A Place in the Sun

We have just placed a couple of adverts in the 'A Place in the Sun' magazine  to coincide with their exhibition at Earl's Court, London. We anticipate having a stand at their Autumn show to bring even more exposure to EHH.

We hope this will prove fruitful and bring in even more new members and spread the word about  Exchange Holiday Homes and what a great idea it is!

Search option added

We have added an extra  search option in your Members Home page. Just add the ID Ref no of the one that you want to go back to and it will take you to that property , instead of having to find it in the lists.

This will save time for you all. We are working on adding more search options , so watch this space!

Back in to the Swing ...

... Of things.

We have been promoted. There is a temporary link to this blog on the front page on Exchange Holiday Homes now. I'm sure we'll get a much more pretty link at some point in the near future maybe even with a picture. We have a big redevelopment planned with lots of new features, so maybe we can push to be a bigger part of the NEW EHH. Capitalisation added for emphasis.

One of the latest properties added. Kilkee - Co Clare - Ireland

In other news, we've been really pleased with the number of new members applying to join in the early part of 2010 and the number of you making swap enquiries. We've had people flying around the world all over the place. It's enough to make you jealous.

We are recruiting more estate agents and property developers to our cause too (have a look at one of our partners, pictured above, here), and look forward to helping them sell their properties with the knowledge that the clients can use our club to see the world and not just their same holiday home multiple times every year.

We would also like this to be a forum for your thoughts and ideas? Is there anything you think we could do better? Could add in the future? That's not forgetting our main forum here,

http://exchangeholidayhomes.com/forum/, but feel free to add anything you'd like to say in the comments below.

Would you like this blog to tackle specific issues? Is there anything you think is difficult to understand with the swap system? You input is invaluable. You are the reason we are here and we want to our very best to get it right.

Happy New Year!

Firstly we'd like to wish all of you reading a very Happy New Year. We may be a little late but we've been more than a little busy so I'm sure you'll forgive us. What's new I don't hear you asking, but assume you are thinking. Well, most popular in 2010 so far are hot properties. By that I mean people seem to be very interested in the properties located in more temperate environments than this.

Our holiday home in the snow.

People, including ourselves, can't wait to warm back up in the foreign sunshine. So if you own a holiday home in such a location, add some weeks on Exchange Holiday Homes and you could well find yourselves with a lot of interest. You then earn yourself credits and can start looking for your own holidays.

We're just hoping it warms up a little here and I can actually leave the office at some point this week. It's currently snowing again. Heavy. Maybe one of the enquiries you might get will be from me.

We had an unconventional snowplough operator visit this year.

Twitteriffic

Hi members, potential members, and non-related lurkers,
We wanted to bring to your attention to what we believe is a fabulous new invention known as Twitter. Well, it's not that new, it's been around for a few years now, and I'm sure more than a few of you have heard and maybe even use the service.
The good news is it's completely free and allows you to easily keep up to date with friends, family, current events, and just about anything else you have an interest in. We missed out the most important one there though. Did you spot it? It allows you to keep up to date with us here at Exchange Holiday Homes.

We 'tweet' (technical term) throughout the working day with updates on new members, people looking for swaps, and even the odd unrelated to business updates. It allows us to keep in touch with you efficiently and you can tweet right back.

So we encourage you to have a look at Twitter, and start to follow our Tweets. Our personal page is found here: http://twitter.com/holidayhomeswap

We hope to be adding you to our list of Tweeps (people who follow us on Twitter) soon.

Swap Swap Swaps!

Firstly, our sincere apologies to our regular blog readers that we have been blogless for quite a while. We promise the disappointment has been without good reason.

We've been busy building up relationships with some fantastic estate agents and property developers which in turn has kept us busy registering all the new members' properties and arranging swaps left, right and middle.



My personal new favourites are the four properties we have available in Killerig, Carlow in Ireland. Nestled amid 130 acres of manicured parkland within the grounds of the stylish four star Killerig Resort Hotel. Located just 1 hour from Dublin, you are surrounded by a fabulous scenic hinterland landscape and framed on the west by the Killeshin Hills.

My favourite part though is that all lodge residents have full use of the resorts facilities. An example of which being the 16m Deck Level Swimming Pool Sauna, Steam room and Jacuzzi.

The lodges can all be found on Exchange Holiday Homes and we can make the enquiries for availability on your behalf.

We will keep you updated and list more new properties next week.
