Do include a link to your advert on our sites in your reply. Without this enquirers have been told to ignore your reply as they will not know you are a genuine owner with a villa on one of our sites. |
2. |
Only reply if you HAVE got availability (don't even bother emailing to say you haven't). |
3. |
For Villa Specific enquiries ONLY, feel free to offer dates with 1 week either side of the requested dates if you do not have their exact requested dates (unless enquirer specifies more flexibility or specifies exact dates only). |
4. |
If the enquirer is very specific on a feature (in their comments) and you do not have whatever it is, then don't reply. |
5. |
Summarise that you have availability and the price at the very top of your reply. |
6. |
Try to keep the number of photographs your attach to your reply email to an absolute minimum. If you feel you have to, don't attach more than 100k of photographs. Any more and it is quite likely the enquirer will just delete your reply without reading it. |
7. |
Providing your own website confirms to the rest of our rules (i.e. no links to other villas, car hire, park tickets etc etc), do include a link to your own website (saves having to attach photos). |
8. |
Keep it brief but informative. |
9. |
Be as prompt as possible in responding. |
10. |
Don't forget, the membership rules of our sites still apply here too - in particular, no linking to sites that offer other villas, flights, car hire or attraction tickets (other than OV owned sites, of course) in your initial reply to any of our referrals. |
