A Question of Status: New Marketing Approaches in Luxury Real Estate

Nov 26, 2008

By Jean-Yves Piton While recently reading the November 2008 Overseas Property Professional magazine (OPP), I came across great and innovative ideas shared by Lawrence Hefler in the article titled “It’s all in the name.” Online marketing represents one key element of today’s marketing mix to connect with the highly affluent buyers.

Nov 20, 2008

By Jim Walberg of Caribbean Islands Realty Every charter yacht attending this Boat Show is quietly saying, “Pick me as your favorite charter yacht to promote to your charter guests who book vacations this next season!” Whether you hear those words this week or not, that is the reason why every detail has been attended to on each yacht so it is presented in it’s best possible condition. And you will notice that the crews look very sharp in their charter yacht “uniforms”. Some of the crews are new to this game called “a Boat Show”. So, VICL Director Erik and your Board of Directors took the time to provide each of the crews a suggested action list in preparation for a successful Boat Show. Randy and Shelly from Three Moons just passed this list on to me for your enjoyment. You will not believe what each of the crews have gone through to make sure their yacht sparkles and shines. Here is the crew’s suggested action list.
