and lends itself perfectly to the desired outcome of publishing your villa and its details in an attractive and clear way. It does not restrict itself to any one location or area of the world and the amount of properties published to the website appears to be increasing on a dialy basis! The website is fairly new and therefore has capacity to have more features added but as a starting point it seems to be superb.

Now to move on to the exciting bits! The unique aspect of this service is that it not only offers a locale to help individual property owners advertise their property most effectively at the lowest possible cost (first 6 months are completely free) but it also offers an option to take bookings directly and offer part of your unsold capacity through “Fast Booker.”

I published my property making use of this system and having got to grips with the technical side of it (supplemented by clear and easy to understand instructions) I was immediately impressed by the sheer power of this tool. In brief, it intends to provide a completely automated service in which people can book the empty dates your property is available without even contacting us - the owner. Of course the only thing left for me to do is make sure I update the system correctly as to when the property is available.

Hope this information is useful to you... let's support a new innovative idea!
