Re: IBD-MARKETING . HAS ANYONE HEARD OF OR DEALT WITH THEM ? (by Toni W.):
When you pay an up-front fee,you’re paying for a service. The fee covers all your advertising & marketing, expenses, and legal paper work. You can always do this on your own. People can buy their own leads which are names of people for telemarketers to call and e-mail address. And you will pay for a long distance phone bill, also hire a title company to do a title search and deed exchange of your unit, and also keep in mind 90% of the people who buy timeshare will need financing, you’ll have to take care of that and it will cost you. By the time you find that buyer, you have to spend more time, money, and effort to sell your unit.
There are two types of companies in the resale market: Listing companies and marketing companies. The Differences are? Listing companies do just that! They list your property on the internet, classified ads, newspaper, magazines, ect,,, you may have well as put a for sale sign on the moon. The only ones who know it is for sale is you and the person you spoke to.
Marketing companies market your timeshare by calling timeshare owners at your resort asking them if they want to buy more weeks at a discounted price. We call people that took the timeshare tour and didn’t buy, these people are called tour no buys. We also E-mail people that are interested to buy or rent timeshare. Bottom-line we find people they do not find us. How did you buy your timeshare? Thru a newspaper, classified ad, internet? Or were you found by someone giving you a free gift to take a timeshare tour? Believe us that if the resort had waited for you and 98% of the people who bought timeshare to show up at the resort, they’d still be waiting. We don’t wait, we Find..
