Listing Fees
At present each portal site allows 3 chargeable listing sections, these income streams area split into the following: Accommodation : Restaurants : Shops.
How do the listings work? Simple. Using the software that we provide, you start an opt-in* email marketing campaign targeted at the businesses listed above. You might start, for example, by emailing hotels and guest houses.
When a business receives one of your opt-in emails, the business owner/manager simply clicks on a link that takes him or her directly through a simple, step-by-step process to set up their customised advertisement. The customer can choose between various display types.
A Standard advertisement allows a good, basic advertisement to be set up. A Display advertisement allows for more descriptive text and photographs than the Standard, at higher cost. A Premium option allows even more information to be entered and this would attract an even higher fee. When complete, the customer pays by credit card and the advertisement is uploaded to the web site immediately and automatically. Examples of Standard, Display and Premium ads are shown on the right hand side of this page. Click on any one of them to enlarge.
You can set the fee rates and the renewal dates to any figure that you like. This means that you can enjoy repeat business from your customers every year as they renew their subscriptions. If you are operating a country where VAT or TAX applies, the web site automatically tracks this for you and produces the necessary reports. It also enables both you and your customers to offer transactions in any one of three currencies.
Managing your site
As the site owner, you are also the authorised Site Administrator with access to the facilities for customising the site. This allows you to amend the content of the Destination Guide, set the annual advertising prices and renewal dates for the three different categories of advertisement in each of the Accommodation, Shops, Restaurants and Events sections. You also have access to the 'Back Office' system that incorporates a database showing you all your customer details, payment status, renewal dates, etc.
To demonstrate just how easy it is to customise the site, have a look at how to edit the Destination Guides (below). Customising the other areas such a setting prices etc are just as easy.
Destination Guide
To customise the content of the Destination Guides you simply log in as site administrator and you are then free to edit the content of any page, add or delete pages as you wish.
Once logged in, not only can you change and add to what is already there but you can create new pages and sub pages: You can build your Destination Guide by adding new regions and towns and you can also add sub-pages for each of them!! i.e. You can add a sub folder to 'Orange County' and create sub menus within that page.
