Holiday-Rentals.co.uk adds display advertising
Holiday-Rentals.co.uk has launched display advertising on its site, providing a great channel for companies with complementary services to reach a huge audience of independent travellers.
As holiday home rentals continue to grow in popularity thanks to the privacy, flexibility, authenticity and value for money they provide, Holiday-Rentals.co.uk has received a record number of visits and booking enquiries in 2008.
Greg Grant, Managing Director, said: "Holiday-Rentals.co.uk, along with our parent company HomeAway, is committed to making it as easy and secure to book a holiday home rental as a hotel, and to offering the most efficient marketing channel to holiday home owners.
"With our huge selection, advanced search tools, the introduction of the HomeAway Rent with Confidence Guarantee and guest reviews, we have set new industry standards in terms of quality of service and traveller confidence".
In September 2007, Holiday-Rentals.co.uk launched the HomeAway Rent with Confidence Guarantee, to offer travellers protection against payments made to advertisers on its website, free of charge.
The guarantee provides tangible assurance that they are covered for up to GBP2,500 in rental fees per holiday home booked in the unlikely event the listing is not legitimate.
Then in December 2007, guest reviews went live on the website and hundreds are being added every week.
Reviews are posted as-written by travellers with the option for owners to respond, providing potential guests with independent opinions and increased peace of mind when booking direct.
