Rental Lloret de Mar

In order to find a dream holiday villa in Spain still available in the high season at this moment is getting more and more difficult. And the last minute booking wave is only about to begin.

The traditional larger rental companies visit the Spanish coasts once a year, usually in September, to find new villas. ‘Why do they visit in September already’, you might ask. Good question. The traditional rental companies still print brochures and need all the information and pictures to be processed by the setter and printer…..to be at hte travel agents before New Year. This might sound very 80s to you, but the larger companies stick to it. Don’t fix what is not broken….

The last 10 years, travel has changed. Travel is the no1 online trade and the travel agents (and their printed brochures) are becoming obsolete. The travellers now demand online availability and online booking (and even paying) options. One of the other advantages of a webbased shop is that you can always add new villas

Club Villamar rents out luxury villas with private pool on the Costa Brava and Costa Blanca coastal areas in Spain. Club Villamar works together with the Franchise organisation Homeservice Villamar SL, a Spanish based company, which professionally handles all guest contact upon arrival until departure. Homeservice Villamar also finds new high quality villas with private pool to rent out for Club Villamar, year round: an advantage for you to enjoy!

This makes Club Villamar one of the few rental companies with still good availability on their villas.

Experience your holiday Club Villamar style.

The Costa Brava is of course well known for the town of Lloret de Mar because of it´s vivid nightlife and sandy beaches. Here thousants and thousants of youngsters meet up every year to enjoy the good life. Renting a villa in Lloret de Mar is the preferred choice of accommodation for these partying guests.

Many of the Club Villamar villas are situated near Lloret de Mar and there are, even now, still several villas available in high season. Lloret de Mar will be very crowded in the last weeks of July and the first weeks of August. Still you can get away from it all and enjoy peace and tranquility poolside. Isn´t that what we all want?

Costa Brava Villas: One cheap holiday

5:47 pm in Vacation Rentals by pgesystems

Not many people get to live like they are on a holiday in Spain: Time to relax poolside, enjoying the sun, lounging on the beach drinking a cool sangria, spending quality time with the family and enjoying amazing barbeques and fiestas with friends. The hard earned holiday is sacred.

A holiday trip to laidback Spain is ideal for clearing your head and charging the battery for the stressful year to come. Although for the sake of your sanity and health a mandatory yearly 2 week holiday in Spain would be perfect…….., the costs for this 2-week paradise seem really high (especially being confronted with financial distress on the news every single day).

But here is the good news: Renting a villa in Spain is not expensive at all, considering these advantages:

1a The price outside high season. The costs for renting a villa in high season are highest, so try to book your holiday outside the high season. You can rent a villa in June and September for just a couple of hundred euros/dolars (which ties into 1b). Cheaper flights are available outside High Season.

1b The price per person per night. Renting a larger villa with more than 1 family will lead to prices per person per night under camping prices!

2 Privacy. Now that we have seen that the price is not worth staying home for: what do we get? The luxury of your own villa with privacy, a private pool for the kids to play in, sea views, easy walking distance to the beach, lovely garden. It is so that to enjoy yourself in Spain.

3. The best food. Now you have the option to go out to a restaurant or stay home and prepare a nice dinner, obviously saving you money. ….And the cheapest beer in Spain is the one in your hand poolside!

Do not forget to check out these Catalan Holidays , which might affect your stay in Spain. Many shops are closed on Catalan Holidays.

Pay Per Click Advertising Great For Travel Industry

7:14 pm in PPC Advertising by pgesystems

With the global recession showing no apparent signs of slowing down soon travel agents are being forced to make their advertising work harder. Traditional high street travel agents are dissapearing as the publics holiday budgets are slashed and as increasingly Google et al increasingly is where holiday makers are researching and buying their holidays and flights. Given this the more savvy travel agents are paying more attention to their website and their online marketing efforts in an attempt to win new business.

Pay per click is fantastic for holiday and accommodation providers as the search engines are by far and away where most holiday/hotel bookings originate from.

Also as often the keywords are very niche.g. ‘holiday villa rental in nerja’ the conversion (lead/enquiry) rate can be very high and therefore cost per conversion low. Typical holiday provider advertisers can expect to see 3-10% conversion rates. Pay per click enables advertisers to target specific locations and types of holidays based on their changing requirements. For example i October advertisers could spend 50% of budget on targeting, for example, Costa Brava villa holidays and 50% on Javea villa holidays and in June 30% Southern Spain 30% diving 40% Northern Spain. Similarly pay per click advertisers could promote last minute deals if they hadsurplus inventory or packages they may be looking to sell quickly. Another benefit is that a ppc campaign can be turned off, on or up and down to reflect seasonality and demand.

Other key pay per click benefits to the holiday/travel industry include:

- Can target any place in the world

- Huge exposure on the most used search engines

- Detailed reporting tools such as Google Analytics help with measuring performance

- Helps build database for other marketing efforts (mailshots etc)

The most important Google pay per click advertising consideration to work on is the most influential variable affecting conversion (enquiry/sale) i.e. the website. Figures indicate the bookings online are much less in volume than sales via web based enquiries. Therefore the site needs to be geared to make it very easy and likely for those enquiries to happen. Also if a strong call to action can be made applicable e.g. “fill in your details for free Spain holiday guide” (this can be an automated PDF or similar to keep costs down) it is a great way of capturing more potential buyers.
