Talk about success

Talk about being well worth it.  The long days and endless nights certainly were while we were at the PhoCusWright conference.  Did I say endless, I should have said sleepless.  What a time it was at the convention this week.  We launched our product, made many new friends, started several new relationships, went to a vast array of cocktail parties and dinner parties and shook about a thousand hands.  In the end we met with some of the heaviest hitters in the travel industry with unbelievable results.

Before we left for the conference there was a bit of trepidation and sweaty palms.  Now that it is nearly over it is apparent that it has been an unbelievable experience and a huge success.  During our presentation bloggers and travel critic as well as the press were just tweeting away talking about the need for our product and the utile nature of our UI.  The convenience of our product brought oh’s and ahs from many travel sources that until now could never monetize the space we fill.

So was our journey a success?  Absolutely!  Will our technology stand the test of time?  Indications are very good and hopes are high.  I for one believe that we have hit a home run and the ball is headed toward the wall and out of the park.  Come back soon and I will tell you what the plan for the New Year is going to shape up to look like.   It is a great time in history and a better time here at CheapLimoRates.com.

Why did we choose Cheaplimorates.com name?

Why did we choose CheapLimoRates.com name?  Was it to personify our industry as a taxi cab service?  No.  In fact, our reasons were exactly the opposite.  In order to give our consumers an incentive to search our site and give our Limousine Partners the greatest exposure, we searched thousands of travel search keywords that get consumers to click on a site.  The word Cheap is a word that gets people to take a look. There are thousands of consumers looking for great deals in the sagging economy and by listing your prices, right along with your competitors you are setting your prices based on your unused vehicles, your service levels and your scheduling needs. Because we focus on the unscheduled vehicle inventory and services you have sitting in the garage, you may be able to give the consumer a great deal. Our site is very market based, so what is a good deal in one area of the country, may not be in another.  You set your rates, we do not price control.  Your price your inventory based on what your local market can bear. If you are looking for goods and services and you see a website that says “prestigious limousines .com” and one that says CheapLimoRates.com which one are you going to click on first?  That is why we chose our name.

Limousine Services – Problem Solved!

If there is one thing that the limousine industry could use, it would be cohesiveness.  Our industry is so fragmented that you could ask a hundred different providers how this industry works and you would get a hundred different answers.  How does this industry work?  Why are we the ugly step sister of the travel industry?  If you don’t think we are, then ask yourself this; “Why are Hertz, Dollar, Avis, Budget and other rental car companies listed on almost every online travel site out there and we are not?  Why these companies are considered part of the travel industry as a whole and we are not?  The answer is simple.  There is no cohesive representation of our industry that could possibly compete in the travel industry as a whole.

Well until now.  CheapLimoRates.com has found the solution to this problem and after years of research and development we have built an innovative new technology that will revolutionize our industry.  Whether you are a small operator with three vehicles or a larger operator with fifty vehicles, we have all had the same problem.  We cannot market our vehicles to the masses in real time.  You know the deal.  The weekend is almost here and you have four of your ten cars unscheduled and you have no way to let the world know.  You can’t call Orbitz, you don’t know Expedia’s limo hotline number (that’s because there isn’t one!) and your cars are just going to sit there all weekend.

CheapLimoRates.com’s new technology will be a solution to that problem.  Our technology will give any limousine service within our system the ability to list their vehicles with pricing, including discounted pricing on excess inventory in real time. What does that mean for our Limousine Service Partners? It means that for the first time ever, you can let the public know that you have vehicles available and you are willing to give them a discount in order to get your vehicles booked today!

CheapLimoRates.com does not set your pricing, you do.  Our technology allows you to set your pricing, determine your discounts, show consumers where you operate, upload photos and videos of your company or fleet, respond to reviews directly with the consumer, give customers valuable airport information, and manage your overall content on the website.  All of these services are FREE!  There are no monthly, annual or registration fees whatsoever.  *The best part is that CheapLimoRates.com does not make money, unless you make money.

Simply go to www.cheaplimorates.com and click on the Limo Partners Join Now tab and fill out the simple application, read our Terms and Conditions and within 48 hours our experience Limousine Service Partner team will approve your application and allow you to upload your information into the system.  You do not have to be a computer wizard in order to input your company information, we have included comprehensive FAQ’s and video tutorials in order to help you navigate each and every function of the Limo Partner Portal. So go ahead log on and get started today!!

