FurnishedRentals.com launched new enhancements today.  The Furnished Rentals vacation rental by owner and manager site has always utilized Google maps technology to help travelers locate their next vacation getaway and now they are integrating Google Apps. 

Furnished Rentals preferred members can now post their Google Calendars and use Google Analytics to track results for their vacation rentals.  When Gmail users make their Google calendars public for their vacation homes and add the necessary info into their property profiles at Furnished Rentals the Google calendar will render in the listing.  In addition, owners and managers can add their unique Google Analytics user id to preferred listings to track visitor results.

 “Our team at FurnishedRentals.com utilizes Google Apps for development tools, customer communication, intercompany collaboration and more as we build the vacation rental map.  Many owners and managers currently use Gmail accounts and tools for their day to day vacation rental management and it is a natural fit to integrate the Google Calendars and Google Analytics functionality with FurnishedRentals.com” said John Foxworthy, company CEO.  “We are continually looking to stay in step with the social media and technology curve to offer our vacation rental owners and travelers the best tools to advertise, manage and find vacation homes.”

A preferred listing with 24 images, link to a personal vacation rental website, Twitter feed, Google Calendar embed, Google Analytics, YouTube embedded video, interactive mapped highlighted icon and new “top tier” list view placement is only $59 per year.  Similar vacation rental ads on other vrbo sites can be upwards of $500 per year.
