Clair Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I believe that several owners here advertise their rental property on Le Bon Coin. I know it's free, but can those of you who advertise there tell me anything about the number of bookings generated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacier1 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 hi clair,I've done this, had a few bookings in a couple of weeks. It works, it's worth the 30mn work, and it's free, my advise....go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Rien de tout! I advertised a couple of heavily discounted weeks in early July - not even an enquiry. I prefer pour-les-vacances.com Any last minute special offers/cheap weeks etc, just mail the lovely Patrice with the details and he adds them to your listing, and he puts your listing in the last minute category (or wherever) at no extra charge - and he seems to be a nice chap. And all for around 60 euros a year - bargain! And I have had quite a few bookings via this site.Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 It's fifty-fifty then! [:D]I suppose it is as good a way as any to try to generate interest all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I adore Le Bon Coin. www.leboncoin.frIt has more genuine bargains than eBay, which seems frequented by dealers. I have taken a look at holiday lettings on LeBC sometimes and click on the ones that are offering special deals. As it's free, Clair, why don't you give it a go and let us know?

dave21478 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I use it a lot and it generates a LOT of interest and bookings. Whenever I put a new ad up, the following few days will see the phone ringing several times a day, and several email requests. If I ever have a few odd days available, if I stick an ad up at a decently cheap price, Im pretty much guaranteed to fill the slot within 48 hours.Infact, I would say it generates the most interest out of all the listings sites I use.
