Publishers of timeshare and fractional ownership trade and consumer magazines confirm new USA based editor as company continues to rapidly expand its global presence.

Perspective International Ltd first published their trade magazine in November 2005 and in just four years has grown to become the most read independent trade magazine for shared ownership globally, reaching more than 20,400 subscribers each month and positioning themselves as media sponsor at 18 major industry conventions worldwide including official distribution to all delegates.

After a short trial online whilst building circulation ahead of official launch, their sister publication for consumers launched in print in January 2009, yet aptly named Owners Perspective Magazine has already secured marketing deals with leading industry companies and distribution deals with UK supermarkets, selected hotels and resorts and has been chosen by British Airways for worldwide distribution in all of their first class airport lounges, and Virgin Atlantic, Emirates Airlines, American Airlines and BMI in Europe.

“We have found that our consistently rapid expansion through recent and ongoing sales and marketing efforts has created the need for additional support in our team and so we have been looking to bring in experienced professionals as part of our expansion strategy – Matt McDaniel who has been writing for us regularly for the past year or two already has the previous experience we need to take our publications even further and are extremely pleased to welcome him onboard.” Said Paul Mattimoe, CEO, Perspective International Ltd.

Matt began his career in publishing 20 years ago in Philadelphia. He moved to Miami in 1997 to work for Interval International, where he served as Vacation Industry Review editor-in-chief until 2005. While at Interval, Matt was integral to reinvigorating the look and readability of Vacation Industry Review, substantially enhancing its editorial content, and increasing its relevance to readers.

Matt left Interval to pursue other writing opportunities, most recently as an independent writer and PR consultant for companies within and outside the shared-ownership industry. Matt’s clients have included the American Resort Development Association, Disney Press, and Toronto’s National Post, as well as Interval and Perspective & Owners Perspective Magazines. Over the years, Matt has developed a rapport with timeshare, fractional, condo-hotel, exchange and finance professionals around the world.

“I am thrilled to join the Perspective International team,” said Matt. “Perspective Magazine and Owners Perspective Magazine have become the top independent shared-ownership trade and consumer magazines, respectively. I look forward to contributing to their continued success and growth.”

Matthew McDaniel can be reached at editor@perspectiveinternational.com and welcomes any feedback and suggestions for editorial content.

Tens of thousands of UK consumers have collected a copy of the new consumer publication this month that gives an independent overview of the leisure property and luxury travel market.

Owners Perspective Magazine (http://www.ownersperspective.com) which covers all aspects of fractional ownership, resort real estate, timeshare, vacation ownership and private residence clubs as well as all luxury travel and lifestyle topics was introduced to the general public this month via A Place In The Sun Live, the property show in Earls Court London and through the beginning of their distribution deal at leading Tesco & Sainsbury’s supermarkets across the UK.

Initial feedback from both sources confirms the desire for knowledge of varied property and vacation purchase options by the consumer and interaction with the magazine’s website more specifically identifies the growth in online research prior to deciding to purchase.

Through several other marketing deals already in place, extensive online and print marketing and reader referrals, Owners Perspective Magazine is creating a rapidly expanding, highly targeted, intelligent marketplace for developers, marketers and suppliers of the shared ownership industry.

Perspective International Ltd, the company that publishes Owners Perspective and Perspective Magazine (http://www.theperspectivemagazine.com) it’s older B2B counterpart are currently in negotiations with a number of developers for distribution via hotel rooms, resort accommodation and as a member benefit.
