During the second quarter the Company continued to build its membership and brand by concentrating on adding new users further increasing market dominance in Western Canada. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, MLS® listed sales in British Columbia were up by 1.8% compared to the same period a year ago.
Mr. Parminder Virk, the interim CEO, stated, "Membership saw strong growth with the addition of 134 new member firms from Q2, Fiscal 2011 (ending December 31, 2010) and 75 new firms that came onboard from July 1, 2011 (beginning of Q1, Fiscal 2012). The Company launched the beta release of Connections and commenced its Let's Connect Marketing Campaign September 12, 2011. Econveyance Staff had been visiting old and new users in order to educate them on the advantages of the Connection feature prior to the closure of the campaign on November 23, 2011. This was the most successful campaign in the history of the Company and as at December 2011, over 50% of the firms had chosen to connect with each other. Also the members have shown their excitement with the new feature by sending approximately 1,000 invitations to non-members throughout western Canada.
The objective of Connections is to allow users to collaborate with each other so that both sides of the buy/sell transaction will be conducted within econveyance. Our records indicate that for all transactions conducted to date in fiscal 2012, the sell side transactions have increased to 29% which is a 4% increase from historical figures."
Ongoing administration and marketing procedure changes will allow Management to hold the line on expenses while focusing on further adoption in both British Columbia and Alberta.
