I got an email from Handpicked Cottages today - a subscription based website for advertising self catering properties. I've never heard of them. The mail says its a new website. Their twitter account started in June 2017. Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this site, good or bad?
Hardly "handpicked" if they are pumping out cold call e-mails for subscribers. I'm supposing niche players like Sawdays make a living out of listing but surely the big players are too big to take on? BTW with ABnB going down a premium offering route maybe that days are numbered for niche players.
The charges are on their website. It’s quite a bit I think £150 &vat but may be a bit more.
That’s a lot of investment (gamble??) for an untested website advert.
The mail they sent me offered it at half that but I can’t help thinking they are going to struggle to get many web visitors. I agree that ‘handpicked’ sounds a bit of a misnomer if anyone can advertise with them!
