Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) --06/07/2011 -- Tourism advertising company Around About Britain has decided to release some information regarding the most popular searches they get on their website, which advertises accommodation all over the UK.

The website receives 2000 unique visitors per day and has over 4 millions hits per month.

Typically, as anybody would expect the most popular search terms are for Cornwall (Truro, Newquay), Devon and Blackpool.

But some results might surprise you. For example, searches for London increased by 300% in the lead-up to the Royal Wedding during April, with plenty of people looking to stay closeby to try and catch a glimpse of the nuptials.

People are also beginning to search for 2012 Olympic-related venues, such as Weymouth and Portland in Dorset where the Sailing will be hosted, Eton Dorney where the Rowing and Canoe Sprint will be held, and the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff which will host the Olympic Football.

Somerset, England -- (SBWIRE) --05/23/2011 -- When Around About Britain began back in 2008 the premise was simple; clients paid for advertising with the company and the company would carry out any amendments to their adverts free-of-charge throughout the lifetime of the advertising.

Around About Britain has now taken this one step further and has in development advert self-editing, which will enable clients to amend their own text and photos on the website. After gathering feedback from employees and clients the company now has a good idea of what people would like from the advert editing facility.

The facility is being developed by the Technical department and the end result will be that clients can use their existing login details to amend their adverts. All amendments will be passed through to the administration team who will ok them before going they go live on the website, providing a 'double-check' for accuracy and content.

Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/25/2011 -- Tourism company Around About Britain successfully raised a total of £150 for Comic Relief.

On Red Nose Day, the 18th March, the whole company came to work dressed in their most embarrassing outfits, from tracksuits to swimming costumes, and also with the biggest hair they could muster (although most opted for wigs).

Around About Britain also donated £1 for each order taken on the day to Comic Relief, plus the team played a game throughout the day called 'Name That Song'. Each time a salesperson took an order they were given the first line of a song, if they guessed the name of the song on the first go then the company would put an extra £1 towards Comic Relief. If they needed a second line they would have to donate 50p themselves, and if they needed 3rd or 4th lines they would have to donate 20p.

Comic Relief's mission is to drive positive change through the power of entertainment. Since its inception 25 years ago millions of pounds have been raised through Red Nose Day and Sport Relief. That money is spent in the best possible way to tackle the root causes of poverty and social injustice. You can find out more at http://www.comicrelief.com

The month of May saw the Marketing & Research Team at Around About Britain carry out a survey on a sample of their current clients with surprising results.

Coxley, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2010 -- Clients were asked if they had taken advantage of the free special offers tagline which is displayed on their advertisements on the website, and it was found that those who used it the most received more bookings than those who did not.

All clients surveyed reported receiving bookings, however those who had used the tagline had approximately 50% more bookings than those who had not used the tagline.

The special offer tagline is completely free to use for all clients and is included on the front page of every advertisement and highlighted in red to make it stand out. Using their individual login details clients can amend this box as they wish or one of the administration staff can edit it on the clients behalf for free. It is hoped that upon hearing the results of the survey more clients will begin using the box and therefore increase their bookings through the Around About Britain website.

Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2010 -- The team at Around About Britain, based in Somerset, have been working hard during the month of March and have sold a record number of special Featured Advertisements – a total of 57.

Apart from the teams obvious star-selling power, it is thought that this increase is due to the season starting to come alive and people are also willing to pay more to kick-start their summer advertising, especially as this will be the first holiday season that the UK has had coming out of the recession.

The team is positive about the future, with Team Leader James Grant saying, "Although we have weathered the recession extremely well, it is looking very bright at the moment, and we will certainly be beating our records month-on-month from now on".

Featured Adverts mean that instead of being listed on the main page with other advertisements, you are instead displayed at the top with a paragraph of text and a photo. The featured advert is placed in that location for one month, and after that, depending on which package has been taken out, they will continue to have a regular advert on the main part of the website. Only one Featured Advert is available for each county covering each type of accommodation, so spaces were limited and the response has been really encouraging.

Coxley, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/18/2010 -- The Around About Britain website has noticed a significant increase in the number of clients choosing the site to advertise their camping and caravanning sites, parks and resorts over the past month. Although the site deals in every type of accommodation available to people in the UK, such as self-catering, bed and breakfasts, hotels, inns and hostels, subscriptions to the camping section have increased somewhat compared to normal figures for this time of year.

It is thought this is due to a number of factors, the foremost being that positivity is renewed due to the fact that the UK is continuing the pull out of its recession, and this coupled with the long-range weather forecast for this year saying the summer is set to be a scorcher means that a lot more people are prepared to spend out on their advertising for 2010 as opposed to back in 2009.

This will enable not only the website to grow and therefore provide a better service experience to its clients and visitors, but also it will affect the exposure that people are getting for their sites and parks this year, increasing enquiries and bookings and getting the UK well on its way into a good tourist season for the summer of 2010 and beyond.

Around About Britain exceeds all expectations in it’s first year!

Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/17/2009 -- October 2008 saw a brand new website called Around About Britain catering for a multitude of accommodation options being launched to the public. It has been received exceptionally well, currently logging over 2 million hits per month, with just over 1000 unique visitors per day. This is outstanding performance for a website which will soon be just one year old.

With new properties being added throughout each day and new features which utilise the very latest website technology developed by an in-house team, added regularly to the site, it has increased traffic to the site with phenomenal success.

New features on the site include Featured accommodation listings, which highlight one property in each county at the top of search pages in order to increase their visibility on the site. Other major features include two completely new sections – one which lists Pubs & Inns with accommodation available, and another section for Hostels. These have been very successful during the last few months since their launch and further success is highly anticipated for the future.

Over the next year the Around About team plan to keep adding more useful features along with becoming more established, making the website better and more user-friendly. You can view the site at http://www.aroundaboutbritain.co.uk
