OK, Rabbit, spill the beans

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

That's an idea, but if you are someone like me who listens to the radio/music a lot through the computer, website sounds can be a bit annoying, turn them off and everything else goes too.

Er, come again, LV? Just revisited your webby, only to find you've not only defied OH and posted that superb looking cow with wood stack, you've also added a sound bite that makes my twittering birds and gently lapping waves appear decidedly weedy!! :shock: :lol: :lol:

Here it is, folks:

I love it! Don't you dare remove either!

:oops: :oops: I am easily persuaded and it's my business! It isn't on the homepage, I'm not that brave, but I suppose whether potential punters love it or hate it, they won't forget it! Thanks for the inspiration, RR - who knows, you may have started off a whole new trend in websites :wink:

Any links to that page should come with a warning to turn your volume down first - I nearly fell off my chair ! I think a few twittering birds might be needed before the main event :)

Still seems to be there! I like it and it shows that the owner has a sense of humour. I think it's a difficault task to get humour into a rentals website.

No, I just took it off loop, so there is only one Moo now. I think the repeated mooing was bit much and may people may have given up with the enquiry form if they couldn't work out how to get rid of it!

But she's right -
one moo : very funny - I'll book :D

two moos : less funny - OK, I'll book when the mooing stops :?

endless mooing : hit the close button ASAP before the baby wakes up :x

I'm very late into this... but RR I have just seen your web site and the decor you have done in your properties - both the site & your houses you are to be congratulated on... crisp clean and tasteful... I'm feeling very much ... time for update ! Just got to talk the old man round now as he's the chief 'doer' !!
it's all a learning curve!

Thanks for your generous compliments, Tansy! :oops:

Have you got your talk-the-old-man-round-now strategies all sorted? I have a few I can share with you.... :lol:
