Ignore any calls like that bessie. They're just chancers trying to hook people into paying money for them to spam other people's business pages. If you want to post on other peoples pages you can, but to be honest it's not good practise unless the page owner has agreed to it. It's like sticking an advert for your business in the window of a shop, but without asking permission and without paying for it.

Do you have a Facebook page yourself, Bessie? If so, it's simple to create an advert without having to pay somebody- you just choose an image, a bit of information, and say what your budget is- it can be very modest- and Facebook will put that advert onto Facebook users pages who have specified" self catering holidays" as an interest. (Or similar key words.)
