Featured Property Promotion:
A full-page property advertisement with photos, symbols and map, with free copywriting provided, as well as on-going social media outreach and piggy-backing on our parent-focussed marketing.
Benefits
- On-line ads are changeable and can be updated during the life of your advertisement
- Improved Google SEO for your own website by having links from a reputable website
- Our direct links to you saves commission paid to third party party booking websites
- Opportunity to provide stories for our blog (eg, what to do in the local area). Here is an example.
Rate: $250 for 12 months (+ 2 months free for all first-time sign ups)
Standard Promotion:
Drive more direct bookings and help families at the same time! Our commission rate is only 5%. However, you also need to offer something special for families.
This might be an extra 5% discount, a voucher for a local family friendly eatery or tourist attraction, or offering for free something you might usually charge for (eg, WIFI, cots, etc). The choice is yours.
We do not handle bookings or take money on your behalf, so a booking/promo code will be required to keep track of bookings for the family incentive and commission purposes.
As another bonus for you, once you reach $250 worth of commission, we will upgrade you to Featured Property status for the following 12 months.
Rate: 5% commission plus booking incentive (of your choice) for families.
Affiliate Promotion:
If your property is listed on booking.com or homeaway.com websites, we can promote your property on the relevant tourist region page, with a link to your property on either the booking.com, hotelscombined.com or homeaway.com websites. This way, we will receive a small commission if a booking is made by a guest after they link through from our website.
Rate: No additional costs for you apart from commissions you pay to these booking websites. Note: We offer no promotional opportunities for this type of listing.
How can you not afford to be part of it?
You will find 'family friendly accommodation' or 'child friendly accommodation' near the top of Google rankings, which increases your chances of being found by families looking for somewhere to stay.
Being part of Family Friendly Accommodation, particularly as a Feature Property, will also help build your credentials amongst the important family travel market.
As a Feature Property, Family Friendly Accommodation becomes part of your marketing team. Our whole focus is on the family holiday market. And as a Feature Property, you will stand out from the crowd.
