With the Internet, the marketing of Holiday Cottages has changed beyond all recognition.
With a small well-designed Website and some good photographs you would instantly be able to promote your product to a worldwide market.
Chris started photographing holiday cottages some 22 years ago with a then small company called Rural Retreats. Now they are one of the country’s leading agencies and their rise to fame has been in no small way due to Chris’s approach to interior photography. "I try when arriving at a property to imagine how I would like it to look if I were staying there", says Chris, and he then goes on to style the room to look inviting and comfortable. This skill cannot be learned from books or magazines. It is all in "the eye" and what he believes, and as hindsight often shows, is what the buying public wants.
Another prominent client and leading holiday cottage company that Chris now works with is Premier Cottages. For the past 10 years, the work Chris has done for Premier Cottages has steadily grown, and also includes a number of front cover photographs.
With the development of ever more sophisticated digital cameras, photography became much easier, and many owners opted to do their own photographs. Once placed on the internet and compared with other sites these images were somewhat lacking in their appeal.
While in the short term it may seem to be cost effective to do your own photographs, this is the only way your product is being shown to the buying public, who on a daily basis are looking at high quality images in numerous magazines, such as Country Living, Interiors, and many others.
Often thousands have been spent on making the cottage/s lovely to look at and comfortable to live in, and to short change the marketing of them negates all the good work that has gone before.
