Re: Tripadvisor Update your status - business or consumer
As clear as Mud! No idea what it is about, the way I see it is: If you don't change anything then your status remains unchanged and you will be regarded as a business owner. Which is better than changing to a consumer as potential clients will be informed that they will not get certain protection wh...

Thanks Greenbarn Also from the same source: (Same page) You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent. There is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the ‘soft opt-in’. You can send marketing emails or texts to companies. However, it ...

I will agree that there are articles that argue both sides. The same arguments are there for cold calling by telephone* or the use of an IP** address to allow Google and Amazon et al to provide those awesome popups on your screen of items that you have recently been looking to buy. What we can learn...

email old contact email addies with adverts. Remind us how that fits in with GDPR? Good question. This mailing will only use email addresses, no other personal data so it will be perfectly legal and comply with GDPR if done correctly......and it will be. Here is an article, just one of many availab...

Plan B!
I was hoping that people were hanging on to see the Brexit outcome and then book. Obviously not, they must have chosen to book local or not go anywhere. Like others I have had zero success with the OTA's this year, even with 18 listings, 2 websites, a blog, 50 or so classified listings and over 5000...

https://youtu.be/-IL2XwSkFJQ :D Very funny, I'll have to wash my ears out with soap now, but there is certainly some truth in what he says! I couldn't vote in the referendum because I have been out of UK far too long, I left during the miners + dustbin persons (PC) and a dozen other strikes back in...

Brexit, Vote to Revoke Article 50
This applies to British Citizens anywhere. Whether you are a remainer or leaver a "No Deal" or "May's Deal" are both the worst possible outcomes for both sides. It has become an absolute farce. Theresa May declares that it would be undemocratic to revoke Article 50 and so pushes ...

Most of our bookings are from the UK so I'm sure Brexit uncertainty is a big factor. Its interesting that you feel Brexit is an issue for UK residents holidaying in the UK. Its not as though currency fluctuation or visa's come into play. Or is your rental property outside the UK ? I think both UK a...

for any reason other than for my reviews. I've therefore made my pricing so unattractive that any one who books via TA/HL really does have more money than sense! I feel the same. I have 28 five star reviews that has taken 8 years to earn also a Certificate of Excellence for 2018, I plug these facts...
