Special packages for providers of holiday accommodation

In an ideal world,  as a holiday accommodation provider, you'd like all your rooms or units fully occupied and booked well in advance. If you're well established, popular and have a large number of repeat visitors there's chance you might be in this position.

But what if you're not? Or you want to tap into the higher end of the market where the margins are usually greater? How can you reach more people or better-paying guests?

The answer is via the Internet. Even if you have a website and are registered with a number of on-line directories and tourist websites, does your website sell your services effectively? More and more people are using the Internet to find and book holidays these days and they are getting choosier! If you want your B & B/cottage/small hotel to stand out and attract these people you need a professional website. That's where we can help - and for less than you think.

Clarihon are offering websites to Guest Houses, Self-catering and small Hotel owners three levels of help with the marketing of your accommodation.

If you don't believe the difference a quality website can make (even one not designed by us), see what a business colleague of ours has to say -

“After investing much thought, time & energy into an entirely online marketing approach, sales for our holiday cottage business have doubled in less than 12 months.” Andrew Martin, Rowse Farm Cottages (www.rowsefarm.co.uk), Cornwall.

Basic package

For only £375 you can have a professionally-designed five page website with your photos, your choice of colours and your text. Included is the first year's web hosting costs ('housing' the website, normally £100) and five e-mail addresses.

Based on the supplied template, we take your pictures (or we can source others for a small fee), your preferred colour scheme and the wording you supply, and build a first class website customised just for you.

For an example website, developed from the template, see the fictional Bed & Breakfast website.

Extended package

For those that offer additional meals and/or other services, and want to advertise this, we have the Extended Package. Based either on the Basic Package template or a custom design, it offers a selection of add-on pages for your website. AVAILABLE SHORTLY

Bespoke package

If you really want to make an impression or you have an up-market business, you might want to look at our bespoke websites.

Using quality Designers and talented Programmers, we can provide a first class Internet shop window for your establishment. Using experienced Copywrighters and Photographers we can add extra polish and sparkle to the website.

After a free, no obligation chat, we put together an outline proposal for your new web presence. If you like what you see we then have further conversations that allow us to fully understand what you're trying to achieve. We can involve your marketing people in the process too. When the design and functionality are agreed we provide a detailed proposal that includes costing and timescales. From that point, until delivery, we keep you involved every step of the way - but only as much as you want to be. We do this using normal english - no 'technobabble'!

Aftercare

After delivering your new website, we don't just stop there. We can host (provide a home for) your site and supply ongoing website maintenance. We can also help with the all-important task of promoting it. Using a mixture of on-line directories, Search Engine marketing and other techniques, we can make sure that your website gets noticed and draws in extra business.

We can also provide a number of useful e-mail facilities like auto responses & redirections and we can register domain names (web addresses) for you.
