		“Prior to advertising on Pitchup.com, our PODS were getting very limited bookings. In the first month or so bookings have increased by more than 500% and are continuing to go from strength to strength. We have now added all of our PODS to Pitchup.com and would have no hesitation getting more PODS if we had the space!" Simon Copley, General Manager, Westholme Estate, April 2011
		"In the first week of teaming up with Pitchup.com we had more than 15 bookings, which is brilliant. We are extremely happy with the results so far and are looking forward to even more bookings this summer. The website is innovative, informative and easy to use. Thank you Pitchup.com!" Nicole Sadd, Marketing Manager, Darwin Holiday Parks, July 2010
		"Hendra Holiday Park are delighted with the response from Pitchup.com - we have never used this type of web-based pitch booking system before and were a little doubtful, but the guys at Pitchup.com are fantastic, explained everything clearly and took us through an easy step-by-step process to allow us to give it a try. It didn't take long to see results due to their high profile and very comprehensive marketing campaigns and easy online booking system. They have definitely proved that Pitchup.com will produce bookings, and we're now fully committed to making Pitchup.com part of our sales strategy from now on!" Marketing Manager, Hendra Holiday Park, June 2011
		"2011 is South West Lakes Trust’s first season with Pitchup.com and I am delighted with the level of interest and bookings that we have received at all of our sites across the SW region. Pitchup.com staff have been so helpful in getting our pages set up and any queries we have had have been speedily dealt with. Thank you and well done Pitchup.com." Andrew Parsons, Head of Operations, South West Lakes Trust, April 2011
		"From the moment we signed up with Pitchup.com we started generating bookings. In the three weeks we have been with them, I estimate about 80% of our pod customers have come through their website - bookings we were unlikely to have got otherwise. The great thing about Pitchup.com is that you actually get bookings, not just enquiries. And, unlike other listings websites, you only pay for the bookings you get rather than paying an annual fee upfront with no idea if sales will be generated. We also like how easy it is to update your information, photos and availability yourself." Kate Nichols, Owner, Hillcrest Park, June 2011
		"We were initially quite sceptical about using the on-line booking service on Pitchup.com. However, being a recently re-opened park, we decided that we needed to use all available tools to re-establish our customer base and let the world know our wonderful little park is back! "The upgrade to the 'Peak' booking service is free of charge, so all it was going to cost was a 15% commission on any booking generated...after some thought we realised it was a no-brainer... 85% versus an empty pitch earning 0% and the option to choose when and how many pitches we allocated...well we had to give it a try! Being a 40-pitch park I decided to allocate three pitches of each type to Pitchup.com (I could always reduce the number quickly on-line if I needed them for my own direct bookings). Pitchup.com staff were so helpful and quickly sorted out any little queries we had. "Within 36 hours of going live we had 3 bookings! These were bookings we definitely would not have had without Pitchup.com. These people will spread the word amongst their friends and hopefully generate more future bookings. THANK YOU PITCHUP.COM!" Kerry Thomas, Owner, Talywerydd Touring Park, April 2011
		"We love the look of the site and believe it must be really attractive to those wishing to research campsites. It is not overly complicated and is easy to use and we can control everything about our listing at the click of a button which is great. "At first we did not take up the offer of using the online booking with Pitchup.com mainly due to the fact that we have our own online booking system. However when asked again I reconsidered and guessed we had nothing to lose by giving it a go. We are quite a large holiday park and can therefore afford to allocate a number of pitches without worrying about double booking. Granted there is a commission charge for every booking taken but these are bookings that we might not necessarily have got so can’t complain. So far all bookings have been new customers to us who may not necessarily have chosen us had it not been for Pitchup.com. We are grateful for their great site and we look forward to its future developments which will surely benefit us all even more." Director, Cofton Country Holidays, June 2011
