Press Release
17 June, 2009

Accommodate Me is pleased to announce AVIS and Budget Rent A Car as strategic partners on the site.

"Securing two of the world's largest rental car companies as partners of Accommodate-Me.co.nz is fantastic", says Steve Davies, Publisher. "As our site continues to grow with listings every month, so does our reputation as being New Zealand's best boutique & luxury accommodation website."

AVIS New Zealand MD, Kathryn O'Neil said "She was delighted to associate their brand and new site to a partner like Accommodate Me".

Chris Destrieux, National Sales & Marketing Manager for Budget NZ said "Affordable, easy to understand deals are what folks need in such economic times! We still drive your dollar further".

As part of the deal, AVIS and Budget will be bringing some great offers and easy to book car deals to the site, extending the holiday experience from the bed to the road!

Properties listed on Accommodate Me will now also find it easier to view key statistics about their performance each month by checking out the new "Statistics Snapshot" section located on the foot of each page. Updated at the beginning of each month, statistic snapshots demonstrates how many times your listing, picture gallery and other media on your listing is being viewed.

Says Steve, "A key statistic that will surprise many property owners is how many potential tourists on our website refer properties to their friends."

Another feature just launched on the site is the addition of a "video wall". The video wall brings together in 1 place all accommodation videos listed on the site and many of the videos produced by Tourism NZ and Regional Tourism Boards.

"Outside what has been produced on YouTube video walls, I am not aware of any other local website that has compiled such a comprehensive list of video content into 1 place. We reckon this section is going to be extremely popular. If you are an accommodation owner and have invested in video, then you should consider getting it onto the video wall for maximum exposure" says Steve.

"In the coming months we look forward to making more announcements as we continue to innovate and implement our tourism strategy."
