INTUITION To Track Online Behavior Of Timeshare Owners In New Study

(TRAVPR.COM) FL - April 7th, 2014 - Perspective Group’s INTUITION Brand Marketing service, through its custom enterprise-level social media monitoring platform, will track and analyze large amounts of online conversations by US based timeshare owners on behalf of the National Timeshare Owners Association (NTOA).

The NTOA, who already uses INTUITION to increase its own brand awareness, will now harness more in depth features of the service to provide a study that will detail the most commonly discussed topics by timeshare owners. The study will track the balance between positive and negative conversations, listing the main causes of complaints, the most praised attributes and most talked about topics. Then through detailed analysis, outline the geographical origins (by state, city etc.) of the majority of those mentions. The report will also determine the most common websites used to discuss timeshare ownership, and the rise and fall in volume on each of these websites over a specified period to show shifts in trends and activity. A publishing date for the report will be announced in due course.

The National Timeshare Owners Association is the premier association representing timeshare owners across the United States. It proactively seeks opportunities to promote the timeshare industry’s continued growth and positive public image, while giving a united voice to the nearly 8 million timeshare owners in the United States.

“Being able to access this level of information about current consumer trends and emotions is both incredible and invaluable to the NTOA and its members. We plan to provide a factual document from real time data that will help us understand, as an industry, how we can improve upon our products and services, while also better understanding the up-to-the-minute concerns, desires and levels of product knowledge of timeshare owners,” says Gregory Crist, Chairman & CEO, National Timeshare Owners Association.

“There has never been a report of this kind created before, which documents the power and influence of social media through the use of technology that we now have available to us,” says Paul Mattimoe, President & CEO, Perspective Group. “Our INTUITION service has many implementations, and we are pleased to be able to utilize its monitoring service to provide NTOA with highly detailed information that can help them educate industry professionals and timeshare owners”.

This report will cover consumers within the United States on behalf of NTOA, with other reports already confirmed for several other locations. Depending upon the volume of data, a global report may also be produced by INTUITION.
