One of the main questions this year has been the rapid increase in positive media focus around fractional ownership products, in particular property related. There are however, many views on where this product sits in relation to a wider industry, is it a traditional property product, or part of the shared ownership industry – as both styles exist, how will this be translated to consumers, who have heard the term fractional ownership but as yet are widely uneducated about its benefits.

Owners Perspective Magazine’s print and online educational and research platform is revolutionizing traditional lead generation methods for developers by putting the consumer in the driving seat, spending anything from several minutes to several months, perhaps even years to educate themselves at their own pace in what they are looking for from a vacation home or vacation product, rather than being sold to. Then when the consumer chooses to contact the developer / advertiser that are selling a specific product, it is because that consumer is ready and wants to discuss a potential purchase at that development.
