THE RECESSION IS COMING SO WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Very simple, next year the Holiday trade is going to take a caning, although because it offers the best value for money by far, the Self Catering sector will do less badly than the rest.
I'm glad we do not own a hotel.
People will book their families into the UK, rather than overseas, and Scotland will be a prime target for holiday cottages. That does not mean we will do well, just less badly hopefully.
So we have enlarged our site with new pages to make it easily the biggest site for information in the area. More than 60% of our site visitors come in through the inside pages when they are looking for general information.
But, and most important, we have revamped our tariff list. We want to get-off season bookings, so we made a survey of all our competitors offers, and pitched ours under them. So on several of the key pages of our site you can see the following message.
"We specialise in short breaks low season. That’s why we keep these rates the lowest in the area"
We are beginning to get enquiries for the Summer and the School holidays, most of these dates are sold before the end of January. But if you want an off season break then visit our website and see if we suit you. Early December is available - not Christmas nor New Year, sorry.
Most of January and all of February, March and April is available, apart from Easter and the odd week here and there.
This is our availability page
People are booking very late indeed, but if you are thinking of an off season break then why not bookmark our site for future reference.
