SellMyTimeshareNow.com’s Timeshare Resale and Rental Marketplace Produces Strong Performance In 2020

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SellMyTimeshareNow.com («SMTN» or the «Company»), the world’s most active online marketplace for timeshares for sale and for rent by owner, celebrates the strength of its timeshare resale and rental platform in the midst of a challenging year for the travel…

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SellMyTimeshareNow.com («SMTN» or the «Company»), the world’s most active online marketplace for timeshares for sale and for rent by owner, celebrates the strength of its timeshare resale and rental platform in the midst of a challenging year for the travel industry. In 2020, the Company drove more than 3.4 million visits to its family of websites, resulting in over 36,700 offers—totaling more than $170 million—to buy or rent timeshares on SellMyTimeshareNow.com. The Company has delivered nearly double the purchase and rental offer value of its next closest competitor’s published offers over the past two years and more than $4.8 billion in offers to buy or rent timeshares advertised on its platform since it was founded in 2003.

SMTN has produced more than $4.8 billion in offers to buy or rent timeshares advertised on its platform since 2003.

«Last year showed us the resiliency of the timeshare resale market, of our customers, and of the vacation ownership product as a whole,» said Chad Newbold, CEO of SMTN and its parent company, Vacation Innovations. «Timeshare owners need a viable solution to help them transition out of their ownership when the time is right, or to offset the costs of ownership through rental, and we’re proud to offer an advertising and marketing platform specifically designed to help them do that.»

SMTN added nearly 10,000 new subscribers to its platform and completed nearly 9,000 timeshare sales over the past 12 months and expects this momentum to continue in 2021. To help drive interest during a decline in travel spending across the industry, the Company leveraged its expertise in advanced digital marketing strategies to connect with buyers planning for future vacations and emphasized reengagement with previous buyers and renters. The Company also added staff across all departments to further support the brand’s growth.

Focusing on adding more value and utility for subscribers, the Company launched SMTN Loyalty, a new members-only travel portal that provides subscribers ongoing access to below-OTA rates on travel including timeshare resort weeks, hotels, cruises, airfare, car rentals, and more, even after the subscriber’s timeshare sells. Looking to 2021, the Company will include SMTN Loyalty as a free benefit to all owner subscribers, and offer a complimentary week-long stay in Mexico, providing subscribers up to 12 months to redeem and travel.

Beyond resale, in 2020 SellMyTimeshareNow.com launched the world’s largest point-and-click timeshare rental platform, featuring the most inventory and the only 100-percent reservation guarantee in the industry. With thousands of verified rentals at resorts around the world—more than four times most competitors—each booking is truly instant. Rather than waiting for a timeshare owner to confirm their reservation, travelers who book through SMTN receive instant confirmation of their rental booking. The Company has been the leader in timeshare rental for more than a decade and is focused on further expanding its resort rental offerings through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

«For anyone looking to experience the benefits of a timeshare resort vacation, rental is a great way to test out this style of travel. We’ve found that many customers use our rental platform to explore what vacation ownership has to offer before considering a purchase,» Newbold added. «Timeshare resorts have always been desirable, both to renters and buyers, for their spectacular amenities, in-unit kitchens, and generally larger accommodations. Providing ample opportunity for social distancing, and coupled with increased cleanliness protocols, these resorts are well-equipped to provide a safe and enjoyable stay.»

The timeshare industry is operating in a unique environment, with major developers reporting marked increases in sales for Q3 2020 as they recovered from a standstill in Q2. With the recent rollout of several new vaccines for COVID-19, as well as the resiliency of drive-to markets such as Orlando and Las Vegas, the recovery for the timeshare industry is underway.

Looking ahead to 2021, the Company shares the optimism of major timeshare developers that the travel sector will steadily return to normal, and that traveler activity, including among individuals looking to rent, buy, and sell timeshare on the secondary market, will continue to rise.

