Move.com and MyNewPlace.com latest additions to VaultWare Content Management

Effective March 31, 2011, in addition to keeping rents and availability automatically updated, properties utilizing the VaultWare Content Management System will also be able to easily manage the marketing information that appears on their Move.com and MyNewPlace.com listings.

The VaultWare CMS, an opt-in feature included with the VaultWare Apartment Reservation System, gives you a centralized interface for storing, updating and distributing your property marketing content online. Update your ad copy, photos, amenities and more within the VaultWare CMS and your numerous online ads are automatically updated. Making just one change gives you maximum efficiency, accuracy and consistency.

VaultWare's CMS works with the following Internet Listing Services:

If you are already using the VaultWare CMS to update any of the above marketing sources and you have Move.com and/or MyNewPlace.com selected on the "ILS Selection" page, then VaultWare will begin updating your ad content on Move.com and/or MyNewPlace.com on March 31st.

If you aren't taking advantage of the VaultWare CMS, now is the time to load all of your marketing content into VaultWare! Open the VaultWare Control Panel and click on "Content Manager." Enter the appropriate content into each tab in the CMS. Once you are satisfied with the content you have entered, check the box next to "Distribute my content, including photos and images to participating ILS'" on the "Property" tab. We'll take it from there!

As a bonus, the same content stored in the VaultWare CMS can keep your property website, mobile website or leasing tablet updated as well. Contact us for details.
