The benefits of a web base retail leasing software:

What do you supposes is the most important thing to look at when choosing retail leasing software? Some might say it’s the ease of use or the pricing plans but I don’t think so. I believe it is getting the contact information of the possible tenant and how accurate that information is. After all, you can have online leasing software that is dirt cheap but if it doesn’t offer you solid leads for future renters then you are still overpaying. The same goes for ease of use. I will not use retail leasing software that doesn’t generate results regardless of how easy it would be to do. So, if you want to find retail tenants with online software, then there are a few pieces of information to look for:

  • What state does the software cover and is there an additional price to add more states?
  • What type of facility is the prospect looking for? If they have a restaurant then they would be more likely to want a stand alone building in a anchor stores parking lot rather than a space in a strip mall between two pawn shops. It is all about location after all.
  • What square footage does the prospect need? This is one of the most important search terms since it can weed out all of the renters that would not apply to your situation.
  • Who are the key decision makers and how can they be contacted? Do they supply their email address or phone number? This information is crucial. There is nothing worse than finding the perfect tenant to fit your needs but having absolutely no way to contact them.
  • What are the retailers expansion plans? If they plan on growing quickly then you may want to give them a space that allows for that future expansion. If you were to put them in too small a space with not option then you are setting yourself up to lose a tenant in a year or two.

 

These are all factors that you should look for in retail leasing software. It will also be a big help if the retail leasing software that you choose has emailing tied into the system. That way as you search and build your list of possible you are also building a mailing list. When you finish you can send a broadcast email to all of the people on your list with your marketing material attached. This feature alone with save you hours or even days of emailing depending on how big your prospect list is. Some of the better retail leasing solutions will even let you print out the prospects contact information on mailing labels to streamline the entire marketing process. Why not do some research and start using an online retail leasing solution today?

The easy way to lease your retail spaces!

With the recent downturn in our economy there are more and more retail spaces standing vacant. This is mainly because the people leasing the spaces cannot find viable renters nearby but how are they searching? Advertising your space for rent and running local advertising is just not enough anymore. If you want to fill that empty space you need to find retail tenants quickly and easily, the answer is retail leasing software. That is software that includes a searchable database of retailers actively searching for retail space in your area.

You need retail leasing software like Retail Lease Trac, which has been helping people find tenants since the early 1980’s. It started as books, became floppy disks and finally grew to be a fully searchable web application. You do not have to worry about downloading and installing complex programs that you may not have the technical knowledge to handle. It is all done right there in your web browser so you can access what you need wherever you can get a connection to the internet. It could not be easier to use.

The most important thing to look for when dealing with a retail leasing solution is the quality of the information provided. If the leads that you get are outdated or no longer interested then they are not worth paying a membership price. They need to be constantly checked and rechecked by the software company to ensure that you get your moneys worth. The people at Retail Lease Trac know that and guarantee that every leads is checked every 120 days by either phone or email.

It is one of the easiest retail leasing software on the market to use and understand. Since you do not download an application, you do not have to worry with an install or licensing concerns.
