Hilton Head Island, SC (PRWEB) March 4, 2011

Gerard Mahieu and Christine Damas, owners of Resort Rentals of Hilton Head Island, are pleased to announce their State-of-the-Art Integrated Vacation Rental Marketing Platform, implemented by PDC and built around the company's redeveloped website http://www.hhivacations.com.

"As with everything in this digital age, there is constant change and it was time for a facelift on our already highly-optimized website. With the recent popularity explosion of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and other social channels, it was the perfect time to incorporate the totally Integrated Social Media Marketing Platform developed by PDC into our marketing strategy" said Mark Westbrook, General Manager.

Gerard Mahieu adds, "The redeveloped website will better tell our story and be even easier for our guests and owners to navigate. Through our Social Media presence, our former and future guests have the opportunity to know our company better and we will have the ability to better serve their ever-growing vacation needs".

The already-established Resort Rentals of Hilton Head Island brand is benefiting now through company branded social channels on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa and Panoramio, complemented by innovative social interaction strategies through social contests hosted and integrated in the company's website.

Along with the vacation rental industry-standard features such as online availability-search and booking, dynamic photo galleries, online videos, and electronic brochures, the newly redeveloped website incorporates unique features like online promotional booking incentives using promotion codes. Online guest accounts allow vacation rental guests to check the status of their reservations and to access their reservation history, including payments, costs, or rental agreement status. Stand-alone social sharing tools and plug-ins have been implemented on every individual web page to help online visitors share the website's pages easily.

An entirely separate Rental Management section for property owners shopping for a management company has been created to cater to their needs, without disrupting their research with vacationer-oriented information and navigation items.

"We are very proud of our newest Vacation Rental Marketing products and extremely excited to see outstanding results just a few days after launch" said Richard Neste, Executive in Charge of PDC. "As always, our team of innovative, passionate internet marketers and web developers produced and executed a unique platform for the Vacation Rental Industry which benefits enormously not only the vacation rental management companies which choose to implement it, but also the guests, future guests, property owners, and ultimately the search engines, which react in a very positive manner to all the changes and features implemented and optimized, not only on the website but also on every branded channel of Resort Rentals of Hilton Head Island."

As the first company on Hilton Head Island who implemented Online Bookings on their website back in 2001, and the first company who marketed through the web to French-, German- and Spanish-speaking markets starting in 2007, Resort Rentals is again the first to embrace the most innovative Social Integrated Web Marketing Strategies available today.

Travel Deals 4:38 p.m. Friday, March 4, 2011

For the AJC

Everyone loves a BOGO deal, but it's rare when a Buy-One-Get-One offer for a one week vacation is up for grabs.

Wyndham Vacation Rentals offers just that when guests book five or more nights at a ResortQuest by Wyndham Vacation Rentals beach destination now through April 30 for travel by May 30. Upon completion of the qualified stay, guests will receive a complimentary seven night resort stay.

That free seven night vacation can be taken in Europe, Mexico, Australia, Asia, the Caribbean and the U.S. (subject to availability).

To qualify, the five night springtime beach getaway must be taken at a ResortQuest by Wyndham Vacation Rentals property on Florida's Emerald Coast, the Alabama Gulf Coast, along the beaches of Delaware, the islands just beyond Charleston, S.C. or at Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Hilton Head Island, S.C.

Sample weekly rates through March are as low as $434 in Gulf Shores, Ala.; from $455 in Panama City Beach; from $600 in Hilton Head and around $700 per week on Kiawah Island.

What a deal!
