New Outer Banks Vacation Rental Website Launched for Corolla Classic Vacations By Blizzard Internet Marketing, Inc.

Corolla, NC (PRWEB) March 5, 2010

Blizzard Internet Marketing, Inc., a Colorado based SEO and website design firm, partnered with Corolla Classic Vacations of the Northern Outer Banks to develop a new website that showcased their exclusive collection of vacation homes.

Corolla Classic Vacations business mantra and goal is to be Deliberately and Selectively Smaller, only managing Northern Outer Banks vacation homes that meet their high standard of luxury and quality. The company selected Blizzard Internet Marketing, Inc. to redesign their website based on Blizzard Internets longstanding reputation of successfully designing and marketing hospitality websites that rank well in search engines, attract quality traffic in competitive markets, and drive more traffic through the booking process.

The new website is designed using WordPress; a design platform that is naturally search engine friendly, easy to update, and compliments Corolla Classic Vacations brand. Corolla Classic Vacations vision for the new website design is to reflect that of their business: for guests to experience a personal level of service, laid back simplicity, and to enjoy the uniqueness and quality that each of their Northern Outer Banks vacation homes offer.

Creating a website that reflected both Corolla Classic Vacations brand and mantra was accomplished by acquiring high quality, professional images from a local photographer and by integrating hues inspired by the companys logo as the backdrop of the website. The creative for this project was driven by Corolla Classic Vacations overall unique simplicity.

Denise K. Graham, founder of Corolla Classic Vacations is thrilled, noting that the website is vibrant with movement that holds interest. The look and feel is especially stunning, in particular the large property images.

A great deal of work went into creating a solution that integrated Corolla Classic Vacations property management system with an online booking solution that is easy for searchers to find their perfect vacation. This was achieved by using the Blizzard Reservation Engine, Blizzard Internet Marketings solution to taking Corolla Classic Vacations property data and converting it to a format that is not only easy for visitors but also allows Corolla Classic Vacations access to an extensive range of editing capabilities on the website.

I love the overall look and feel of the site, says Billy Casper, Vice President of Property Management, its the most user friendly site in our market.

Key Features of the Blizzard Reservation Engine and WordPress that were integrated into Corolla Classic Vacations design include:

Streamline Vacation Rental and Property Management Software

Tempe, Arizona (PRWEB) June 15, 2012

Running a property management or a vacation rental management company can be extremely lucrative. To successfully reap the rewards of this evolving industry, business operators must build lean and efficient companies that save time, cut costs, and increase revenues. Companies that prepare for the future with progressive thinking will thrive where companies that stay stagnant and neglect the benefits of modern technology will struggle to succeed.

Investing in a smart, powerful, reliable and affordable property management software or vacation rental software is by far the most important strategic business decision a company can make. Many property management and vacation rental companies waste an incredible amount of time and money doing unnecessary work. The Streamline software was built on the idea of automating many aspects of the property management process, minimizing workloads and allowing vacation rental managers to do what they do best, take a vacation!

Taking advantage of a quality property management system will make a world of difference in your company. It will help you minimize errors, increase rentals, save money, save time, encourage growth and ultimately build your brand. In this industry companies use many different systems to run their business. Running so many systems side by side can be frustrating and costly. Streamline consolidates almost the entire process into one system.

Streamline offers VRBO, Homeaway, and Flipkey calendar integration along with a seamless lead management system. The software also offers QuickBooks integration to sync to the accounting system. Internally Streamline has its own email marketing system so that a company can eliminate other 3rd party platforms. At the same time, the Streamline software allows a company to sync directly with Constant Contact software. The WordPress plugins allow for a simple and fully integrated website and online booking system. Integrated with Echosign, a company no longer has to manage rental contracts. The system handles all of that for you. It automatically sends out the contract, and when the electronic signature takes place it tags it in the reservation. This alone can cut some businesses workload in half. The system has a very flexible document and email template section where much of the communication to the guests, owners, and company employees can happen automatically. The software also integrates with InnLink to market your properties through the global distribution system. This means you can put your units on Expedia, Travelocity and many others. The system also offers automatic social media integration with Facebook, Twitter, Linked in and the other social media platforms.

Cutting down on the unnecessary hours spent on repetitious and manual workloads becomes critical so you can focus your energies on growing and improving your business. Many companies settle for mediocrity because things are comfortable enough at the moment to not make that jump to the next level. The problem is your competition is likely gaining the edge on you with progressive approaches to their business. If you are not moving forward you are moving backwards in this industry because technology is becoming more and more prevalent.

Streamline is built with many different modules. There is an admin module, owners module, front desk module, housekeeping module, accounting module, maintenance module, and travel agent module. The system also has an SEO component to help you manage your search engine rankings and get your website higher in Google, Bing and the other engines.

Finding the right company is probably the hardest part of acquiring a system. Streamline treats its clients like partners and really does care about their business. The cost associated with the system is fair and reasonable for all types of companies. Many software providers charge percentages of gross revenue where other companies charge per booking.

Streamline feels that this is unfair because it punishes a company for being successful. The Streamline pricing structure encourages growth and allows for financial predictability. It is important to understand that Streamline was built by property managers for property managers to help maximize rentals and efficiency. The software has a great feel and is very easy to learn and use. To help you understand what the Streamline software offers you can visit the website or contact one of our friendly sales agents to discuss how Streamline can make your life easier as a vacation rental or property manager.
