Setting your availability dates is vital to ensure that you get the maximum exposure. Read on to find out how to set up your availability dates online and get more exposure. 

Updating your Availability

Setting your availability dates is VITAL to ensure that you get the maximum exposure
 

Our new PROPERTY AVAILABILITY CALENDAR was introduced due to strong demand from holiday-makers and property owners to include this function in the new website but it is essential that you take responsibility for updating the information or your property will not be selected in relevant searches.
 

We have checked our enquiry statistics and clients who have recorded their availability receive far more enquiries than those who do not.
 

Your property will only appear in date based search results entered by holiday-makers, where your AVAILABLE dates correspond to their requested dates.
 

To update your availability calender please follow this step by step guide now to ensure that your property is always selected in the relevant searches.
 

Go to www.frenchconnections.co.uk

 

1. Click the tab at the top marked For Property Owners

2. Enter your login name and password in the registered owner section

3. Click submit and you will enter the owners area (figure 1).

Your update is now complete. You will be able to view your chart immediately by viewing your web page but please note the wording in red above figure 4. The changes will take an hour or so to reflect in any date based searches as these are updated periodically not immediately.

Please remember to update your dates regularly.
