Escapia Completes 2008 with Record Results
After breaking records each quarter of 2008, Escapia finishes the year strong
with doubled sales over the same period the year before.
SEATTLE – January 15, 2009 – Escapia Inc., (www.escapia.com), the #1 provider of web-based management and marketing solutions for vacation rental managers, announced record-breaking results from 2008, more than doubling sales from the year before.
Sales of Escapia vacation rental software soared in 2008. Sales records were set in each quarter throughout the year, leading to an overall doubling of sales over 2007 both in sales revenue and the number of companies adopting the Escapia system. “It is incredibly gratifying to see more and more vacation rental managers benefit by adopting our solutions,” said John J. Suzuki, Escapia’s Vice President of Sales. “Our record sales enabled us to invest in launching a record number of new features in our software that were rolled out throughout the year. And, of course, those features led to record sales. It’s the perfect symbiotic relationship.”
In addition to its record-breaking software sales, Escapia experienced high growth in other areas of its business as well. ClearStay.com, Escapia’s vacation rental site for consumers, experienced record growth in both traffic to the site, and online bookings made on the site, and growth in Escapia’s network of online booking partners also broke records, bringing aboard more new partners in 2008 than all previous years combined. “2008 was an incredibly exciting year at Escapia, and the unprecedented growth we experienced throughout the year further demonstrates Escapia’s leadership in vacation rental management software and marketing solutions,” commented Bill Furlong, CEO of Escapia. “We are looking forward to helping more and more vacation rental companies not only survive this recession, but thrive in 2009.”
