mayday Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 HiDid anyone use holiday-rentals for advertising last year, including their French site, if so, could you let me know what sort of results you had from themThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miszter Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 We had quite a few enquiries from them, but only one booking, which barely covered the cost of advertising with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 They have been a good source of bookings for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzi05 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've used them for a few years now and (although they have gone up in price) they're our biggest source of bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have used them for years and they have provided a large number of bookings. I also subscribed to their French package last year.However, I have noticed a diminishing number of enquiries from the UK and a marked increase of French and Belgian bookings via their link with the French site Abritel.This, added to the poor exchange rate shown on their renewal page, helped me decide not to renew the advert and I opted to advertise directly with Abritel instead.Since the expiry date of the ad, Holiday-Rentals have contacted me regularly with increasingly large discount on the renewal rate to entice me back. Unfortunately for them, I have already received bookings for most of the summer weeks and I could have booked August five times over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayday Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks everyone, for your input. They've also been trying to entice me back, but, as I never found them a particularly good source of bookings, I have resisted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Chase Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi Guys & Gals,Thought I`d give you some input from the other end - ie. a user.For many years I have booked villas & gites through Agents and Chez Nous mag (their website is awfull to navigate) but after seeing this years Chez Nous catalogue I have turned my back on them and am a complete convert to both holiday-lettings.co.uk and holiday-rentals.co.uk as they both have stacks of properties and you can find just what you are looking for, especially if you know where you want to go (town, city or region). I did try frenchconnections.co.uk but didn`t get on with it. The end result is that I have made 2 bookings for gites this year with the above websites and shall continue using them unless the quality/quantity of the gites changes or I eventually sum up the courage to fulfill my lifelong dream to make the move to France permanatly - though given the current stagnent housing market and owning my own business which also could not sell I guess I am stuck! Cheers, Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
