The latest business from the hotel, bar and leisure industry to benefit from our extensive web design and marketing experience is Ardlui Retreat; a premium self catering holiday park located on the North-westerly shores of Loch Lomond.
It’s a quality location for a holiday and we really wanted to transmit that sense of that quality through the website design and I think we’ve done that pretty successfully.
We’ve also integrated the Supercontrol booking system into the site to enable the owners to take online bookings directly. With third party organisations such as Hoseasons and Visit Scotland taking upwards of a 20% share of any booking, it really makes sense to try to capture bookings independently and the Supercontrol system offered the flexibility and speed of implementation that the client really needed.
Ardlui Retreat has already seen a 150% year-on-year increase in website visitors since our involvement and this has also translated into a similar rise in occupancy rates.
Over the coming months we’ll be working hard at further increases to traffic via SEO and more traditional forms of marketing.
