Advertising Tips

Our experience of the Internet enables us to offer a few guidelines when writing text & submitting photographs to be published on the Brittany Guide.

Photographs

When someone looks at the details for you gite, the first thing they see is the photograph. It is very important therefore to use a good quality clear pictures, preferably taken on a bright sunny day. Try not to include people in the photograph & use the landscape format. We can use pictures from brochures or photocopies, but theses are not as good as original prints.

Text

All advertisements are in a standard format, starting with a description of the property. Here you can give the location of the property, number of bedrooms & facilities etc. be concise & informative & try to keep the number of words to around 250. Next is a description of the area around you property, give details of any local attractions, events & places of interest that may be useful to your potential visitors.
The additional information section gives details of any restrictions, extra charges (for gas electricity etc.) that you may wish to include. Finally the tariffs, the price you charge per week on specific dates. The prices can be in any currency (a universal currency converter is available on the Brittany Guide) however French Francs are preferable.

Pricing

Be realistic when deciding the price to charge for your property, if possible try to compare your property with similar properties advertised on the Brittany Guide. This will ensure your property has an equal chance of getting early bookings.

Your Web Page
Every advertisement on the Brittany Guide has its own unique Internet address. If you advertise your property in any other media, you can use this address to direct prospective customers to your web page.
