Great pictures of your property are really important when it comes to attracting enquiries from prospective guests. During the summer of 2017 we asked our site users what they found most important when it comes to sending an enquiry about a property and photos were number one, closely followed by pricing and availability.

Don’t let your images be a barrier to attracting bookings, ensure you have set your rooms up as you would want your guests to find them when they walk into your lovely property. Plump the cushions, straighten the bed covers, make sure the mirrors are shiny and there are no bits and bobs lying around (except for the odd cake or vin chaud!). Future guests want to picture themselves in your property as if no one has ever stayed there before, they want to think about sitting on your cosy sofa in front of a roaring log fire, or climbing into the crisp clean sheets of a comfy bed. Your images are there to set the scene, so set it well!!

It’s really easy to add images to your advertisement, just follow these steps:

• Firstly, log into your admin portal
• Check the box to the left of the property you wish to add the images to and click ‘Edit’

• Look at the menu to the left of the screen and click on ‘Images and Video’

• Click on ‘Add a Folder’ at the top of the page

• Name the folder and click on the ‘tick’ to the right of the folder

• Click on ‘Upload Files’ at the top of the page and a menu will appear. Click on ‘Picture’ to add images. You can also add in a video here by using a vimeo or you tube link!

• A box will appear, you can click ‘Add files’ and pick the images from your computer you wish to upload. These images go into the folder and you can upload as many here as you like. Ensure you have picked the correct folder to upload to, in this case Chalet New.

• Once the images have loaded, double check you are putting them into the correct folder and click ‘Complete Upload’

• Close down the box. You will now see the images appearing on the left. You can click on the folder name to hide or expand the images contained in the folder.
• To add the images to the advert you simply need to drag the images you want over into the boxes on the right hand side. The first image will be the image on the search result thumbnails and also on the front of your advert so you need to make sure this is a great representation of your property.
• You do not need to press Save on this page as once the images have been dragged across they are saved to the advert.

It’s a great idea to have seasonal shots of your property if you wish to fill it year round. In the winter guests like to see the snow and in the summer, they love to see a sunny day with beautiful scenery. Make the images work for you!
