Advertising a week's stay on e-bay

Using press and magazine advertising, brochures, mailings - old hat or still cost-effective?

Good luck Joanna let us know the outcome! I might well get galvanised too!

Does it hurt Catherine, and if so, where? Is it worse than being plagiarised?

No problem Joanna - we aren't really in competition being so far apart (an ocean apart in fact) and in a different price band! Now if you were in the next village to me I may feel a bit different about it...
I suppose the only thing that bothers me (a bit) is my tagline which I often use in my advertising: "Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave" But then again I do not have copyright on this phrase and I in turn nicked it from a golf course's website so I can't really complain can I??!!! :) :wink:

I hope you are successful with your ebay ad, let us know how you get on.

Any problem if I use:

Hard to Reach, Easy to Leave?

It would be great for our chalet, slogging up our mountain in winter, and offer a bit of a challenge for the macho skier.

Ros! I'm a free spirit - that's not my chain, it's my little bell, to warn people that I'm on my way! Works a treat - fields empty in minutes, and I get the grazing all to myself!

No Gasc... You misunderstood me..... :?

You asked Joanna ,how long the chain was.......thought you had your eye on a tasty looking piece of pasture[or a goat of the opposite gender...[put mountain down] and wanted to know if the chain would be long enough. to reach......

Didnt mean your ding a ling but I bet that has its uses..... :wink: :oops: :lol:

OK Ros, thanks for explaining.

I've thought of another one - 'Once been, never forgotten'. Only problem is that there are two possible ways of interpreting it!!
:(

Guess I should stick to the day job.
