If this information isn’t in the ad, it should at least lead on the landing page. ## Early-booking discounts are a strong lever Resort bookings are usually planned months ahead. Starting early-booking campaigns well before the season catches the audience seeking the best price. ## Balancing OTA and direct booking Resorts are subject to OTA commission too; the brand-search defence and price-parity principles from [hotel advertising](https://oguzerol.com/en/hotel/) apply here as well. **How do we start?** First we discuss your target audience (family, couple, group) and seasonal calendar. You can reach me from the [contact page](https://oguzerol.com/en/contact/). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Should family and couple targeting be separate? Yes, they need different priorities and different visual language; separate ad groups work better. ### How important is Instagram in this sector? Quite important; a resort sells a visual promise, and [Instagram](https://oguzerol.com/en/instagram-ads-specialist/) adds to the intent Google Ads catches. ### Which conversion action should be measured? Direct booking; every booking lost to an OTA means paying commission.

Work-hour packages Tell me about your business and what you need on WhatsApp or by phone; we agree on **a work block of somewhere between 5 and 40 hours** and I start doing what is needed. What you get is not a calendar window — it is net working hours spent directly on your business. I can use 40 hours working three days straight, or deliberately spread it out and finish it over a year — whatever the work calls for. I do not spend my time estimating how long something will take, I spend it doing the work; every hour I spend leaves a lasting result in your business. We keep going for as long as you find it useful. WORK BLOCKS ## Why not monthly? Is 40 hours a week? On a fixed monthly fee both sides are watching the wrong thing: you watch a fixed cost, the other side watches how many more contracts like this they can line up. Working by the hour puts us both in front of the same thing — the real value of the work that got done. I know not having an upfront answer to "how much will this cost in total?" is the natural cost of this model. But instead of paying a fixed fee for months to a setup that is not producing results, you only pay for the qualified time spent on your work — and you see exactly where that time went, start to finish. That is why my clients keep coming back. 5hours300€ + VAT60€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%205-hour%20work%20block.) 10hours500€ + VAT50€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2010-hour%20work%20block.) 20hours800€ + VAT40€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2020-hour%20work%20block.) 40hours1,400€ + VAT35€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2040-hour%20work%20block.)
