how to target insurance claims customers?

[Ryan Daulton]

How could I target insurance claims tenants for my MTR?  For example, would I call the area home insurance companies to notify them of the available rooms?  Or something more creative?

You need to build relationships with corporations. This takes TIME. Lots of TIME and lots of continuous outreach. It is a lot of traditional sales.

Go on the websites of Sirva, Sedgewick, ALE, CRS, and others and submit your housing to them. That is a good first step. Secondly, make sure your units are available on traditional rental sites such as Furnished Finder, Airbnb, Zillow, etc. - These are the two channels where these companies will seek out listings for their housing requests.

Longer term you should be networking with businesses in the area that are known for having housing needs for their employees.

 There website and technology need a revamp. Lots of people have these issues. Try a different browser or refresh your cache. But nonetheless, this is not surprising.

I tried all 3 browsers; all gave me the same error.

First make sure you're listing on the usual sites since the relocation companies that insurance companies outsource to will use these to find housing. Airbnb and Furnished Finder work the best for us.

Next, some relocation companies allow you to submit your property to their database on their website. CRS and ALE Solutions are some of the bigger players and have that option.

Also, there are small business forming that focus on building relationships with these companies and sourcing bookings for your property for a referral fee. That can be worthwhile if you don't want to or can't spend the time to build those relationships yourself. Also they have the leverage that you won't if you only have 1 MTR.
