British Destinations

Update your public facing webpage entry

Posted on January 13, 2016

We maintain a public facing promotional website www.britishdestinations.co.uk  in addition to the corporate internal information website.  This public site gives free promotion for your destination(s) via the website itself and additionally free promotion via our  public facing Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/UKHolidays which is automatically populated from your webpage entry.

The website entries are purposely designed to be sort factual pieces that encourage customers to seek further information from you via your website and/or via brochure requests (optional) and thus it needs little routine maintenance.  The maintenance is done remotely by you.  If you not recently visited you page and updated it for 2016 then now is the time to do so at:

http://www.britishdestinations.co.uk/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fmembers%2fDefault.aspx

Each destination has its own user name and login (not the same one as the corporate site). If you forgotten it email me: peter.hampson@btconnect.com

Three things you need to do:

• Check your page titles and text for accuracy and make any amendments.  The page is character limited so the scope for expansions is equally limited.  The save button is at the end of the page and there is no prompt function, so don’t inadvertently leave the page without saving.
• You have the option to add events on a separate data base, if you have activated this facility check them for accuracy and update or add new ones for 2016.
• You have the option to allow the public to order brochures.  The email address that the requests are sent to is found in the administrative section.  If activated already please check the current fulfilment email address that you are using.  If you wish to switch on or switch off the facility simply add or remove an email address.

Although not now state of the art the website does generate a steady flow of brochure requests and referrals to destination websites, particularly in through the first half of the calendar year.   Please help us to help you by making sure your entry is accurate.
