Absoluut Valvert

Absolutely Valvert, a luxurious bed & breakfast nestled in the Luberon region, offers a serene retreat complete with a charming treehouse and a delightful hostess. However, the website failed to convey this captivating story.

the
challenge

Cathy from Maison Valvert reached out to me a few years ago. Following a challenging period, she sought to revamp her communication strategy, with the website as a starting point...

Yet, a website alone wouldn't suffice; a strategic approach was essential.

Together, we explored the full spectrum of possibilities, deliberated on how to handle the new website, and fine-tuned a comprehensive social media strategy. We also scrutinized untapped online opportunities, such as TripAdvisor, Booking.com, and Airbnb, recognizing their potential advantages.

the
approach

We swiftly recognized that the existing visual content fell short. After all, the property is a gem, and the current photos failed to capture its true essence. There's no better way to convey an atmosphere than through alluring visuals.

I embarked on a journey to France, savored the exceptional hospitality of the house, and skillfully crafted a captivating series of mood-setting images. These images were seamlessly integrated into the mobile-friendly website.

Simultaneously, Cathy diligently ensured the execution of our strategy: securing PR features in magazines whenever possible, garnering glowing reviews on Booking.com, and even earning a spot in Lonely Planet.

the
outcome

Our strategic approach yielded impressive results. A year later, we analyzed the numbers: it marked the best year yet. The projected booking targets were achieved three times faster than anticipated.

Even today, years later, we continue to monitor every aspect, perpetually seeking opportunities for subtle enhancements that yield improved performance.

what the client says

“Initially, I was only looking for a new website, but Ine managed to put this into a broader context. She taught me the ins and outs of the internet and showed me the importance of other websites, such as Booking, Airbnb (which was not yet widespread at the time), and Tripadvisor. This strategy led to a significant increase in bookings and profitability. Ine captured the soul of my B&B and translated it into a website that worked. ”
