Holiday Park Keeps Ringing Me. Why?

[Treacle71]

When I contacted a holiday park a week ago to enquire about caravan hire over Christmas, I made it clear that my decision would likely come at the last minute due to work commitments and just that I am a ‘last minute person’. Despite my transparent communication, they have persisted in calling me daily, which feels intrusive rather than helpful. I understand that they are likely trying to secure bookings, but their relentless follow-up has become a nuisance rather than a service.

On Saturday, after a week of daily phone calls, I chose not to answer their latest attempt to reach me. I appreciate their desire to finalise reservations, but I simply do not wish to be pressured into making a decision. This is my usual approach to holiday planning, and I feel it’s important for businesses to respect the preferences of potential customers. If I decide to move forward with a reservation, I will reach out when I'm ready, without the influence of ongoing phone calls.

What should I do?  Continue to ignore them/block them?

It's essential for service providers to understand that not all customers operate on the same timeline.

Have you told them to stop phoning you?

It's essential that you understand holiday companies need to fill vacancies as soon as they can - relying on last minute bookings especially at prime times like Christmas can break a business.  They can't operate on a wing and a prayer.

Stick to your guns so you can continue this latest saga with a rant about how they knew you were a last-minute person and how they let the caravan you were obviously going to book to someone a bit more organised.

Santa's been ringing me all week wanting my list, dam pest. :0(

Only a week to go before Christmas and you are still prevaricating about what to do. Make a decision. It's not fair to mess them around.

Tell them you don't want the caravan.

The monumental problems some people have to deal with, eh?

Hardly a last minute person if you are ringing two weeks in advance

Either book it and pay now or let it go to someone else.  They are a business not a charity.

Personally I think  they are going over the top to help you, I would have just cancelled your booking and let it go to someone who really wanted it.

Words dont put food on the table.

I don't imagine they are holding the booking for you but desperately trying to secure a sale.

Answer it next time and either confirm a booking, or ask them politely to stop calling you as it's intrusive. 
and a waste of their time because I doubt very much you will book it.
