BuyATimeshare.com’s primary focus is staying on top of new developments in the timeshare industry to provide better services for our customers. As part of our development, we sent our company Owner and Founder, Wes Kogelman, and Peter Emery, Director of Sales, to the CARE Conference this past month in San Diego.

The Cooperative Association of Resort Exchangers, or CARE, is a ‘trade association’ of timeshare resort representatives with a shared goal of providing their owners with more unlimited vacation opportunities. This group, established in 1985, provides member companies with the ability to utilize a vast inventory of rentals while adhering to a strict code of ethics.

The Keynote speaker at the CARE Conference focused on the use of social media, like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, to enhance and improve relationships with businesses and clients. BuyATimeshare.com can be found on Facebook, and often updates with industry information, company information, and discussion topics relating to timeshares and travel. The company also can be followed on Twitter, where we update with every new advertisement posted to our website, as well as other news. By utilizing these technologies, we connect with a greater audience of potential customers by implementing a live feed of available inventory, and also continue with our goal of providing the general public with accurate information and education about the timeshare industry.

During this conference, we also discovered an exciting new Merlin software called TRUST (Trading Resorts Using Sharing Technology) that we are looking forward to utilizing for the benefit of our customers. This initiative allows ‘shared ownership product’ developers and managers to build their resorts and inventory in a ‘virtual environment’ online. By applying the latest internet technologies, this information can be shared quickly and easily between users. Companies using Merlin TRUST will be able to swap inventory, rent or sell inventory, and generate more business seamlessly with this new platform.

BuyATimeshare.com is truly enthusiastic about this opportunity. By using this cost effective technology, we know we will increase our transactions and benefit our customers by expanding our network and streamlining our communications with our associations within the industry. The rental, resale, and brokerage consumers of BuyATimeshare.com will be greatly benefited by our industry connections. We look forward to using Merlin TRUST, social media technologies, and other developing technologies to continually improve our timeshare business and achieve superior services for our clients.
