Low Cost Marketing Alternatives
Sell my timeshare you say? There are many available methods for selling a timeshare. Though some of the lower cost methods aren’t quite as effective as some of the others, many of us don’t have the extra cash to spend. This article will address some of the options available to those on a tight budget (or those who want to keep more of the profit from their sale 
)
User’s Groups/Forums
Many user’s groups have forums and classified ad areas on their sites. These tend to be the most reasonable areas to advertise your timeshare for sale. These sites are also a great place to list timshare rentals. A lot of people who own timeshares are enthusiasts and the average enthusiast owns more than one timeshare property. Many of them join user’s groups in order to socialize with others who have the same passion. For this reason, these forums and their classified ad spaces are great places to advertise your timeshare for sale. Most only require that you register or become a member in order to advertise on their site. Most are free to register with. Others such as “The Timeshare User’s Group” charge a small fee to join. User’s groups or social sites specific to the timeshare industry are the best places to advertise.
Classified Ad Sites
Probably less effective but just as reasonably priced are various themed classified ad sites. There are thousands of places to list your ad for free. It might be a good idea to advertise in specific geographic areas known to vacation in the area of your timeshare property. This can also be done on a national or world wide site for more exposure. If you are going to do this type of advertising, it is suggested that you stick to sites which have relevancy to what you are trying to sell. For instance, a classified ad posted to a site where the theme is vacations or travel would be much more effective than one posted on a general classified add site.
Paid Advertising
The last method we will discuss, is not the most cost effective but it is still less expensive than paying a percentage of the sale to a broker. There are many companies, specifically in the business of marketing timeshares by web and various other methods. The fees range from reasonable to the ridiculous. We caution you not to get caught up in the sales pitch some companies will give you. There are a couple warning signs. One is the price. If their fee is in the hundreds of dollars range, be cautious. The salesman will tell you they are worth it but I can tell you from personal experience, that is not necessarily true. I paid over $500 once to advertise my timeshare on one of these sites. The sales pitch led me to believe I was paying a premium to get a quick sale and that their results would be fantastic. My timeshare still has not sold nearly 2 years later. I got only one inquiry from this add and they wanted to sell me their timeshare! This is not to say that some of these options aren’t legitimate or worth the fee. Just be careful before committing to anything with a large fee. Research the company on the Internet. Do a search looking for reviews and/or complaints. Check with the Better Business Bureau or your country’s equivalent. Lastly, if you are being pressured to close the deal it is probably not a good idea to proceed.
