30% of this years income for me came from SH. What I have found worked on two occasions now, was the special offer feature, which is free to use. Perhaps just luck but twice I've had a week still free that I really wanted to shift so put a discount offer on SH. Both times it worked. Yesterday, the last week in August, which refused to sell was snapped up by such an offer. I gave about 8% off. The enquiry was typical Spanish, arriving at 2:30am and demanding an urgent response. Then communications were a bit weird but it's all paid for now.Casscat wrote: I haven't had much luck with Spain-Holiday as yet - one booking from Danish holidaymakers - but when I listed my summer was already pretty much full.
Another Spanish one in May sounded very suspicious, wanting just 2 days. I quoted them 80% of the weekly price to scare them away and they took it!
Dealing with enquiries nearly always brings no further response but the Spanish are definitely different. I assume it's because they are mostly non English speaking but trying to find places through English owners and websites. Hence they don't bother looking at calendars or maximum occupancy.
