ADVERTISE YOUR HOLIDAY HOME FOR FREE


If you're a holiday home owner, you've probably waved goodbye to your last guests, finished cleaning after them, closed down the pool and then put your feet up for a few days' well deserved rest after the summer season.


 And while you're sipping on that glass of something relaxing, you may find yourself thinking about next summer and planning your advertising campaign.

 



With over 11 million British people holidaying here last year, France remains the second most popular holiday destination in Europe, which is good news for everybody involved in the holiday and tourist industry. And booking direct with the owner is fast become a favourite way to find holiday accommodation, and one which benefits both parties.

 

By cutting out agency fees, holiday makers and owners keep more of their hard earned cash in these post-credit-crunch times, and both know who they're dealing with. Guests feel they receive a more personal service from someone who is thoroughly acquainted with the holiday home, the best way to get there, the area, etc, and owners can get a better idea of the people who are coming to stay, arrival times, special needs etc.

 

You may well already use (and pay for) one of the big online advertisers for owner direct holidays, and perhaps you have your own website. But did you know that you can advertise your holiday property online for free? Be it a house, villa, gîte, mobile home or chambre d'hôte.



If you're a private individual, and, for a limited period, even if you're a holiday letting business, you can place a free ad on BritsBazaar.com, the classified ad site for Brits in France and English speaking Francophiles everywhere. You can display up to ten photos to give prospective guests a good impression of the accommodation and you can add a link to your own website to give them all the information they need.

 
Don't forget, your holiday home doesn't have to be in France, even people who live there go away on holiday.


Why not give it a go?
It won't cost you anything!
