Brazilian Rental Car Blog Celebrates Third Anniversary
EuroIT Technology’s Blog das Locadoras (“Rental Blog”), which covers Brazil’s car rental industry, celebrates its third anniversary and plans to feature rental companies looking to expand to Brazil.
EuroIT Technology’s Blog das Locadoras (“Rental Blog”), which covers Brazil’s car rental industry, celebrates its third anniversary with 8,000 subscribers and 2,500 rental companies, according to the company.
Within three years of its launch, the blog reaches almost 99% of the industry in Brazil with daily news updates and two weekly newsletters, according to Euro IT. News stories cover the rental industry, auto manufacturers, car rental history, entrepreneurship, suppliers and technology.
EuroIT Technology, one of the largest technology companies devoted exclusively to the car rental market in Brazil, currently has more than 600 car rental company customers.
This year, the blog has plans to feature rental companies looking to expand to Brazil. The blog will have an area for these companies to advertise their products or post job openings.
“Brazil is in a very particular moment, and we know that there are a lot of companies looking for this market,” says Julian Gritsch, CEO of EuroIT. “We are opening the doors to help the companies that want to expand in our country, mainly with two big events — the World Cup this year and the Olympics in 2016.”
