Owners: Free SMS Messages for Enquiries - Never miss a booking!

Jun 9, 2016

As owners, you appreciate that responding quickly to enquiries is critical if you want to make a successful booking. That's why we're offering FREE SMS text message alerts delivered straight to your mobile when you receive an enquiry. This has multiple benefits:

  • No need to keep checking emails
  • Enquirer's phone number sent direct to you so you can call them back instantly
  • Agree a booking within minutes of an enquiry
  • No need to logon to speak to the guest

We've decided to offer this service free of charge (up to 50 messages) for the time being as a thank-you to all of our owners who have trusted us with helping you to market your property.

To get the free SMS service all you need to do is:

  • Click Member Login at the top of the page
  • Click My Account -> Change Profile
  • Click SMS Packages
  • Select 50 Free SMS package

You also need to make sure you have added your mobile phone number in the control panel in the correct format. To do this:

  • Click My Account -> Change profile
  • Look for SMS phone and make sure your number is entered in the format +44xxxxxxxxxx 
  • Click Save

Make sure there are no spaces or punctuation in your number (e.g. no -, () etc) and that you omit the leading 0 from your mobile number.

It's probably best to then do a test - just visit your listing and submit an enquiry - it's free after all!

We hope you enjoy this new free service. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any queries.

Wishing you all a great season!
