We think our growth and continued strength verify that what we do works for the timeshare owner and the timeshare industry.”

However, they routinely make a business synopsis available to provide the timeshare industry and people who want to buy, rent, or sell timeshare with updated information about the company’s business. Their July 2009 Business Synopsis shows continued growth in all areas of business with the strongest gains being in timeshare rentals.

SellMyTimeshareNOW.com provides internet advertising and marketing solutions for timeshare owners who seek to sell timeshare or rent timeshare. In addition, the company also offers success-based brokerage services through Timeshare Broker Services.

Sell My Timeshare NOW, a leader in the advertising and marketing of timeshare resales and timeshare rentals, is ramping up its social marketing commitment, providing more outlets for consumer interaction through widely available, internet-based relational media. Already using Twitter, blogging on its popular corporate blog The Timeshare Authority, and interacting with the marketplace through the SellMyTimeshareNOW Forum, the company will soon launch a Facebook fan site, as it continues to expand its social media presence.

CEO and founder Jason Tremblay says, “Sell My Timeshare NOW has always led the industry in using cutting-edge internet marketing strategies to create maximum visibility for timeshare owners who want to sell or rent timeshare. We take the same forward-thinking approach to social media marketing, using it to expand our relationships with timeshare buyers, renters, sellers and everyone who wants to know more about enjoying timeshare vacations.”

Sell My Timeshare NOW utilizes Twitter as a way to update consumers about timeshare resale and timeshare rental opportunities and offer personable insights about timeshare and vacation ownership. The company tweets here: @JasonTremblay_; @VacationHotDeal; and @SteveLuba.

Sell My Timeshare NOW’s blog, The Timeshare Authority, was one of the first publications to serve both timeshare owners and the timeshare industry. Tremblay explains, “When we started writing The Timeshare Authority blog nearly five years ago, many people really didn’t understand what a blog was or why we were going to the trouble of doing it. Now we publish Monday through Saturday and have thousands of readers each week.”

The company’s Forum is an online discussion board that provides consumers a place to interact with Sell My Timeshare NOW and with each other regarding timeshare ownership, selling or renting timeshare, or buying timeshare resales. Director of Communications Steve Luba says that although some timeshare companies maintain websites, these sites are limiting because they do not look at the industry as a whole. Today’s timeshare resale buyer or timeshare renter wants to know the bigger picture and to be able to compare options and make decision that are best for the way he and his family vacation. Sell My Timeshare NOW is committed to expanding its consumer education and communication, seeking to fill the need for timely, meaningful industry-wide timeshare news and updates.

The National Timeshare Owners Association, a consumer protection organization for timeshare owners, has endorsed the timeshare advertising company, Sell My Timeshare NOW.
 
As the largest timeshare owners association in the country, the National Timeshare Owners Association, NTOA, acts in the interest of timeshare owners. Ed Hastry, founder and CEO of NTOA, says, “Our organization’s goal is to offer consumers every facet of information they need regarding timeshares. The National Timeshare Owners Association is enthusiastic about recommending Sell My Timeshare NOW with its full menu of services and proven record of reliability as a resource for all timeshare owners.”
 
Sell My Timeshare NOW, the global leader in the online advertising and marketing of timeshare resales and rentals, offers a range of support services for timeshare owners including no-upfront-fee broker resales through its brokerage arm, Timeshare Brokerage Services, timeshare rental assistance through its rental services division, and for-sale-by-owner advertising options.
CEO Jason Tremblay, says, “Endorsement by the National Timeshare Owners Association is one more verification to consumers that Sell My Timeshare NOW is the timeshare company they can turn to for customer-centered service when they want to buy, rent, or sell timeshare.”
 
Twelve years ago, recognizing that timeshare owners had very few resources to which to turn for guidance and information, Hastry founded first the Maryland Timeshare Association and then the National Timeshare Owners Association. Today, with members from coast to coast, NTOA serves as a clearinghouse for accurate, reliable timeshare information, as well as providing a range of meaningful timeshare owner benefits including discounts, timeshare exchange, insurances, and other members-only services.
 
As part of the NTOA commitment to consumer education, the association is hosting a series of timeshare information conferences to be held in Venice, FL (March 29); Baltimore, MD (April 19); Parker, CO (May 17); Cherry Hill, NJ (Sept 27); and San Diego, CA (October 18). Featured at the April event, which is part of the NTOA National Convention, Jason Tremblay will speak about the state of the timeshare resale market and the importance of the internet in today’s marketplace.
