Introducing Perspective Buyers Guide: The Global Database For Suppliers Of Products & Services To The Timeshare, Fractional, Shared Ownership & Hospitality Industry
August 17, 2008 by Perspective Magazine: Timeshare & Fractional News & Reviews ·
Perspective Magazine is pleased to announce completion of the re-branding of another of its products after a long two year journey.
Two Years In The Making
Originally started as the Timeshare Products and Services Directory two years ago and run as a back room project, it quickly became clear that an independent directory of suppliers was proving popular, and with growing numbers of listings and B2B searches exceeding 2,500 per month it was a project that needed more attention. For ARDA 2007 we threw together an example print version of the directory and had it distributed to around 4,000 delegates from whom we received some really positive feedback. But then after a series of tests we found the original web version to be easy to use, but not very quick or easy to search, and so we set about creating a newer, faster version of the directory which became the more recent
Timeshare Suppliers Guide, offering more functionality and a powerful search feature – a print version was planned for earlier this year also.
But then, a decision was made by Perspective International Ltd to re-brand its core products and services which would make them easier for both users and advertisers to understand and remember as the company continued to expand.
So the third and final version has been created and named Perspective Buyers Guide (www.perspectivebuyersguide.com), enabling the inclusion of not only timeshare related suppliers, but also those of fractional ownership, private residence clubs and any other hospitality related industry.
The Largest Of Its Kind
As with all of Perspective International’s publications, their independence exceeds the normal restrictions of any one particular association, organisation or membership database, enabling the directory to include any and all suppliers around the globe, making it the largest of its kind already with nearly 800 listings, yet in truth, it’s barely scratched the surface and is set to grow throughout 2009 now it has become a mainstream product.
A Global Resource
Naturally, the Perspective Buyers Guide is a useful day to day resource for developers, marketers and corporate buyers to find suppliers in their local area or region, even nationally – but where it really out performs all other directories is by providing global information. In a world of tremendous growth and newly emerging markets, the Perspective Buyers Guide provides companies expanding internationally with contact information for experienced suppliers in those new regions, making the planning and transitions easier, and increasing the potential of collaborations between developers and marketers.
Also Available In Print
Although the online version will be the most up-to-date version, there will also be a handy print edition published annually (or bi-annually if required) and distributed to the majority of resorts in active sales and sales centers worldwide as well as available to any individual industry professional. This print edition will be a welcome addition to any briefcase, or office desk of industry related buyers, developers and marketers as a quick reference guide.
It’s Free To Use & Free To List Your Company
In conjunction with Perspective Magazine, now the most read independent B2B publication globally for the timeshare and shared ownership industry, the use of Perspective Buyers Guide is free of charge and the listing of company details for suppliers, marketers and developers is also free of charge. The print editions are also available at no cost to industry related individuals and companies.
Digital Media – Stand Out From The Crowd
Although the listings in Perspective Buyers Guide are free, there is always a need or desire for some companies to really stand out from the crowd and so there are also Premium Advertiser packages available – these include additional contact details such as website link, company profile, additional fax numbers and email. Then, each Premium Advertiser receives a full page color advertisement in the print edition. This is repeated online with the option to really drive new business by also adding enquiry forms, downloadable brochures and even video to their listings. All of this is available for just $995 (£595) per year!