		"As an additional marketing medium for our PODs I am delighted that we are working closely with Pitchup.com to give the best support possible to many of our new Camping Pod sites. In this year of austerity no site owner - big or small, long established or new to the business - can afford not to take on some of the best marketing strategies available to them at the present time. Pitchup.com is bringing in bookings every week to the sites who have joined in with us this last few months. Westholme near Leyburn and The Quiet Site are amongst the larger operations and we are also seeing results for the two Pods at Bryn Dwr, Llandegla, in North Wales. Let's continue to build upon this success as swiftly as possible." Peter Ratcliffe, Director, Camping Pods UK, April 2011
		"We joined Pitchup.com from the very beginning and have been delighted with the business this website has generated ever since. Pitchup.com has thousands of online users thanks to their well designed, creative website and their tireless advertisement campaigns online and coverage in several well-known national newspapers. "Despite being novices to the online booking process at the beginning of the 2011 season we decided to upgrade our listing to the 'Peak' listing. Their booking system is user friendly, versatile and our availability can be updated at any time. They clearly explained how the process worked and once we'd completed the initial description of our pitches/rules, it takes only us a few seconds to update our availability. The cost for this listing is well though out as Pitchup.com’s commission is taken directly from the customer so we do not have transfer any money across once a booking is completed, saving us valuable time. The cost is fair too as we believe we will generate repeat customers and we are able to fill empty spaces when required. "We found that the majority of our customers now find information about our campsite online rather than the traditional guide books and we are certain that before long everyone will be booking their holidays online. Therefore, the online booking system Pitchup.com provides us with will ensure we keep up with the changing requirements of our customers for the foreseeable future. Finally, once a booking is completed online the customer’s required dates, pitch specifications and deposit are clearly displayed via email, which means we can deliver exactly what the customers desires. "To sum up our thoughts, we would highly recommend upgrading your listing to incorporate the online booking system and we look forward to working with Pitchup.com for the foreseeable future." Richard Barrett, Manager, Quantock Orchard Caravan Park, August 2011
		"We were dubious about online booking and decided to give Pitchup.com a try to dip our toes in the water. It doesn’t cost anything to set up and run and the Pitchup.com team were really helpful with any questions we had. "We like the fact that we have full control of how many pitches we put on and when. We’ve filled pitches that would have been empty before and you can’t ask for more than that!" Eli Taylor, Callow Top Holiday Park, August 2011
No logo		"Redlands Campsite is a new venture this year and as there are sites that have been going for quite a while I was not sure whether I would get any campers. Since I have been with Pitchup.com I have had more campers then I had expected all driven through from Pitchup.com so I am completely grateful to them for bringing the campsite to life - once again thanks very much." Pip Langdown, Owner, Redlands Farm, August 2011
		"Pitchup.com has been a great way to get our camp site online. The service from the team is efficient and personal, nothing to much trouble. The site looks modern and professional and has brought people to our camp site who wouldn’t have booked over the phone. I have no regrets when it comes to Pitchup.com." Andy Partridge, Hostel Manager, Burley Youth Hostel, August 2011
No logo		"Just to say thank you to the Pitchup.com team for a tremendous uptake for the Bank Holiday weekend at our campsite. We have had a lot of lovely campers from all over England staying and we certainly would not have been able to have such a good weekend without the team. Campers bought a lot of our poultry produce for their BBQs cooked on campfires which we allow here on site. Hope Pitchup.com continues with their success in helping campsite owners." Charlie Keen, Owner, Etherley Farm, August 2011 "Pitchup.com has been very beneficial to our bookings. We have had more 'Traffic' than we normally would - thank you. Very easy site to manage and lovely people to deal with." Charlie Keen, Owner, Etherley Farm, April 2012
