Q. What period of time does the FREE offer cover? |
|
Many thanks for your offer - yes I'm interested however a question: What period of time does the FREE offer cover? (ie for one year etc)? Once the free offer expires, how much will the annual advertising cost be? I ask because there have been problems with free offers before in that once expired there appears to be an obligation to purchase (sometimes for an unrealistic costing!) I do not wish to be placed in that position.
No gimmicks, no cons. The free listing is indefinite; essentially forever - but obviously reserving the option to make some changes to the policy in the future, who knows what time may bring. There are certainly no plans to stop having free listings. The idea is to have literally thousands of B&B's listed, and to hope that a small percentage will find the paid-for optional extras attractive. If we had 500 listed all paying for it the chances are visitors to the site will not find accommodation where they want to stay. If we have 10,000 listed they have a better chance of finding something suitable and the site should be more successful. And we then hope that maybe 2% (currently 5%) will find the £25 or £50 per year an attractive extra. The bnb-directory.com has been going since July 2005; averaged 1,600 visitors per day through March 2007.
