Escapia Delivers Record Breaking First Quarter Results
SEATTLE – April 30, 2008 – Escapia, Inc., the #1 provider of online management and marketing solutions for vacation rentals, announced record breaking results for the first quarter of 2008, surpassing all records set in 2007.
Escapia software sales had a record-setting quarter with more vacation rental managers adopting the Escapia web hosted platform during the first quarter of 2008 than in all of 2007. The first quarter results also demonstrated the strength of Escapia’s consumer marketing business. Online bookings on Escapia’s booking network, EscapiaNET, grew at a monthly rate of over 70% the first quarter of 2008. And traffic on ClearStay.com, Escapia’s consumer vacation rental site, has surged ahead by more than 85% per month during the same period. “Escapia had outstanding results across all areas of our vacation rental products and services,” commented Bill Furlong, CEO of Escapia. “Surging sales extended our lead as the number one software platform used by vacation rental managers to market and manage their businesses. And our consumer site’s tremendous rise in traffic shows that travelers are also discovering that ClearStay.com (www.clearstay.com) offers the best booking experience available for renting a vacation home.”
