vFlyer and VaultWare Partner to Provide Integrated Craigslist Services for the Apartment Industry
November 3, 2009, Francisco, CA -- Today, vFlyer announced a version of its award-winning classified advertising services developed specifically for apartment owners and managers. The vFlyer-VaultWare version will incorporate the automatic content updating and online availability and reservations functionality of the VaultWare solution provided by Realty DataTrust.
The alliance between vFlyer and VaultWare makes it even easier for property managers to promote their available apartments on Craigslist, as well as other online marketplaces where vFlyer automatically submits listings. Individual flyers will automatically be created for each floor plan offered by the property based on a content feed from VaultWare. Pricing updates and content changes made within VaultWare will automatically be applied to the flyers daily. The flyers and the Craigslist-compatible HTML code generated by vFlyer will also include a link for users to check availability, reserve, and pre-qualify for apartments online via VaultWare directly from Craigslist.
The vFlyer Classified Marketing Solution stands out from its peers in the following ways:
- Branding – custom, branded themes can be easily created and applied to advertising content
- Agency Edition – accounts can be set up and assigned to community personnel
- Management Oversight – corporate standards can be set up and enforced by the system
- Craigslist Content – ten attractive layouts for Craigslist content
- Social Media – a library of widgets is available; integrations with Facebook and Twitter
"This partnership is a win for both our property management clients and people looking to find a new apartment," said Aaron Sperling, CEO/President of vFlyer. "This integrated offering saves time and ensures accuracy in the online advertisements. In addition, it simplifies the process to check availability and reserve an apartment."
"The volume of renters viewing availability on Craigslist increased seventy percent (70%) last quarter making it a key advertising source for many property managers," said Mike Cornell, COO of Realty DataTrust. "Providing Craigslist users with access to the detailed availability and pricing information they want, along with the convenience to begin the leasing process online, dramatically increases lease conversion."
