    Looking forward to the next 12 months ahead, you can feel the energy lifting in the market place, and things are starting to buzz again. or maybe it’s the distant ring of the vuvulela’s I’m still hearing :)

    Dirk Wilson posted on the forum topic Do You Use YouTube for Shared-Ownership Marketing? in the group Group logo of Internet Marketing & Social MediaInternet Marketing & Social Media: 1 year, 10 months ago

    Yes, I view online video content as a very effective and cost efficient way of delivering promotional or educational ‘messages’ to readers / viewers. And further believe the emergence of internet and video is the biggest breakthrough in on-line marketing for some time. 3 key benefits of creating on-line content: 1. You get to cram [...]

    Dirk Wilson posted on the forum topic Is The Property Market In Europe Starting To Lose Interest In Fractional Ownership? #FACEBOOK in the group Group logo of Fractional Ownership ForumFractional Ownership: 1 year, 11 months ago

    Another point is that over the past 12 to 24 months there has been a major draw back in the amount of new fractional ownership projects coming on-line, as well as a flow of players out of the industry (due to lack of sales). the combination of these two is that there really hasn’t been [...]

    Dirk Wilson posted on the forum topic Is The Property Market In Europe Starting To Lose Interest In Fractional Ownership? #FACEBOOK in the group Group logo of Fractional Ownership ForumFractional Ownership: 1 year, 11 months ago

    Personally i think that consumers intent and financial constraints will have a major influence on future projects for leisure and hospitality developers. These developers are also looking for ways to sell more mixed use products, and in some cases increase the number of people visiting their resorts in order to stimulate on site trade at [...]

    The recent post from RDO’s Chairman ‘Fractional Ownership is Timeshare in Disguise’ can only support the desperate need that the global regulatory bodies must collectively work together to clearly define each of the Shared Vacation Ownership products – this way we can all direct our positive energy into marketing our respective sectors rather…[Read more]

    Found these comments from RDO very interesting:

    “In essence there is little difference between timeshare and factional other than a fractional purchase is usually of a longer usage period each year, although owning a fractional may include owning a share in the legal title whereas timeshare does not. Both are within the same laws and…[Read more]

    I have been asking the some of the fractional ownership sales agencies here in South Africa how their resale’s are doing – I was surprised to hear that despite the economy over the past 12 to 18 months many owners were actually selling their fractional shares for more than they paid for them. Is this [...]

    Well summarised @admin – fractional promoters could do with using some of the honourable and correct direct selling principals used by the timeshare promoters over the past years – these include on-site sales staff, fly-buys and sales platforms. I believe the internet is still very underutilized by the entire shared vacation ownership industry…[Read more]

    In my view fractional ownership is professionally managed ‘luxury leisure use asset’ with a limited number of co-owners – simple as that! The concept can be applied to real estate, boats, planes or cars. We all know that shared ownership of leisure use assets is not new – in fact sharing ‘bricks and mortar investments [...]
