For Rent® Announces New Identity as For Rent Media Solutions

For Rent Media Solutions offers the Multi-Housing industry multiple solutions for their multiple marketing needs.

 

Norfolk, VA—(October 6, 2006) – For Rent®, a division of Dominion Enterprises, a leading apartment resource for searching apartment communities nationwide, has evolved into For Rent Media Solutions to further accommodate the wide variety of marketing needs for the Multi-Housing industry.

 

“Since the launch of For Rent Magazine® in 1982, For Rent has grown to 63 For Rent publications, 13 Para Rentarpublications, six Senior Outlookpublications, five websites and most recently two Condominium publications,” says Terry Slattery, vice president and general manager of For Rent Media Solutions. “For Rent has taken the next step in the growth and development of our company, by evolving into For Rent Media Solutions. The name For Rent Media Solutions was chosen to reflect the superior service clients receive from a company that offers an entire suite of products and customer service that are unmatched in the industry.”

 

For Rent Media Solutions appeals to the needs of apartment seekers searching for traditional multi-family housing as well as senior and corporate housing. Para Rentar was recently added to appeal to the needs of our Spanish-speaking prospects.

 

The launch comes right on the heels of the much anticipated formation of Dominion Enterprises, the new parent company of For Rent Media Solutions.  Dominion Enterprises was established on September 12, 2006 as a result of the completed transaction dividing the assets of its predecessor company, Trader Publishing Company, between 50-50 co-owners Landmark Communications, Inc., and Cox Enterprises.  The transaction gave Landmark 100 percent ownership of the media and information service properties in the real estate, employment, recreation and industrial categories.  Landmark's assets now form Dominion Enterprises.

 

“The change to the name For Rent Media Solutions represents the many ways we bring apartment communities and potential residents together,” says Jack Ross, senior vice president of Dominion Advertising Media.  “We have multiple ways to assist our customers, and we are reaching diverse consumers through our growing array of products and services.”   

 

For Rent Media Solutions provides a broad array of products to fulfill the multiple marketing needs of the Multi-Housing industry.  Apartment seekers and property managers interested in learning more should visit the For Rent Media Solutions website.
