NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2003 -- Monstermoving.com, an online source of relocation information, has launched the Monstermoving.com Utility Connection Center.
Monstermoving.com site visitors are now able to connect critical household services prior to moving into a new home. This new service gives utility providers a new marketing tool for reaching the hard-to-target relocation market.
The Monstermoving.com Utility Connection Center provides a free and convenient way to set-up or transfer utilities including local, long distance and wireless phone service; cable and satellite television; Internet services; gas and electric.
Packaging vital home connections into a single, easy to use online tool, Monstermoving is helping people on the move more efficiently manage an otherwise time-consuming process. Site visitors take advantage of this new offering by simply logging onto the Monstermoving Utility Center, where they are given direct access to local utility service providers, allowing them to research options and choose services that best meet their needs.
Recent "Do Not Call" legislation has made it increasingly difficult for telephone, wireless and cable providers to reach prospective customers. The Monstermoving Utility Connection Center provides an effective alternative for utility providers accustomed to conventional telemarketing. Through an online listing on the Monstermoving Utility Connection Center, utility providers can reach a highly targeted audience of moving consumers at the point when they are making key utility buying decisions. By helping providers reach this important market, the Monstermoving Utility Connection Center will serve as a valuable customer acquisition and retention tool.
"The Utility Connection Center is a perfect complement to Monstermoving's comprehensive relocation services offering, supporting our commitment to save our site visitors time, money, and reduce the stress associated with moving," said Pete Lamson, Chief Operating Officer, Monstermoving.com. "The process of transferring utilities is very time consuming. Through this service, customers can complete these complicated tasks online, in a matter of minutes."
