Sailing Deals

 
 


How it works

 
     
  Buying:
  • Search the site for the sailing deal or charter you want by using the selection buttons on the left side.
  • If you find something you like,  press the Enquiry/Provisional Booking button shown against the item to send a confidential email to the sailing school.
  • The enquiry or provisional booking will be dealt with directly by the sailing school. NO MONEY CHANGES HANDS AT THIS STAGE.
  • Pay for the item as agreed with the sailing school.
  • Attend your sailing course/charter. That's it!

 

 
     
  Selling:
  • List your sailing course/charter for up to 12 weeks at 49p per week.
  • Add a digital photo of your boat or your LOGO if you want to.
  • Select any of the optional extra selling items if you want to (there is a small charge).
  • Make sure your SPAM filter will accept emails from Sailing Deals and wait to be contacted by a customer.
  • When a customer sends you an enquiry or booking request; reply to it immediately. If its a booking then you must collect the money in your usual way. There are no commission charges.
  • That's it!

 

 
     
 
Keeping it simple. Notes for advertisers.
We want you to be able to list your sailing course/charter quickly, simply and reach a bigger audience. So:
  • This site is open to any organisation dealing with sailing/boating.
  • There is no restriction on the number of courses/charters you can list.
    List as many sailing courses/charters as you like but each one must have its own unique Reference No. This acts as the LOGIN name which allows you to edit certain details about yourself and your item.
  • Please do not list a range of sailing courses/charters. Each listing should consist of a single course/charter with photo.
  • Customers DO NOT need to register in order to browse or buy. Once your sailing course/charter is listed, anyone can contact you about it although your personal details are kept secret.
  • You must not infringe any copyright or offer RYA (or any other organisation) courses if you are not qualified to do so. Keep it legal.
  • We (eDomicile) do not accept any responsibility for your advert or the customers that may come from it.
  • Listings deemed to be unsuitable will be removed. Pornography is NOT allowed.
 
     
 

What happens once you have listed:
Listing your sailing course/charter is very easy and only takes 5 minutes. Once listed and accepted by Admin visitors to the site will be able to search for and select your item to view. If they like it they can send you a message via our secure email system telling you who they are and talk to you about the sailing course/charter. If they want to make a booking, it will be up to you to carry out the negotiation. YOU get to keep all the money you make from the sale so remember,  you must collect payment yourself by whatever means you are happy with. 

IMPORTANT! Once you have registered an item you will receive emails from us AND potential customers through our server (system@sailingdeals.co.uk) so its very important that you adjust your spam killer to allow them through.

 
     
 

You have control.
Once your item is listed you will be able to log onto the site using the Reference Number and the password you chose when you listed the item. You can then change some of the details recorded there. Please keep your record up to date.

 
     
  Show your LOGO or take a Photograph of your boat.
A photograph is a real advantage and is essential to getting your message across to potential customers. Most modern digital cameras take photo's that are much too big for a web site to handle so we have to shrink them down. You can do this with your own software or there are plenty of free sites on the internet that will do it for you. It's a good idea to resize your photo before you list your item as it saves you being diverted during the listing process.
 
     
  Your details
Your personal details remain confidential and are not passed on to the customer until you, yourself, wish to do so. We do not pass on your information to any 3rd party so you should not receive unsolicited mail from anyone else. We will keep you up to date by email on what is happening with your item and listing and may, from time to time, keep you informed about events on this site.
