I've still got 2 cancelled weeks to sell. 1 in August and 1 in September.
I've got a note on the rental websites at the moment advertising the spare weeks but I wondered when have you found the best time is to advertise a 'special' deal - 8 wks before, 2 weeks before?
btw - I've just come to the end of a HL Spotlight advert and although the viewings are up I've not had 1 enquiry even though I'm offering these 2 weeks at a slight discount. I think it proves to me it's not worth renewing.

thanks for that LV...I've set up a 'special offer' on OD; £10 for 2 wks so I hope I catch an enquiry or two.
I know you're booked up in the peak season now - but good news that people are looking at yours for August
Wonder if the increased euro/£ rate has caused a spurt?

I don't update the availability calendar on OD, that has probably got a lot to do with it!Mouse wrote: I know you're booked up in the peak season now - but good news that people are looking at yours for August
Possibly, although I get these last minute enquiries every year. I'm not sure that the increase in value of the £ has been heavily publicised in the general UK media, I only know because I check it every day, saddo that I am.Mouse wrote: Wonder if the increased euro/£ rate has caused a spurt?
Regarding HR...a friend of mine who advertises on there seems to be able to get away with changing her heading to include a special deal!
Maybe they're so large they can't check every alteration?
I tried putting a 'special' on my OD banner but everytime I did they removed it

I have repeatedly tried special offers on various listings sites (obviously I never learn) and they have never produced a single enquiry. So now I don't bother. But we have a standard last minute rate on our website for bookings within 1 month of arrival. I am not sure if they really produce additional bookings - I mean, I don't know if last minute people would have booked anyway, but I think there are so many special prices and offers in the market this year than it does help.