Innovation Finally Coming to the Limousine Industry

I was sitting in a meeting the other day and I got really excited when I realized that we were on the cusp of our alpha launch of our incredible new technology.  Soon Q&A and beta testing will be done and then it will be time for the launch of our new technology designed to revolutionize the limousine industry.  With our launch will come several very unique marketing efforts that is going to WOW the world.  I realized while sitting in that meeting that I was going to be a part of history.

Cheaplimorates.com will enter into the online comparison shopping and booking market with a unique business model that will give travelers and consumers a convenient on stop shopping opportunity in the chauffeured transportation market.  The truly exciting part is that consumers can shop for limousine services nationally by utilizing just one website that gives them in depth information on thousands of limousine services throughout the United States.  They will be able to see the limousine services inventory, customer rankings, traveler reviews and each company’s specials, terms, history and much more.

The consumer will no longer need to search dozens of static websites in order to find a suitable company to book their car service through.  Our powerful technology will allow them to find the services they need quickly and easily and have the benefit of convenience and outstanding customer service. Cheaplimorates.com will truly make the chore of finding chauffeured transportation a simple and enjoyable experience.

Cheaplimorates.com is schedule to launch our innovative and powerful comparison shopping and booking engine on November 17, 2009.  Consumers will be excited to know that with the same ease that they book airline tickets and hotel rooms, they can now book sedan and limousine services.  Keep following our blog for more information.

Online Travel Industry…..Wouldn’t it be nice?

The online travel industry is a seven trillion dollar business worldwide.  It represents one of the largest industries in the world.  Even in the tumultuous economy, online travel is still growing, albeit not as fast has it had in recent years, but it is still a rapid growth industry.  With all of the options out there for online travel, no one can offer their upscale or business clientele the ability to with a click order a limousine or sedan service to either get them to or from the airport or take them from their hotel or place of business for a night on the town, or a business meeting or lunch.  Seven trillion dollars in travel dollars and that service does not exist with the click of a button…Well until now.

CheapLimoRates.com will provide our industry partners the opportunity to offer these services with the click of a button.  Our web 2.0 comparison shopping and booking engine website, the only one of its type currently, matches public with thousands of chauffeured transportation providers who are heavily discounting their rates just to book their excess vehicle inventory, a feat heretofore unheard of.  That of course was until our technology platform becomes available.  This powerful technology will give online airline travel, cruise and hotel sites the ability to offer their clientele a comparison shopping and automated booking capabilities directly to the limousine industry.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could offer your clients a service that has not been available until now?  Wouldn’t it be nice if you could add new revenue stream to your bottom line? If you want to know more contact us alan@cheaplimorates.com and we will work with you on a distribution partnership or some other form of partnership that will be beneficial for you and your clients.

Helping Limousine Industry to Survive and Prosper

Where are we headed as an industry?  I mean, with individual discretionary income dwindling quickly, rising gas prices, government spending run amok and businesses tightening their belts as never before, how are we as an industry going to survive?

As we built our technology platform CheapLimoRates.com, we imagined a site that would assist our limousine partners in strictly promoting their excess inventory.  However, as the tide turns on the industry, we now believe that our technology may be the only true salvation for those struggling companies.  You may say to yourself “Those words are a bit of bloviating.”  However, consider this.  With all of the tools available to anyone marketing their limousine company, there is absolutely no means or method to market their product in real time.

If your company is like a lot of companies around the U.S. your business is down from previous years.  Even major players like Savoya and LimoLink have felt the pinch and are cutting back staff.  So that being said, how you let the public know that you are willing to offer them your services at a reduced rate, without committing a whole lot of money to additional marketing?   That is where CheapLimoRates.com will become and invaluable partner in your marketing efforts.  Our web 2.0 supplier admin portal will let you market you products on a minute by minute basis in real time to potential clients, which will assist you in getting your vehicles out of the garage and on the road.  This will be the only venue by which struggling companies will be able to market in such a way.

Yes, it may become true that in the very near future, what the industry needs most, will be offered in the nick of time.  Keep following this writer’s blogs for additional information.
