DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONAL MEMBERSHIP SERVICES

Featured Property Listing: Our "Featured Property" concept places a listing's lead photo and brief description directly on our highly visible home page for a year, in continuous rotation. Since we target Door County, these impressions are valuable. When a visitor clicks on a Featured Property, they are taken directly to that property's listing page. This feature provides you with terrific marketing power.

Photo Enhancement Service: If your photos are not quite bright enough, need cropping, or just some TLC, we can help. We use state-of-the-art photo software to enhance your existing photos so your property shows well on our site. There is no charge for work on photos that are "beyond hope."

Photography of the property: Photography of your property is offered for those owners, managers, or agents who cannot provide photos. High quality photos give a good impression of your property. If you have no usable photos of your property, we can schedule a visit for an on location photo shoot. The property must be located in Door County. Both inside and outside photos are taken.

AVAILABILITY CALENDAR AND GUESTBOOK (RENTAL LISTINGS ONLY)

An Availability Calendar for your rental property is an important means of letting prospective guests know when your property is available and when it is not. Our web site uses a free and universal calendar service located at www.rentors.org. The dates your property is available is controlled completely by you. If you already have a property i.d. number with this service, you're all set! You can enroll and obtain such a number at no charge by clicking on the link above, or by clicking on the calendar icon on your listing page once it becomes visible. Your i.d. number must be entered into the appropriate field on the Listing setup screen in the Self Service Property Listing Module. Remember to click the "Save" button at the top or bottom of that screen. From that point on, web visitors will be taken directly to your calendar in a new browser window when they click on the icon. IMPORTANT NOTE: You'll need to login to your calendar with your username and password established with rentors.org (which we will not have) to update the calendar as often as appropriate. Please keep your Availability Calendar up-to-date. The process above automatically activates your Guestbook on the same service. The Guestbook is a useful tool to communicate testimonials to prospects. Click on the Guestbook icon on your listing page to learn more.

Good Luck!

One of the keys to successful internet marketing is repetition and redundancy. Here's a recent article about the importance of listing your property on multiple sites. We provide a highly targeted niche market platform, since we specialize in Door County and strive to reach prospects who search with keywords related to Door County. Since July, 2005, we have run over 1.7 million ads on the internet! The majority of the ads ran on Google, which is currently the leading provider in terms of total internet search traffic. Our organic search rankings have greatly increased since we started business. In addition, our sister web sites also generate traffic for us. As we grow and become more prominently placed on the web, your listing gains more exposure to the demographic you seek in your property rental or sales business! This year we celebrate our 5th anniversary.

Thank you for listing with us! If you have any questions or comments about our services or website, please drop us a line using the Contact Us page. We'd love to hear from you.
