When is the best time to start advertising?
The sooner you start advertising the better, as this will enable you to increase your exposure to the holiday market. Many people look to book their holidays when they have just returned from their last break (this can be up to 12 months before their next holiday) so don’t miss out!

What upgrades are available?
International Holiday Lettings has a number of upgrades that can be purchased. The upgrades that we have available include:-
Featured Property: Want your property to stand out from the crowd? Are you sure as long as people can just see your property advert quick enough your bookings would increase? If so then promoting your property through our Featured section is a must for you.
All pages on the site will have 5 properties on the left hand side that, for a specific country will have properties displayed there and these properties will rotate on a random basis each time a new page is opened or refreshed. They will also feature on the more general pages like the Home Page for example. Again the properties will be randomly rotated each time the page is refreshed or changed. Having a Featured
Property really makes your property stand out and get that all important extra coverage to help increase your rentals.
Early Saver promotion: Are you someone that likes to have your void periods filled up as early as possible. Perhaps you always have the same times of year that need extra attention and effort to get the property filled. If so then advertising your property here is certainly for you. Many holiday makers, upon return from their most recent holiday, like to book in advance for their next break away. If you would like to advertise your property to this audience and organize your rentals at least 6 months in advance giving you piece of mind, then your property must be seen in this section of the site.
Late Offers promotion: Unexpected last minute void to fill? At a time in the year where it is always difficult to find guests? If this is the case then advertising your property in the Late Offers section will definitely increase exposure to your advertised properties. With more Holiday Makers then ever opting for a “last minute bargain” advertising here could be the push required to fill those looming void periods. If you want to increase your exposure for guests looking to travel within the next 2 months then this is the place for your property to be seen.
Image Pack: A picture paints a thousand words, and this has never been truer than when it comes to property. Holiday makers want to see as many images of the property they will be visiting as possible. Images of the local attractions may help you to give your property the cutting edge over the competition.
With International Holiday Lettings you can have up to 20 images per property and we recommend you try and make the most of this with some stunning images that will capture the minds of your potential guests.
The image pack allows Advertisers with a Value Package to add up to 8 further images for a low one off yearly fee of just £10.00. So if you are advertising with the Value Package and you want to show off your property, and all it’s location has to offer, then the Image Pack is for you.
