Renewals Made Easier - With Greater Discounts!

First things first: We haven't put our prices up!

Better still, we are giving a choice of 3 ways to pay when you next renew your annual subscription. Two of them will save you even more money.

Select the 'Subscribe and Save' button and choose your preferred options:

1: Pay £12 every quarter

2: Pay £22.80 every six months (5% discount)

3: Pay £43.20 annually (10% discount)

NB: All figures are net of VAT.

Once you've set up your payment, all subsequent events will be automated. You won't be deluged with renewal reminder emails from us and must spend time wading through PayPal each time a payment is due. We'll send a single email to let you know we are about to take the money via PayPal, and only if you decide to cancel will you need to do anything.

Alternatively, you can renew for 24 or 36 months and get a 5% or 10% discount. In addition to the discount, you'll enjoy further savings if the annual subscription rate increases thereafter, as you won't have to pay it!

We've improved the discounts you'll enjoy if you own more than one property. Select the number of properties you wish to advertise, and you'll see how much they'll cost and how much you'll save.

Page Loading Speed Improvements

One of the great strengths of My Favourite Holiday Cottages' website is the emphasis we place on using plenty of high-quality images. As a subscriber, you can list up to 18 photos besides your main one.

The drawback until now has been that, with so many images, pages take time to download. This is why so many sites put much smaller limits on the number of prints allowed. Slow download speeds tend to be down-rated by Google and limit the number of pages that site viewers will visit.

So, we've just completed some rather nifty work on the website, radically improving the speed at which pages load. The results have been heart-warming. The average number of pages viewed by site visitors has already increased by about 20%.

Photos - Call For Images

We do a lot of press and media work promoting My Favourite Holiday Cottages to attract more potential bookers to the site. Where possible, we like to use appealing images of cottages and their locations, incorporating a link to a property's listing.

If you have some fantastic property images that nicely portray your cottage (or a location) in a particular season, send one to us, and we'll see if we can use it (with a link to your advert).

Over To You!

Do visit the blog articles and add an appropriate comment. It's great to get feedback. And you'll also get a link back to your site.
