Hello,
Let me first take a moment to thank you for being a member and taking a part in this journey with me and the TimeshareJuice Team to improve timeshare and vacation ownership for everyone. I know we can make a difference, we already have. This is going to be a tremendous ride. Thank you for being part of it and supporting it. It has been so much fun.
I have to name June “Global Month” for TimeshareJuice. Not only did our membership grow from countries all over the world (Malta, Korea, Israel, Thailand to name a few ) but our presence in the continent of Asia continues to grow. We are going to be featured in a prominent magazine from Korea with readership in China and Japan (anyone interested in being our correspondent in Beijing?). I won’t take the time to name all the press that is happening but we are pleased. Keep a lookout for us!
Let me review a few important items for the month:
1. Member Spotlight: I’d like to highlight a member that quickly rose up the charts: “Permajo”. Permajo reached 420 points at the time of this writing within a couple days of being a member. Way to go Permajo!
2. Some redesign: We are completely focused on creating the best user experience in the industry so we will continue to tweak things to make the site easier, simpler, and better.
* The home page now sports an improved look.
* The feature “Travel Agent” is now called “Alerts” which I think better defines what that is (it’s an alert to notify you of new availability at a resort). Try this feature out. You'll find it on every resort property. It's fun.
*Resort reviews can now be “liked” by you, the members, which will highlight the best reviews for us to read and showcase the highest quality reviews on the site.
*And you can now embed YouTube videos inside blog posts. That is an exciting feature as we have been asked by members if they can post their videos of vacations. This is going to be fun.
3. The numbers: Everything is up no matter how you slice and dice: Traffic, new members, new properties, reviews, offers and trades, and inviting are all up significantly. The only area that was down was new blog posts. But TimeshareJuice continues to grow very nicely. We are very pleased.
4. Update on resorts: We have been reaching out to resorts to let them know about us and what our mission is. Just this week we were contacted by a resort developer that we did not know. They want to join the TimeshareJuice community rather than be part of RCI or Interval. That is a big sign and incredibly exciting...and this is just beginning.
How can you help?
Call your resort and tell them about TimeshareJuice. Tell them you are using the site and ask them to come to the site. The more resorts and timeshare owners that use the site, the better it will be for all of us.
Once again, thank you for being a valued member. May there be a fantastic timeshare vacation in your near future!
Warmest Regards,
The TimeshareJuice Team
