Resite Online announces expansion of SMS and mobile website applications for the multi-family industry

NORFOLK, VA (April 28, 2010) – Resite Online, a division of Dominion Enterprises and the nation’s premier provider of award-winning websites and resident-retaining portals, has announced the expansion of its mobile communication and website services. Resite’s comprehensive suite of custom mobile websites and leasing and retention tools enables apartment communities to take advantage of the mobile industry’s growth trend.

Resite Online’s mobile applications allow community staff and marketing teams to communicate specials, events, community emergencies and more. Resite’s mobile websites and SMS messaging services act as a mobilized leasing tool, easily capturing prospect information and enabling leasing teams to respond via text or email. The expanded system feeds data from the community’s traditional website to ensure the mobile information is always up-to-date without redundant effort. Resite’s mobile applications encompass a wide variety of marketing and retention tools including: customized mobile websites; send-to-friend; click-to-call; short-code; keyword texting; text-to-residents; text-to-email; directions-to-phone; comprehensive reporting and more!

Globally, mobile data traffic will double every year through 2012, increasing 66 times between 2008 and 2013, according to Cisco. According to a new forecast by Gartner, mobile phones will overtake PC’s as the most common Web access devices worldwide by 2013.

“Our mobile application was designed with the ultimate goals of communication and leasing in mind,” said Laura Trussell, General Manager of Resite Online. “Assisting our clients and partners with tools that increase leases and provide better ways to communicate with prospects and residents is a vital service we are proud to offer.”

Our Websites Work Hard, So You Can Rest Easy

There is a paradigm shift taking place in the apartment industry, driven by the convergence of Internet based technologies and the changing expectations of renters and residents about the role of the Internet in their day to day lives. This shift in renter and resident expectations is having a direct impact on the processes and tools apartment owners and managers will need to use to acquire, activate and service current and future apartment residents.

Resite Online’s focus, and our business mission, is to build, deliver and support web-based applications that enable property management organizations to effectively meet the demands of the new renter. These renter demands must be met in a way that effectively allows the property management company to operate in the electronic, Internet based environment these renters and residents will use to transact and receive services.

These services are delivered primarily through four web-based platforms:
•    MarketingWebsites – custom and template website designs for apartment communities and management companies with built-in content management system, mobile websites, and text solutions.
•    LeasingPath – online guestcards, lease applications with online payment of application fees and deposits, credit screening and BlueMoon integration.
•    ResidentHub – resident portal with flexible online rent payment solutions, maintenance requests, utility connection, renters insurance sign-up, property management software integrations, and more.
•    Search Engine Strategies – pay-per-click (PPC), social media optimization (SMO), search engine optimization (SEO), and local search engine marketing.

Resite Online, ePremium unite for quick and easy renters insurance enrollment

NORFOLK, VA (April 1, 2010) – Resite Online, a division of Dominion Enterprises, has announced a strategic partnership with ePremium.

The two companies have developed and launched the software integration between Resite’s ResidentHubTM portal and ePremium’s renters insurance enrollment platform. The Resite portal provides apartment residents access to a variety of interactive services such as: online rent payment, instant maintenance request submission, and access to community news and event information. The partnership now allows ResidentHub portal users to quickly and easily enroll in an affordable, non-underwritten renter’s insurance policy in less than 2 minutes.

New and existing residents at apartment communities utilizing the Resite platform are pre-approved for enrollment in the ePremiumRENTERS insurance program at fixed premium rates. Acceptance into the ePremium program is guaranteed for ResidentHub users. This guaranteed acceptance along with the streamlined enrollment interface will help Resite property management clients increase resident renters’ insurance participation throughout their portfolios. Higher resident participation leads to increased protection for landlords from resident-caused property damage.

“Property owners understand the positive impact that high renters insurance participation can have on operating results” said Chad Scott, president of ePremium. “The traditional manual application process has always been an obstacle to new resident enrollment. We are confident that the availability of this integrated enrollment tool will help drive renters insurance participation throughout Resite partner communities.”

Additionally, ePremium’s IRIS software application offers detailed tracking and monitoring capabilities that provide property owners complete vision into their community’s renters insurance participation statistics and policy details. This solution will be available to Resite property management clients at no charge to help manage and enforce their renters insurance policies.

“We are excited to offer this new program to our clients and their residents, and continue to remain in the forefront of innovative solutions which help our partner management companies succeed in building strong resident relationships while optimizing their business operations,” says Laura Trussell, general manager of Resite Online. “Our new partnership is another building block in our continued commitment to supporting our clients’ businesses.”
