Howzit, Hello, Aloha and Kia Ora (hello in Maori and a really cool series of TV ads in the UK over 20 years ago for orange cordial) to onelocation.com. So what is this ‘blog chitty chatty’ thing all about? It’s just a place where we can share some creative thinking [and some 'not so' creative thinking] about how effective [and cheap] online based media and intelligent consumer focussed marketing can be as well as giving holidaymakers helpful advice and tips on choosing the perfect holiday accommodation in Cape Town and the Western Cape. We’ll be offering the wisdom of over 20 years experience in the industry [we were the early adopters of the new web era!] and posting regular tips and hints on how owners can increase their bookings, streamline their business and fill those empty bednights. We’ll also post some random thoughts, brain dumps and the occasional rant.

Why are we doing this? Because we can and because we are passionate about what we do. We know all this stuff works so why keep it to ourselves. We’re also holidaymakers and there’s nothing more frustrating than trawling through countless poorly designed sites with barely any relevant information and still not being able to find what we want.

But really, why are we doing this? Yeah yeah, I hear what you’re saying, these people are trying to hypnotise me into getting my site revamped or they’re trying to sell me SEO for huge amounts of cash. Okay okay, we’ve been rumbled. Yes we are trying to get your site revamped AND we are trying to get you to register your property but only because we believe we can make a different to your bookings and business. The simple truth if you are a holiday home owner we want your business to work … and if you’re a holidaymaker we want to make sure you find what you’re looking for.
