Rentals.com Rolls Out Streamlined Ad Creation Tool : Ease-of-Use for Advertisers Benefits Renters Who Turn to the Internet to Find a Place to Live
ATLANTA (Business Wire EON) October 6, 2008 -- "The reach and effectiveness of online versus traditional newspaper listings is significant ? more exposure at lower cost. And because time is valuable, we've improved landlords' ad investments by streamlining the advertising process. This means less time spent creating an ad and more time in front of prospective tenants," said John Ujda, vice president of business development at Rentals.com. "The enhancement also coincides with a housing market reality in which fewer people are able to secure home loans. In our view, servicing the rental marketplace with the most comprehensive listings network became all the more critical."
Launching in tandem with the improved ad creation tool is a free customer service offering that will walk property managers and landlords through the process of posting an ad. Ujda added, "No question advertising on Rentals.com is easier than ever. However, we remain committed to a customer service element that will drive loyalty and positive interactions. At the end of the day, we recognize the tremendous upside that comes with greater exposure and online prominence and will frequently fine tune our offering to make the experience for property managers and landlords as effortless and as intuitive as possible."
Rentals.com will continue to invest in improvements to the site and is expected to unveil a new customer experience later in the fall that will include refined search results and new mapping functionality.
