Cutting Edge Technology Powers New Vacation Rental Pros Web Site

    JACKSONVILLE BEACH, FL, July 30, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The new and improved VacationRentalPros.com Web site is now available, and it features the most sophisticated technology in the industry. The site is a breeze to navigate and offers a generous selection of hard-to-find vacation rental homes in top Sunshine State destinations. That makes finding and booking the ideal vacation rental easier than ever, and families can go online to browse properties and make reservations 24-hours a day.

According to Vacation Rental Pros CEO Steve Milo, the Jacksonville Beach, Florida-based firm has increased in size by 600 percent within the past three years, due to its unique Web-based focus on the marketing of vacation rentals. "Consumers expect vacation rentals to live up to the standards of other travel sites with high quality pictures, lots of reviews, and an easy to use online booking system," explained Milo, whose background is e-commerce marketing. Milo hired his first employee in late 2006, but today he employs 14 full-time workers and another 75 contractors and is still hiring due to the success of his online marketing of vacation rentals.

To support its rapid growth the Vacation Rental Pros launched the revamped web site with cutting edge enhancements including larger and more vivid property photos, YouTube videos, and more than 2,400 independent guest reviews. The VacationRentalPros.com site averages between 1,000 to 3,000 unique visitors per day and offers visitors over 200 beach rentals in Palm Coast, St. Augustine Beach, Sarasota, Siesta Key, and Venice, Florida.

Escapia Software - a leading provider of Internet business platforms - congratulated the Vacation Rental Pros team on the release of their new site. "Escapia is committed to giving managers rich tools to create sophisticated web sites of their own that are seamlessly integrated with their back office software," a company representative explained. "So it is exciting to see Vacation Rental Pros take advantage of so much that our platform has to offer in order to create a Web site that will continue their leadership in the Florida vacation rental market."

"We built this site with feedback from industry and online marketing experts who were frustrated with the lack of an integrated marketing platform," said Kalpesh Guard, CEO of Actonia, Inc., the other company involved in the site's creation. "Vacationrentalpros.com is the result of over 1,000 hours of development, and we are excited to release a platform that provides advanced search marketing capabilities, merchandising flexibility, automated triggered email marketing and deep analytic insights that are totally out of the box."
