eircom Business today announced Carlow Property Management as the latest winner of Digital Boost. eircom’s Digital Boost initiative enables organisations to ‘boost’ their digital presence with a package worth €10,000 which includes a free business app, a free unlimited eMobile plan for 18 months, a Sony tablet and smartphone as well as mobile marketing and mobile strategy consultations with the Digital Boost expert panel.

Carlow Property Management provides a complete property service that allows landlords and tenants to have worry and hassle free lettings. The service provides property owners with suitable tenants for their properties eliminating the time consuming job of interviewing and selecting suitable occupants. Property owners can relax in the knowledge that the team at Carlow Property Management are experts in house letting.

Commenting on the win, Gary Disley, marketing director, eircom Business, said: “We are delighted to name Carlow Property Management as the fifth and penultimate winner of Digital Boost. A strong digital  presence is vital for those operating in the property industry and we are looking forward to working with Carlow Property Management to optimise its digital  and mobile strategy. This is our first winner from the property sector and we realise how important an optimised digital presence is in the sector so it is an exciting challenge for the team.”

Maura Fenlon, owner of Carlow Property Management, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won the Digital Boost competition. Being in the business that we are in digital is more important than ever and its importance is always growing. Sites like Daft.ie, Myhome.ie and our own website are essential in giving potential tenants and owners all the information they need. Information is paramount in our field. We are experts in a complicated field, with issues around PTSB rules and regulations, and we share our expertise with clients to make the process as easy as possible.

“We’re confident that winning the Digital Boost will literally be the brilliant ‘boost’ that we need. The benefits that an app will bring to our business will make huge differences in the way tenants and potential tenants interact with our company. Instead of phoning in rent and problems in properties, they will be able to pay their rent and report problems via the app which will free up time for us to grow other areas of the business. We have plans to branch out into surrounding counties including Laois, Kildare, Wicklow and Wexford and we’re confident that winning eircom’s Digital Boost will help us to fulfil these plans.”
