How to secure more enquiries through your villa website!

Would you get 3000 flyers printed and then leave them in the boot of your car?  No, nor would we, yet the Support Team are regularly asked by Members who have built a fantastic website why they have had no enquiries! The answer is simple, they haven’t done anything with their websites once they have built them.  Here is how to get more enquiries through your villa website!

Link to your Booking Form and Terms from your villa rental website

You can use your Central Management Area (CMA, where you edit your website) to store all the paperwork you use for your villa rental business, meaning you can access them from any PC anywhere in the world at any time!  You can also add a link on your villa website direct to any of these documents, like your Booking Form and Terms & Conditions so visitors can download them straight from your holiday rental website.
