ARDA Resale Forum To Include Timeshare Executive Wesley Kogelman

The CEO of online resale and rental advertiser BuyaTimeshare.com will moderate table discussion regarding timeshare advertising best practices.

2014-04-05

TAMPA, FL, April 05, 2014 (Press-News.org) BuyaTimeshare.com President and CEO Wesley Kogelman has been asked to participate as a table discussion facilitator during the Resale Forum as part of the ARDA World Convention.

Set to begin at 8:00am on Monday, April 7, 2014, the Resale Forum will be the first scheduled business session of the Convention, to be held April 7-10 at The Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The ARDA World Convention is the world's largest gathering of timeshare industry executives, with nearly 3,000 participants expected to attend and discuss trends and strategies important to the growth of the industry.

The theme of the Resale Forum is "Resale Best Practices Workshop" and is structured to identify best practices for the development of a comprehensive resale program at so-called legacy resorts, the vacation ownership resorts which are traditionally under the control of a home owners association and are no longer in active sales.

"ARDA statistics show that only 24 percent of these resorts have a resale program for owner inventory. Such a low percentage is not only detrimental to owners looking to sell their timeshare but also to a resort's ability to attract new owners to the resort," said Kogelman.

"We have been operating in the online resale space for 14 years and understand what it takes to market to today's Internet-based consumer, so I look forward to participating in the discussion," Kogelman added.

In 2013, BuyaTimeshare.com directed $103 million in confirmed buyer and rental offers to advertisers looking to sell and rent their units. The success of the company is directly related to online marketing strategies which position BuyaTimeshare.com to the forefront of searches for buyer-related terms that potential owners will enter when looking for vacation ownership products.

"The resale market is only getting stronger, with ARDA's own statistics showing that resales jumped from 17 percent to 32 percent of overall sales from 2010 to 2012. With many of these buyers using online outlets such as ours, we want to help develop a program that will be beneficial for these resorts in need of a resale solution," stated Kogelman.

2014-04-05

The medical story Most everyone has heard of, or knows someone with, cerebral palsy. But what, exactly, does this term refer to?

Tackling the war on skyrocketing student loans

2014-04-05

College students today face an array of hurdles when they graduate. Not only do they have to compete in a tough U.S. job market, but many have to figure out how to pay back their student loans. After graduation, the government gives students 6 months before they are required to pay back their loans on a 10 year repayment plan. In many cases, this amounts to a mortgage payment. Many students, unable to find a job or pay back such a high monthly payment, are forced into default--and further and further into debt. There are programs available to help borrowers struggling ...
