| If
you think you might be interested in advertising on marsbrookholidayideas.com
or if you have additional questions that aren't covered here,
please do get in touch with us so we can answer any questions
you may have or clarify any information. We'd love to talk with
you! Rest assured, we're not the pushy types - we feel that
our site speaks for itself and that once you understand our
pricing and terms, which are documented here, you'll know whether
this is value for money and hence whether it's worth a go for
you.
I
have my own web site - why would I want to advertise on marsbrookholidayideas.com?
We see ourselves as a cost-effective advertising medium in
addition to your own site, or instead of a web presence. Ensuring
the success of the site is where we focus. Our focus is on ensuring we attain and maintain excellant search engine rankings.
If
I don't want to use all the allocation for images, do I get a reduction?
We believe that the number and quality of the photos is an
advert's most important asset as it provides the customer
with the best way of seeing what they will be getting. For
that reason we would encourage you to include as many photos
as possible. One means of encouragement is that you will not
receive a discount if you choose not to take advantage of
multiple photos!
How
many amends can I make to my advert in a year?
We anticipate that once an advert is approved there would
be few reasons to change it, but we're realistic enough to
appreciate that sometimes, changes are inevitable. We only
ask that your amendments are reasonable. The site is not designed
to detail availability on courses and as such aside from maximum
capacity, we do not list 'places available' or consequently
offer updates on this. As a fall back we state the maximum
number of amendments per year is 4 - we have never had to impose this
though.
I
don't like the style of the site
We always welcome comments on the site and indeed search them
out to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers. If
your comment or suggestion is something which would be of
benefit to the majority of customers then we would be happy
to look at changing it.
How
can I pay for my advert?
We accept the following forms of payment
Cheques in Euros drawn on a French Bank Account
The following cards - Visa and Mastercard online
Bank transfers. If these originate from outisde Europe additional fees will be incurred to cover bank charges.
How many enquiries will I receive?
Ahh.....how long is a piece of string! This is a very difficult question to answer as it's a reflection both of our ability to get people to come to the site, the copy of your advert, the 'product' you are offering and its position relative to competitors. The range is wide with between 15 and 60 enquiries a year and an average in the 20's.
What's
the sites history?
The site launched in April 2004 starting out with Cookery,
Art and Photography schools. Since then we've added new categories
- Cycling, Horse Riding, Walking
and 'Other'..... in essence the starting point for additional
catgeories.
How
do you drive traffic to the site?
We have a marketing strategy for increasing awareness and
hence traffic to the site. We've tried and moved on from print
advertising. Why? It's expensive, we're not convinced on the
return, and for us where we act as an intermediary it is impossible to track it's effectiveness....although we have
our suspicions!
I
already subscribe to a number of directory listings, and I'm
fully booked so I'm not interested
Congratulations! If you're fully booked why spend your hard
earned money with us or anyone else! Please, don't forget
us though, and when you feel the need to top up the level
of enquiries, or are looking to review your advertising spend,
do bear us in mind.
What
exactly do I get for my money?
Well.... for just €169 a year
- quite a lot we believe. See the How
to advertise section.
