Do your research. Our average rates have been formulated from properties 

on web sites giving you a realistic idea of what is already out there, but get online,

 search for properties like yours and get to know the market.

Think ahead. If you can foresee weeks when demand will be lower,then think

 about lowering your rates or offering special discounts to attract out of season

 holidaymakers. 

You can log on to our platform and change your rates in a few clicks, 

so you are always in control

Keep an eye on the competition. Be sure to regularly check on what other 

owners in your area are charging and make sure that your rates continue to

 be competitive. Markets do change from year to year, 

so don’t be surprised if you need to adjust your pricing.

Create a great advertisement for you Holiday Home

Customers see your advert, do you ever think about how they see it.

Use the best photos possible. Stage your property, let the sunlight in and show

 off the best of your property , even consider having the pictures taken professionally, 

the money you spend you will get back on one booking alone

Treat your advert like a mini brochure - what is it that gives your property the 

wow factor? Sea Views, stylish interiors and log fires all deserve a mention

Double check the spelling and grammar in your advert. 

Get someone else to read over it for sense as well

            Update your advert to show any changes to the property and its facilities as

 well as new bookings.  If new airline routes or local attractions 

open up then add these to your advert as well

Replying to E mails, Dealing with Customers, 

and getting those Bookings 

Be easy to reach - check your emails regularly, answer your phone 

whenever possible If you're going away ask someone to deal with your 

enquiries for you. Check your junk mail regularly

 in case any enquiries have ended up there by mistake

Respond to enquiries as soon as possible - holidaymakers may enquire about several

 properties at once, so don't miss out. Think about using a couple of

 phone numbers on your advert,including a mobile so people can

 get hold of you when you're not at home or work

If you advertise with Ireland-Selfcatering.com , then register for our free SMS alert that lets you

 know whenever you have an enquiry, or someone has made a reservation for your property

Be flexible with requests - don't rule out enquiries straight away.

 Some holidaymakers may want reassurance that you're a genuine property owner,

 With our platform people can check guest reviews and book with confidence
