Hi, my name is Polly Tyrrell. I run Gites Columne des Bois in the French Pyrenees. We have been open for about a year now and we met Mark Simpson on Facebook. He contacted us through a Gite group to offer help with direct bookings. We ran a Facebook competition with him initially and we were really happy with the results that we then went on to join his Boostly Academy. It came just at the right time because we didn't know quite which direction to go in with our Gite. I have no marketing experience whatsoever and the Boostly Academy allows for that. I started at the beginning with it. There's some excellent videos to learn how to set everything up correctly so that it works for you on the OTAs and not the other way around. It helps you set up your website, all the critical things that are important, a booking agent, the images so that it's user friendly for your clients. We've already seen that working for us better with our booking agent, which is great. And afterwards we just want to recommend Mark because he's such a great source of information. He's up to date with all of the information online for marketing your business, promoting it and how the different ways to do that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody in our line of business in hospitality world. He's a great teacher. We look forward to working with him in the future and just want to say thanks very much for all his hard work over the last few months. We really appreciate it.
