Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- Did you know that almost sixty percent of all online rental housing search activity is done outside of normal business hours? And that over one third of all rental housing search activity is performed on a mobile device?

These are just some of the eye-opening learnings shared by ShowMojo, the pioneer in online scheduling and prospect nurturing, after the company analyzed the data it had collected from the 2013 summer rental season.

The study, titled "The 24/7, Mobile Rental Search Culture", details a rental industry that is ever-moving. The study delves past search and into appointment scheduling behaviors.

Some of the more surprising findings include:

  • Approximately 52% of prospective renters submit their showing appointments outside of regular business hours (when the landlord or property manager has a service like ShowMojo to provide this capability).
  • Prospects submit showing appointments on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) 30% of the time.
  • Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) are used 70% of the time for post-scheduling activity such as responding to confirmation requests.
