grabAvilla aims to give your web site more exposure

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

Remember: The idea of having your web site is to get your villa more exposure. If people are not visiting your web site, then why have one? The reason you have a web site is because it is a proven way to get more bookings. 

grabAvilla does not get involved in the booking process. Someone booking your villa may have come from the grabAvilla web site. For example, your site might have been book-marked the first-time it was visited. The visit may have taken place because the customer clicked a picture link to your villa web site from the grabAvilla web site. Months later they may use the book-mark (or favourite) to find your site once again when they are ready to go on holiday. At the moment it is difficult to tell whether the booking came from us or elsewhere. At grabAvilla, we only know three things for certain:

   1) If you are not a member of grabAvilla, you will not be getting any hits from our site.
   2) We work hard to promote the grabAvilla name to get potential renters visiting your site. 
   3) We provide an honest service, aiming to give villa owner's like you more web sites exposure. This 
      allows people who do not know you own a villa to view it. Now they can book it by contacting you directly.

The grabAvilla web site is about honest exposure for your own villa web site. You do not always know why or how someone found your site. It therefore follows that you may not always know where the enquiry came from. Joining grabAvilla is about exposing your web site to potential bookers.

grabAvilla: Limits how many can join

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

In any one area only 10 properties will be linked.

We know most people do not scroll, or want to scroll a web page. This is why we have decided to only display one screen of properties in any one given area. Once that area is full (10 properties) no more will be added.

We use this policy to prevent the problem associated with most search engines - if your not in the top-ten it is hard to be noticed. By preventing over-subscribing, and by limiting the amount of villas in any one area we are making the grabAvilla web site fairer to everyone that has joined. 

If your area already has ten villas listed, still apply as your name will be added to a waiting list for that area.

grabAvilla is exclusively for you, the villa owner

grabAvilla: Limits who can join

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

grabAvilla does not entertain other villa agencies or holiday companies.

We only intend to property link to individuals that own one (or a few) properties. What chance do you have if the villa next to yours links to another villa agency? 

Each person that joins has to pay for each link to each villa. So, if someone owns more than one villa, they have to pay for each one in turn. As everyone who joins is contributing towards the cost of advertising - the more  that is contributed the more everyone benefits from the increased expenditure on advertising.

When joining grabAvilla we do not expect you to leave any other web site that you currently belong to. We at grabAvilla are a different service and are purely here to introduce people that normally would not know that you had a villa or a villa web site. 

grabAvilla is exclusively for you, the individual villa owner

grabAvilla: A different type of renter

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

We, at grabAvilla see our competition as the established "travel agent". We try to attract the new villa renter, the person who normally books a package holiday with such agents. 

Other web sites offer other services. They therefore attract cliental for different reasons. We cover some of what they do as we are currently being listed on various search engines. But, WE MAINLY INVEST IN STREET ADVERTISING. 

We believe that for most owners, no one site can fulfill your potential booking requirements.

When joining grabAvilla we do not expect you to leave any other web site that you currently belong to. In fact, we encourage all our members to join other web sites to increase their potential bookings. This is why those that have joined now enjoy a mix of enquiries from different types of renters.

grabAvilla: Advertises in many places 

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

We can do what the others do not want to do. We have access to advertising in London as we are taxi drivers. For others to do what we do is simply not cost effective. But for us, it is! 

By using a name that is quick, short and unforgettable we are able to advertise on the streets. We want people to remember the name - through advertising our name, people will easily be able to find the grabAvilla web site . Think about it - you know other services, and once you know their name do you really look elsewhere - why should you? A quick search will always give details about the business you are looking for - no need to remember web addresses, just a name.

This is why grabAvilla does not simply rely on the Internet to promote its business. Not only do we advertise on London’s licensed black taxis, but we also use the income to advertise on local radio, in newspapers, in supermarkets, on transport and in other forms of promotion. We attempt to get the traffic you originally planned for, and then pass it on to you.

grabAvilla: Booking Forum Explained

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

If your villa is in easy reach of Disney World, Orlando, Florida - linking will also include membership to the grabAvilla overflow booking forum. This is a great source of enquiries as members can post any enquiry they cannot cover. When an enquiry is posted here, it goes out to all the other members in the Orlando area.

We also get enquiries from various pages on the web site. If it is an Orlando enquiry, we post it on the forum. If the enquiry is for any other area, we send out emails to the villa owners in that area. We always try to deal with enquiries as saying "no" to a customer only ensures that they will not come back to grabAvilla. 

This is why the forum is so good, you no longer have to say no to your prospective customers either. You can now say "I am fully booked but I will see what I can do". All you then have to do is post the enquiry on the grabAvilla booking forum, and let our other members help you out. This has an added benefit: Next time that customer is looking to rent a property they are likely to come back to you as you helped them out last time. 

The forum's main role is to ensure that enquiries are being circulated - giving you more opportunities to get your villa booked. If other areas get enough villa owners joining, we will have booking forums for them too.

Also, a members message forum (for all areas) & special web site pages are available to everyone that joins grabAvilla.

grabAvilla: Where we have advertised so far...
The more owners that join, the bigger the advertising gets!

Back to Owners Area

Back to Last Page

This area details some examples of the promotions and services grabAvilla Ltd has undertaken. We spend all income on promoting both the name "grabAvilla"  and the web site "grabAvilla.com".
 
We understand that there are other web sites on the search engines offering to get your villa booked - you may be a member of some of them. grabAvilla is not asking you to leave any of them - but, you should still think about joining us. We provide a different service - one that gets people looking at your villa, especially the type of person who is new to booking a villa holiday. We compete with the high street travel agent & the package tour operators, so you do not have to be on the Internet to see our name.

We are proud of our achievements - In our first year alone we managed to put outside adverts on 5 London Licensed Taxis. Also, 10 Taxis now have adverts on the inside (on the sit-up seats). 

grabAvilla has now been trading since 2001, and we now have advertised in many ways: Sainsbury's, Radio Ad, Flyers, Banners, Stickers, Taxi Receipt Pads, Merchandise, etc. We have been seen on T.V. - Sky News, BBC & ITV. Our name has been mentioned many times on prime time Radio Talk Shows. Various adverts have been put in the press: e.g. Daily  Mail, Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, etc. Editorials and articles about grabAvilla have also been published. We continue to find new ways to advertise grabAvilla.
