YELLOW7 Enters $85 Billion Vacation Rental Market with VacationList.com
DALLAS --(Business Wire)--
YELLOW7 (OTCQB:YLLC) announces the launch of VacationList.com
- the latest user-friendly medium for vacation rentals. While offering a
powerful portal for vacation homeowners and renters to exchange
information and check for availability, VacationList.com joins the $85
billion vacation rental homes market (a) alongside other vacation rental
home websites such as VRBO.com and HomeAway.com. "HomeAway operates the
world's largest online marketplace in the vacation rental listings
space," said Jason Burgess, CEO YELLOW7, Inc. "VacationList.com
seeks to capture a portion of the $85 billion vacation rental industry
by offering homeowners and renters an alternative experience."
HomeAway raised $216 million in an IPO in 2011 and currently trades
around $24.00 per share with a market cap in the neighborhood of over $1
billion as of the date of this release (b). HomeAway reported $167.9
million in revenue for the period ending 12/31/10. Since launching in
2005, HomeAway has acquired 500,000 paid vacation rental listings.
VacationList.com presents an easy to navigate, engaging yet simplistic
website that provides a communication method for those seeking vacation
rentals with homeowners and property managers seeking renters.
VacationList.com provides property owners with ample room for a detailed
description of the home, amenities, and area attractions.
On the other side of the rental relationship, vacationers view
VacationList's online vacation
home search as a reliable reource for domestic travel in
particular, especially those who desire greater flexibility, privacy,
extra space, and a kitchen to help save on expensive restaurant bills
and bar tabs. "We plan for renters to leave VacationList.com with the
feeling that they've received a better value than they may receive
through traditional reservations and stays," added Burgess. "Since our
property owners can offer discounts and other incentives such as
allowing shorter stays, added amenities like private swimming pools and
spas, and pet-friendly facilities, a stay at a vacation rental home
found on VacationList.com can offer more value to the consumer."
YELLOW7 is an Internet Media Company operating multiple technology
marketplaces created based on market demand and profit potential.
YELLOW7, Inc. competes alongside companies like HomeAway (NASDAQ:
AWAY), IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI), Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN),
and LinkedIn (News - Alert) Corp. (NYSE: LNKD).
