Wells, Somerset -- (SBWire) -- 03/23/2011 -- This month has seen The Holiday Cottages website launch themselves on Twitter and Facebook, along with starting a company Blog.

The move had been on the cards for some time as part of the groups overall media strategy, integrating social media and other platforms.

It is hoped that the companys presence on such social media and networking sites will enable its clients (new and existing) to be able to communicate with the company in an alternative way other than telephone and email. It will also enable greater transparency to be observed, with questions and answers displayed in a public forum.

Early success has already been achieved on both sites, and to promote the initiative, for the month of February the team offered a little something special to all new customers. Those clients who had Facebook or Twitter would get a free mention on the company Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as a write-up on their newly-launched Blog during this month.

The Holiday Cottages website offers advertising to self-catering accommodation owners. The site receives over 4 million hits per month and is listed on page 1 of all the major search engines including Google. You can view the site at http://www.theholidaycottages.co.uk.
