Contest Coming To A Close As Owners Perspective Magazine Celebrates Three-Year Anniversary

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Time is running out for shared ownership businesses to enter the contest for lucrative free advertising packages from timeshare and fractional ownership consumer publication Owners Perspective Magazine.

The magazine has been running the contest throughout July in celebration of its third anniversary, and shared ownership industry developers and suppliers can go to http://perspectivemagazine.com/birthday/ for details on how to enter the contest. The contest ends at the end of the week and winners of three valuable annual advertising packages worth $13,975 each will be announced on August 1st, 2011.

The package includes a half-page advertisement to appear in each quarterly issue of Owners Perspective Magazine over a 12-month period beginning with the October 2011 issue and also 12 months of premium banner advertising on www.ownersperspective.com.

“We have built a strong platform over the past three years, making sure that the balance between developers and consumers is just right and giving consumers a safe haven to self-educate, as the internet is so widely used for, without ending up on dozens of telemarketing call lists. We are giving developers the opportunity to be more transparent and benefit from direct enquiries to offers from a whole world of consumers who are actively looking at the benefits of timeshare or fractional ownership with a view to buying,” said Paul Mattimoe, president and CEO, Owners Perspective Magazine. "With the addition of a travel rewards club and Vacation Television; a 24/7 streaming internet TV channel due to launch before the end of this year, we are looking forward to dynamic growth over the next three years and beyond.”

With a conservatively estimated reach of 50,000 prospective buyers per edition, the magazine and its incredibly interactive online component are powerful educational tools for consumers to understand the benefits of vacation ownership.  

The magazine’s online resources keep readers up-to-date on news such as product changes, travel information, luxury real estate features and relevant industry information in-between issues of the print publication. Readers will find outstanding feature articles and timely reports on the magazine’s website at http://ownersperspective.com as well as the opportunity to engage fellow owners on its interactive online forum at http://ownersperspective.com/groups/.      

With over 11,000 followers to the magazine’s Twitter account and 10,000 “likes” to its Facebook Fan page, Owners Perspective Magazine is the only independent consumer publication in the vacation ownership industry with such a robust social media outreach program.
