Escapia Adds Vacation Home Rentals to Family of Risk-Free Internet Marketing Sites for Advertising Vacation Rental Properties

SEATTLE – August 9, 2005 – Escapia, Inc., developers of the most technologically advanced, web-based on-demand software in the fast growing professional vacation rental management market, today announced an Internet Marketing Agreement with Vacation Home Rentals, Hoboken, New Jersey. Under the new agreement, Vacation Home Rentals will allow Escapia's vacation rental management customers to advertise their rental properties on Vacation Home Rentals' website with no upfront cost.

As with all their Internet Directory Partners, Escapia's agreement with Vacation Home Rentals eliminates the typical upfront costs associated with property listings on the internet. Pay-for-performance based, Escapia's vacation rental management customers are only required to pay for reservations originating from the Escapia Internet Directory Partner. If the listing on the Directory doesn't bring in new reservations, the cost to the vacation rental company is zero.

"It's an amazing win-win," said Josh Vall-Spinosa, director of business development at Escapia. "At the literal 'flip of a switch', via an XML feed, our clients instantly expand their marketing reach to multiple internet Vacation Directories, reaching multiple markets, without having to manage individual advertising relationships. The Directories, for their part, are excited because they don't have to hunt down these property managers themselves, and/or spend the development time integrating multiple feeds to multiple companies."
