Start With Your Ideal Guest in Mind<\/span><\/h2>\n

Good marketing isn\u2019t about reaching everyone \u2014 it\u2019s about reaching the right people.
Ask yourself: who is your holiday home perfect for? Families? Dog owners? Couples looking for a romantic escape?<\/p>\n

Everything you post should help those people imagine themselves staying with you.<\/p>\n

Use location-specific keywords like \u201cAnglesey family cottage\u201d<\/strong>, \u201cdog-friendly holiday let in North Wales\u201d<\/strong>, or \u201cSnowdonia weekend break\u201d<\/strong> in your captions and bio to help the right guests find you.<\/p>\n

Now Let’s Choose a Username:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your Instagram username and Facebook Page name are your online shop windows. Use your cottage name plus location to keep it simple and clear, so potential guests can find you easily.<\/p>\n

For example:
On Instagram @dolwaenyddanglesey<\/a>
Or on Facebook, \u201cDolwaenydd, Anglesey\u201d<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 TOP TIP: Avoid quirky nicknames, personal names, or lots of symbols. These can look like spam accounts, and can confuse visitors – making it harder for your cottage to appear in search results.<\/strong><\/div>\n
