Get Ready Rentals Opens in Six New Cities

Get Ready Rentals Opens in Six New Cities

Thanks to effective Internet marketing and steady business growth, the short term vacation apartment rental specialists, Get Ready Rentals, are ready to open in six new cities in Spain, Colombia and Western Europe in the coming months.

Barcelona, Spain (PRWEB) November 13, 2007

Since 2003, Get Ready Rentals have been offering self catering holiday apartments in Barcelona (http://www. barcelonahomes. net) to hundreds of happy customers, many of which, are now choosing apartments as their preferred choice of holiday accommodation.

But it's not just Barcelona where you can find affordable holiday accommodation with Get Ready Rentals. Following the early success in their first branch, the company began offering accommodation in Seville (http://www. getreadyseville. com) and Costa del sol apartment (http://www. getreadycostadelsol. com) in November 2006.

As Spain's popularity as a top destination in Europe continues to climb, Get Ready are preparing to capitalise on their rapid growth and experience and have all major cities in Spain covered, starting in the coming months with apartments in Granada (http://www. getreadygranada. com), Valencia and Madrid.

Gaizka Pujana, owner and operations manager, attributes a lot of his success to his established brand and effective Internet Marketing. In order to locate potential city locations for business expansion, he puts his resources into Search Engine Optimisation, optimises for several locations ahead of time, and lets the owners come to him.

"I was approached by several property owners looking for someone to manage the rental of their apartment in Valencia (http://www. getreadyvalencia. com)", he says. "After having found my sites through Google and traced my brand back to Barcelona where we are currently managing over fifteen apartments, right away they can see the potential for their own properties based on the success we've had so far" he explains.

Apartments in Madrid (http://www. getreadymadrid. com) is next on the radar with a high level of interest already from investors looking for a property manager with experience in the industry and the knowledge and capability to successfully market their apartments and secure bookings. Pujana meets both criteria, and understands the importance of working closely with the owners for healthy business growth.

"We offer a choice in the level of service we provide to apartment owners" he says. "Some choose to leave everything to us: the marketing, booking management, the cleaning, the check-ins... but others prefer to interface directly with their customers themselves, deal with their own cleaning staff, etc but need help marketing their apartment and securing bookings. We offer both options", he says.

Outside of Spain it's the same story. The Get Ready Rentals websites in Colombia are also attracting plenty of attention. People searching for bogota hotel (http://www. getreadybogota. com) will soon be able to choose from a range of apartments and hotels who have approached Get Ready Rentals to represent them.

"We have had the sites in these cities populated and ready to go for some time now" explains Pujana. "As well as the apartments, we have relevant links and well-researched travel information to help visitors plan their stay - from information about the local airport to sites and attractions in Bogota they can visit while they are there. The site is ranked well as a result of this careful preparation, so we get a lot of hits and interest from both apartment owners and prospective clients looking for holiday accommodation."

Get Ready Rentals also offers its clients live online chat support, location information about the area each apartment is in, a description of the features of each apartment, professional photographs of the accommodation and a secure online payment system, in three languages.

"Clients love it when they find information in their own language and the booking system is easy. On all Get Ready Rentals sites, visitors can book online at any time of the day or night they like. They are sent an instant email confirmation of their booking immediately, their deposit is paid and that's all they have to do until they arrive at the apartment" says Pujana.

Whats next for Get Ready Rentals? Western Europe. Next year, holidaymakers will be able to search for Amsterdam apartment rental (http://www. getreadyrentals. com) and accommodation in Nice (http://www. getreadynice. com), each with their own individual site and relevant travel information.

All individual city sites can be accessed now under the Get Ready Rentals parent site at www. getreadyrentals. com. Prices start from at 70 euros per couple per night.
