Promoting your property...

Our bookings record is excellent, but we never rest on our laurels…

We always look for new ways to promote our business and your property!

The UK self catering holiday season typically extends from Easter to October and our cottage holidays booking record is excellent – we regularly achieve an average of 21weeks of available capacity let per property. But we never rest on our laurels, and always look for new ways to promote our business and your property.

We’re well connected...

Teams of marketing,website and IT specialists play a crucial role in Marsdens Cottage Holidays’ relationship with its homeowners. Strategic advertising promotions, direct mail initiatives and attention-grabbing media campaigns make sure that our name is far and wide, and we work closely with the local tourism agencies to ensure that Marsdens Cottage Holidays is front-of-mind whenever their staff are promoting holidays in the South West.

• A full-colour brochure is printed annually and distributed to loyal customers and key media contacts on publication, then sent to new customers and enquirers throughout the year.

• An advertising campaign in national and regional newspapers, magazines and tourism guides,makes sure the Marsdens name is familiar to thousands of readers.

• Our fully-interactive website attracts thousands of visitors each week thanks to our intensive web-marketing campaign. The website allows visitors to view all self catering cottages, reserve the property of their choice, learn about the area and see what’s on with our detailed events pages.

• We also have a presence on many regional and national websites – both private and public sector –with direct links to our website.

• Regular Google AdWord campaigns ensure top billing on search engines.

• We send regular mailings – both on email and on paper – to our large database of customers and enquirers,with special offers plus news of seasonal promotions and new properties.

• We have a busy PR schedule, resulting in coverage of late deals in a range of print and web-based media, special features in a variety of newspapers, and the hosting of familiarisation trips for journalists from regional, national and international publications.

• We have our own pages on Twitter and Facebook, both important social media platforms which give us the opportunity to promote our business and your South West cottage to some 350,000,000 people around the world.

• We are a member of Cottageline, a countrywide association of privately-owned independent holiday cottage agencies who pride themselves on having intimate knowledge of their cottages and local areas. Cottageline includes links to our own website and highlights ‘featured properties’ from our portfolio.

• We own a huge number of other websites which give us the opportunity to ‘repackage’ our property portfolio in a variety of ways –we have sites catering specially for those seeking self-catering accommodation for large groups, or holiday homes in specific locations, for example.

As you can see, there are many ways in which we can market your property. If you are particularly interested in involving your property in special promotions and offers, or if you have a great idea, simply contact us to set the ball rolling!
