Vacation Rental Directory Rentalo.com Introduces EZ Calling

Vacation rental and hotel owners who want more bookings will appreciate Rentalo.com's newest feature, the EZ Calling service. In an ongoing effort to close the gap between vacation rental seekers and property owners, the online lodging directory has launched a cutting-edge telephone technology that allows travelers to directly connect with property owners and managers through the click of a button embedded in their vacation property listing.

The EZ Calling service also provides a toll-free extension for travelers to dial, as well as an Inquiry-to-Phone feature, which allows owners to receive instant inquiry messages whenever a traveler calls.

According to a study by TMP Directional Marketing and comScore, the two most common activities following an online local search are a visit or a phone call to a local store; and calls from travelers result in more bookings than e-mail inquiries. The goal of EZ Calling is to enhance and facilitate the vacation rentals online booking process. Fast telephone communication between travelers and property owners will get questions answered immediately and give travelers the confidence they need to complete their booking. Owners, in turn, by supporting, securing and converting online prospects, will significantly increase their bookings.

"We understand that timeliness and alternative communication channels increase the chances of booking a property," says Rentalo president Alfredo Purrinos, "Rentalo's EZ Calling will increase online revenue, reduce website abandonment and dramatically boost lead-to-booking conversions."

Visit http://rentalo.com/ezcalling.html or contact Rentalo's customer service at 1-877-710-5914 to learn more about the benefits of this exciting new service. Property owners with active subscriptions who sign up during EZ Calling's introductory period will get additional credit for free.