		"Online booking is the way forward, whether we like it or not. Research shows that park owners are the most reluctant of all accommodation providers to embrace this. Many visitors from Europe, especially countries like Holland and France, expect to be able to book online. At Forest Glade this year we used Pitchup.com for the first time as we don’t yet have our own online booking system in place. Because Pitchup.com work hard to get up high in the search engine rankings they sell pitches, especially when demand is high, and also customers return to book pitches through them again and again. "We will still allocate pitches to Pitchup.com but this autumn we will be rolling out ourown online booking system. If you can book a flight to Australia or a holiday to the Maldives online you should be able to book a camping pitch in Devon! However, I am slightly nervous. What about all those regular customers who have been coming here for years and like the personal service that we give? They can ring up, we know who they are, which pitch or holiday caravan they like and we can have a friendly chat too. Although they will be booking online if they wish we will always take bookings by telephone or post, they can ring and discuss anything they need to with us and we are still here to give them a friendly welcome when they arrive. "Managing pitch allocation, especially when the park is busy, can be something that park owners worry about. Pitchup.com has thought about this and offers a ‘safety net’ in the form of a ‘stop allocation’ within 24/48/72 hours setting. It does take a bit of getting used to but remember when we did everything on paper and how we soon got used to a computerised booking system!" Andrea Gosling, Director, Forest Glade Holiday Park, October 2011
		"We used Pitchup.com for the first time this year and are really pleased with the response, it made a real difference to our main summer season! Will definitely be using in 2012." Booking Office Manager, Hedley Wood Caravan and Camping Park, December 2011
		"I just thought I'd put a few words together and say how great this year is going thanks to Pitchup.com. We have dealt with a few different agents over the years, but none where technical help for the online side of it is so easy to deal with, and your help has been invaluable. Many a time I have thought 'Argh! what can I do!' and a simple phone call has sorted it. "Once again, thanks for all you are doing. Here's to a long, healthy business relationship!" Abi Gravell, Idos Camping, April 2012
No logo		"We are so delighted with the bookings for our two- and three-bedroom static holiday homes from Pitchup.com that we felt it was only fair to give them the praise they deserve. Pitchup.com is cost effective, user friendly and above all works! Compared to other holiday home directories Pitchup.com by far outperforms these other sites with confirmed bookings. Thank you Dan and his team." Brian and Susan Saffill, Owners, Chy Carne Holiday Park, June 2012
		"Everything with Pitchup.com and Summer Lodge seem to be going great. Since going live in May 2012 we have generated a substantial proportion of bookings from static holiday homes. This is a great improvement for us and we hope to continue this working relationship with Pitchup.com." Karinda Taylor, Assistant Park Manager, Summer Lodge Holiday Park, June 2012
No logo		"I would like to congratulate Pitchup.com for producing a first class online booking system. It seems very user friendly and is easy to set up from a manager point of view. We have also had some very positive feed back from some of our customers who have actually booked via your system." Peter Mills, Owner, Moat Farm Touring Caravan Park and Campsite, June 2012
		"We just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your company's assistance and with the bookings that have been generated so far – long may it continue." James Parker, Owner, Parkland Caravan and Camping Site, August 2012
No logo		"Just wanted to say a big 'thank you' for all the views and bookings we've had with you over the past month. We've had a great response and a really nice customer base, mostly young families, mixed groups, and young couples. We couldn't have hoped for better guests. I really think the fantastic look / feel and usability of the website is key." Alex Young, Owner, Stanley Villa Farm Camping, September 2012
No logo		"This is our first season with camping pods. Pitchup.com generated a lot of bookings for us over the summer months. We are very pleased with the assistance that we received - everyone that we have spoken to at Pitchup.com has always been very helpful and courteous. We would definitely recommend Pitchup.com." Beth, William and Josie, Owners, West Wales Camping Pods, October 2012
		"Lady's Mile have seen a significant increase in bookings since joining Pitchup.com and I am looking forward to working with them in 2013." Rebecca Mason, Lady's Mile Holiday Park, October 2012
No logo		"Broadway House were more than happy with your help selling our pitches in 2012 and had a very good working relationship with you and both wish you well for 2013. We would not hesitate working with you again and highly recommend you to our other parks." Jo and Malc Wrigley, Managers, Broadway House Holiday Park, October 2012
