New Inn Motel
"Our advertising in the Daily Mail has been spasmodic in the past. Results were OK but needed to improve and our last advert was a vast improvement. We had 9 bookings from the advert. The response was brilliant and the guests that have already been here this week are talking of booking another visit. Really great."
- Sheila & Chris Birkinshaw - New Inn Motel

- Joan Williams - Hayes Barton

Herston Leisure
"I would very much like to thank you for your help and advice to me, as this was my first go at advertising. The response from the two consecutive weeks of advertising with the Mail on Sunday, was very positive. I secured fifteen confirmed bookings, and sent out fourteen brochures. I will definitely be booking a series of bookings with The Mail on Sunday."
- Liz Hamblin, Manager - Herston Leisure
Best Western Glendower Hotel
"We are delighted by the level of service we have received from the team at the Daily Mail. They have been prompt and efficient throughout but the real testimony is the feedback from the advert. We have had an excellent return on our investment which is why we are placing another advert with you this week!!"
- Victoria Cornwall - Best Western Glendower Hotel
Yorkshire Coastal Cottages
"We advertise in the Daily Mail and are very pleased with the response - both in terms of quantity and quality. We have used the Daily Mail classified section as part of our marketing strategy to raise our profile on a national basis and engender responses across a broad target audience. The call to action was to generate response for our brochure, drive traffic to our website and of course to generate bookings, all of which have scored highly and represented a good return on investment."
- Susan Goss-Clements, Managing Director - Yorkshire Coastal Cottages
Ruskin Hotel, Blackpool
"“I am delighted with the response the Mail on Sunday has brought back. In just 2 days, we’ve had 23 phone calls of which we’ve sent Brochures out to all. I am hopeful a good number of these will book. This is in comparison to a red top we use regularly who only brought us 2 calls with the same size advert. Very pleased and will be looking to book in again first weekend in January”"
- Graham Harries - Ruskin Hotel, Blackpool
Rockland Lodges
"The response from our advert in the Daily Mail has been wonderful. We placed just a small ad for a holiday complex and just as the salesman told us, we had a large response with many enquiries turning into firm bookings. We have found that the advert has reached the people that the internet does not reach. For us, this has been invaluable as it’s a perfect demographic for the customers we wish to attract. The salesman was very helpful with plenty of experienced advice."
- Andrea Watson - Rockland Lodges

We will certainly be using your publication again in the future."
- Gail Gravett - Lakeland Photographic Holidays

- Joan Williams - Hayes Barton

- Sharon Sandercock, Marketing and Communications Manager - Cornish Cottages Ltd

I look forward to future success."
- Julia Awcock - Connemara Coastal Cottages
Railtrail Tours Ltd
"Working in partnership with the Mail classified has been an absolute delight.
The most satisfying aspect being the friendly and professional manner of Nicola and Grant who take the time to build a working relationship that is based on a long term association that benefits both parties rather than a short term hard sell.
One of the most pleasing aspects of my job is being presented with our web-site analytics that clearly justify our advertising investment with the Mail classified."
- Dave Felstead, Managing Director - Railtrail Tours Ltd

Whitby Coastal Cottages

- Amanda Pearson - Whitby Coastal Cottages

- Amy Roe, Sales & Marketing Manager - St Mellion International Resort
Pride of Britain Hotels
"Our small advertisement in hotel focus was well worth placing, we had 95 requests for brochures on our answerphone and we took another 75 or so brochure requests during the Monday alone, this demand kept up quite a pace for the rest of the week following publication of the advert."
- Michelle Hancock - Pride of Britain Hotels
Private Advertiser
"I just wanted to let you know my advertisement for my Holiday Apartment in Worthing under your UK Holidays - Sussex banner in the Daily Mail Saturday August 21st 2010 edition was well worth placing.

I will certainly use the Daily Mail’s classifieds to advertise again."
- Sue Harding - Private Advertiser

Burlington Ventnor
"Without a doubt the response has been the best for quite a while. We had the highest exposure of any advertiser that week and I guess we had the highest response. The business generated in one advert more than paid for all three adverts with a little left over."
- Gavin Wye, Owner - Burlington Ventnor
Hayes Barton
"We started using the Saturday Mail approximately 6 years ago and have built up a lot of repeat business since then. We are more than happy with the response our adverts generate and have noticed in particular that there is always a higher number of calls when the Isle of Wight map is used. Obviously a successful advertising tool. Apart from the AA Guides in which we feature, we have now moved exclusively to using the Saturday Mail as it brings, generally, the quality of guest we are looking for. The contact staff are always helpful and we are extremely pleased with the service we receive.

Ivy House Country Hotel and The Crooked Barn
"We are a small hotel and have been advertising with the Mail on a weekly basis for over 5 years. We find that the lineage advert works very well and have always received a steady stream of enquiries which also have a good conversion rate = value for money. The system works very well with back up calls from Daily Mail (Sommer) to see how our advert is doing or if any changes are required. I have advertised with other national papers who do not offer this service which is very annoying when you would like your advert to continue but no one phones to remind you that it has expired = loss of income for us and the newspaper.
"
