New ISCF Consumer Website and Booking Engine
The ISCF New website and booking engine will be launched pre-season 2010. The website name will be www.letsgoselfcatering.com and www.letsgoselfcatering.ie . This will be followed by the tag line 'Irelands holiday home advisor'. A new logo has also been designed.
Significant investment will be made in marketing the website to ensure search engine optimisation. The booking engine itself, will be tailored for self catering business.
Members will be able to opt into the booking engine, and it is intended that a member can have online booking embedded within their own site.
Consumers will be able to book and pay online by credit or debit card and laser card. There will be a commission charged for this service, the details are yet to be finalised, however, as ISCF is a not-for-profit organisation we hope to offer a (very competitive rate) / rate below the other marketing companies.
Further details will be sent to members nearer the launch date.
