January 11, 2012 YELLOW7, Inc. "VacationList.com seeks to capture a portion of the $85 billion vacation rental industry by offering homeowners and renters an alternative experience." DALLAS --YELLOW7 (OTCQB:YLLC) announces the launch of VacationList.com - the latest user-friendly medium for vacation rentals. While offering a powerful portal for vacation homeowners and renters to exchange information and check for availability, VacationList.com joins the $85 billion vacation rental homes market (a) alongside other vacation rental home websites such as VRBO.com and HomeAway.com. "HomeAway operates the world's largest online marketplace in the vacation rental listings space," said Jason Burgess, CEO "Since our property owners can offer discounts and other incentives such as allowing shorter stays, added amenities like private swimming pools and spas, and pet-friendly facilities, a stay at a vacation rental home found on VacationList.com can offer more value to the consumer." HomeAway raised $216 million in an IPO in 2011 and currently trades around $24.00 per share with a market cap in the neighborhood of over $1 billion as of the date of this release (b). HomeAway reported $167.9 million in revenue for the period ending 12/31/10. Since launching in 2005, HomeAway has acquired 500,000 paid vacation rental listings. VacationList.com presents an easy to navigate, engaging yet simplistic website that provides a communication method for those seeking vacation rentals with homeowners and property managers seeking renters. VacationList.com provides property owners with ample room for a detailed description of the home, amenities, and area attractions. On the other side of the rental relationship, vacationers view VacationList's online vacation home search as a reliable resource for domestic travel in particular, especially those who desire greater flexibility, privacy, extra space, and a kitchen to help save on expensive restaurant bills and bar tabs. "We plan for renters to leave VacationList.com with the feeling that they've received a better value than they may receive through traditional reservations and stays," added Burgess. "Since our property owners can offer discounts and other incentives such as allowing shorter stays, added amenities like private swimming pools and spas, and pet-friendly facilities, a stay at a vacation rental home found on VacationList.com can offer more value to the consumer."
