Hi, I'm Mia and I have been looking after holiday homes in Brixham since 2019. Brixham has a vibrant tourist economy and holds a special place in the hearts of people from all over the world. My mission at Brixham Direct is to drive more direct bookings straight to the holiday home owner, cutting out expensive service charges and offering both hosts and guests the chance to save money by booking direct.
Over the last year across the 4 properties that I manage in Brixham, I have paid over £10,000 in commissions to online travel agents such as Airbnb and Booking.com. Across the hundreds of holiday homes in Brixham this amount could total into the £millions. I believe by driving more direct bookings much of this money could be going to our local economy.
I'm offering the opportunity to list your property on the Brixham Direct website to attract more direct bookings. Your listing will include a link for the guest to contact you directly by email to book a stay. Brixham Direct does not charge commission and does not take bookings on your behalf. You are in control of your bookings, your calendar and your payments.
We all get lots of business via the big names in the online travel agency world. While these platforms will still play a big part in attracting guests to our town, my aim is to make sure each guest goes home knowing they can book direct next time. Every owner who signs up to Brixham Direct will receive business cards/flyers to display in their property for guests to take away with them. We also hope to partner with local businesses offering specials and discounts and displaying our media.
Many holiday homes already take direct bookings but if it is something new to your holiday home business we can offer support and advice to get you started, from supplying terms and conditions for your bookings to helping you devise your payment policies that work for you. We will have a regular newsletter sent to all our property owners to include industry updates, Brixham events, special offers, trusted suppliers and community news. We will also have a mailing list for a guest newsletter where you can offer last minute deals and availability and even appear in a 'Know our Owners' section (if you want to!).
We are offering a 12 month listing on Brixham Direct at a cost of £75.00. Half the price of an ERBID listing and twice the value! Join us today and be part of our vibrant holiday home owners community.
