Our Unique Promotion of Special Offers

We have developed a unique approach to searching for and presenting special offers on alpineskiholidays.com.

When a user searches for special offers, they typically have a preference for a particular ski resort and perhaps a date. When searching for special offers on alpineskiholidays.com, a user will be required to choose a specific ski resort and optionally choose a travel date.

To explain how your special offers will be promoted, please consider the following scenario:

Scenario 1 :

You are currently advertising the following properties and special offers:

Property 1: A catered chalet in Les Gets, France

Offer 1: 'Christmas Week', Dec 23rd - Dec 30th 2006, 10% reduction when booking in May.

Offer 2: 'Special Promotion', Open ended dates, 20% reduction for exclusive bookings.

Property 2: A Self catered apartment in Chamonix, France

Offer 1: 'New Year Special', Dec 30th - Jan 07th 2007

A user arrives at the site and performs a search for special offers. He enters 'Chamonix' as his preferred resort and intends to travel after Dec 20th, 2006.

Among the special offers returned, the apartment in Chamonix will be presented as it is in the users' preferred resort at a date soon after his intended travel date. Also, exclusively to alpineskiholidays.com, your special offers for the property in Les Gets will also be presented. The reason being that they are in a resort 'nearby to' his preferred resort and therefore will likely be of interest. The advantages are obvious:

The user is presented with a targeted list of special offers that are likely to be of interest, rather than a huge list of special offers in countries he has no intention of travelling to.
He has the choice of open ended special offers and date specific special offers to choose from.
Your special offers will be highly targeted dependant on location (and optionally a date).
Your special offers do not have to be in the exact resort of his preferred resort to be presented, the search tool is intelligent enough to present your offer if it is considered 'nearby'.
