For Rent Media Solutions Challenge Cup Raised $16,000 for
National Apartment Association Political Action Committee

Houston and Dallas multi-family housing professionals
teed off against each other for a good cause

NORFOLK, Va.-(June 20, 2007) - For Rent Media Solutions, a leading apartment resource for searching apartments for rent nationwide and a division of Dominion Enterprises, raised $16,000 for the National Apartment Association Political Action Committee (NAAPAC) during the 11th annual For Rent Media Solutions Challenge Cup golf tournament. Hosted by the Houston Apartment Association, the May 11 event was held at the Falls Resort, in New Ulm, Texas.

The For Rent Media Solutions Challenge Cup was developed in 1996 to support the NAAPAC, which strives to educate Congress about the needs and concerns of the multi-family housing industry. The event is hosted in alternate years by the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas and the Houston Apartment Association. Participants play on one of two teams, representing either Houston or Dallas. Houston took home this year’s trophy, evening the score from Dallas’s win in 2006.

“For Rent Media Solutions has been the title sponsor of this golf tournament since it was developed,” says Brock MacLean, vice president of national sales and development for For Rent Media Solutions, who participated in the tournament as a member of the Dallas team. “We are honored to be a major fundraiser for the NAA Political Action Committee and will continue to contribute to the committee to support its cause.”

The golf tournament is a major fundraiser for NAAPAC, which has received a total of $176,000 contributed through golfer registration fees, since the tournament began.

“Not only has For Rent Media Solutions generously put together this annual fundraiser,” says Irica Solomon, director of political affairs for the National Apartment Association, “but they continue to generate awareness and support for the issues facing the multi-family housing industry. Without involved organizations like For Rent Media Solutions, NAAPAC would not enjoy the strong existence it does today.”

The organization’s mission is to serve the interests of multifamily housing owners, managers, developers and suppliers and maintain a high level of professionalism in the multifamily housing industry.

For Rent Media SolutionsTM Launches the New ForRent.com® Website

Leading Apartment Listing Website redesigned to better accommodate apartment seekers and ForRent.com clients

NORFOLK, Va-(April 6, 2007) - For Rent Media Solutions, a leading apartment resource for finding apartment communities nationwide and a division of Dominion Enterprises, is proud to announce the launch of the much anticipated redesign of ForRent.com.

“For Rent Media Solutions has always brought innovative marketing solutions to the multi-housing industry,” says Terry Slattery, vice president and general manager of For Rent Media Solutions. “As the multi-housing industry changes, For Rent Media Solutions is evolving to meet the needs of customers and end users alike.”

The new site provides everyone from end-users to property managers and multifamily housing industry professionals with a comprehensive overview of the ForRent.com product, including current advertising information; press releases; and apartment listings. Still, like For Rent Magazine®, the site is both informative and accessible. In order to take our current online marketing efforts to the next level, For Rent enhanced the usability and site navigation as well as search engine optimization and link building. These changes were made with the intention of increasing our conversion rate to maximize the return on investment of our clients’ marketing dollars, as well as give a more modern and innovative experience to those who visit the new website.

Consumers can search for an apartment for rent by using the search function on the home page. For those who want a more defined search, the optional search criteria function allows apartment seekers to search by city area, beds/baths, rent range, apartment features and community features. End-users will be excited to know, the website is even more user-friendly than before. The site has also removed all pop-up windows in an effort to create a more enjoyable experience for the apartment seeker. When the end-user arrives at the “Apartment Search Results” pages, they will notice the “Refine Your Search” box is more prominent making it easier for apartment seekers to make changes such as price and location. They will no longer need to make these changes on another page because the box is conveniently located in the upper left hand corner.

ForRent.com clients will be happy to know that the new site has been redesigned using the PHP platform, an updated programming language that will help the site run more efficiently and allowing information to be updated quicker in areas like the administrative console and profile page. The site’s back end infrastructure has also been drastically improved to support the current load of information that is being shared by Property Management Companies customers, partners and other sources. By improving the database integrity, the site will continue to grow with our customer base for years to come.

“The database upgrade has allowed us to utilize a new reporting service component to produce reports that we believe cater to our clients needs,” says Amanda Hiller, general manager of ForRent.com. “Reporting features were redeveloped to enable our clients to take advantage of the ability to graph report data in a variety of chart types, save and export reports in various formats and schedule reporting and delivery to the end user.” The updated operating platform will allow ForRent.com to be more nimble in meeting the needs of clients and the end-user alike. Property managers will also find that the new reporting capabilities will provide them with more targeted results.

The new site features exciting tools such as Community TheaterTM and Roomplanner. Community Theater is a streaming video package that offers ForRent.com clients custom video for their community. Community Theater can be seen on the For Rent website as well as the management company’s site. The streaming video package also includes a professional voice over, production and editing, and a video e-mail brochure to send to prospects for follow up. Roomplanner is an exciting and interactive feature that lets the end-user design their virtual apartment before they decide to rent.

The ForRent.com website has also been search engine optimized, creating more opportunities for the site to be indexed by the search engines. In addition, this will increase customer acquisitions, conversion rates, retention, and improve our clients’ return on investment.

About ForRent.com®

As a product of For Rent Media Solutions, a division of Dominion Enterprises, ForRent.com offers more than 50,000 apartment community listings nationwide.