About SellMyTimeshareNow.com
Founded in 2003, SellMyTimeshareNow.com (sellmytimesharenow.com) is the world’s most active online marketplace for the purchase and rental of timeshare interests. A subsidiary of Vacation Innovations, SellMyTimeshareNow.com leverages advanced search engine optimization and other digital marketing strategies to maintain its position as a top-ranking global marketplace for timeshare resales and rentals, attracting over 2.8 million visits and over $219 million in purchase and rental offers to advertisers annually.

FASTSIGNS® Ranked #1 In Category on Annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500 List for Fifth Consecutive Year

CARROLLTON, Texas, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, announced today it has been ranked the #1 franchise opportunity in its category in Entrepreneur magazine’s…

CARROLLTON, Texas, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, announced today it has been ranked the #1 franchise opportunity in its category in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500® for the fifth consecutive year. Recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, the Franchise 500® ranks FASTSIGNS as #44 overall — the only sign, graphics, and visual communications franchise to be recognized in the top 100 — for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

«We are incredibly proud to once again be the #1 franchise opportunity in the sign, graphics, and visual communications sector. After such an unprecedented year with so much uncertainty, our business model continued to show its resiliency and FASTSIGNS emerged strong and poised for growth in 2021,» said Mark Jameson, Chief Support and Development Officer, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. «This recognition is proof of our outstanding international network of franchisees and their commitment to serving their communities as well as our exceptional franchise support team that worked around the clock to help the system succeed.»

Fastsigns Holdings Inc., parent company of FASTSIGNS, reported a strong year of growth amid the pandemic, most notably making its first acquisition with the addition of NerdsToGo, an emerging IT services brand, to its portfolio. Additionally, FASTSIGNS signed 31 franchise agreements to develop new, co-branded, and conversion centers worldwide and the opening of 30 locations, including the brand’s first center in the Dominican Republic. Much of FASTSIGNS’ success in 2020 can be credited to centers being deemed essential businesses, allowing franchisees to pivot their services to focus on what matters most — serving their customers.

This year, Fastsigns Holdings Inc. aims to sell 30 NerdsToGo franchises nationwide as part of its plans to grow the brand’s presence in new and existing markets. FASTSIGNS is aiming to sign at least 35 franchise agreements across the U.S. in markets such as Southern California, the Midwest, New England, and along the Northeast Corridor. FASTSIGNS is particularly focusing on its co-brand and conversion programs, which helps existing business owners add a FASTSIGNS to their store or fully convert their business to a FASTSIGNS franchise. FASTSIGNS has helped countless owners of print shops, photography studios, camera stores, embroidery shops, and more, diversify their product lines and services to meet the growing demand for signs, graphics, and visual communications. Both the co-brand franchise opportunity and conversion can be started with only $15,000 down on the initial franchise fee.

«I spent over 30 years as the owner of an independent sign shop before converting my business into a FASTSIGNS franchise in 2016,» said Jeffrey Chudoff, a FASTSIGNS franchisee in Maple Shade, New Jersey. «I could not imagine what it would have been like to operate during the pandemic without the support of FASTSIGNS and our network of franchisees. While so many small businesses struggled or closed their doors permanently, we exceeded $1 million in revenue for the first time. I was truly in business for myself, but not by myself.»

FASTSIGNS is known in the industry for equipping its franchisees with tools vital to securing the ongoing success of each individual location. In addition to the brand’s online FASTSIGNS University, FASTSIGNS partners with 1HUDDLE, a workforce-training platform that converts unique training content into science-backed, quick-burst training games that are proven to accelerate workforce productivity.

FASTSIGNS also offers a special incentive for first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, which includes a 50% reduction on the franchise fee — a savings of $24,875.

FASTSIGNS is consistently ranked as a top franchise opportunity. In 2020, Entrepreneur magazine named FASTSIGNS a Top Growth Franchise and one of the Top Franchises for Veterans. Additionally, FASTSIGNS was ranked on Franchise Times’ annual Top 200+ list, Franchise Gator recognized the brand as one of its Top 100 Franchises of 2020, Franchise Direct named FASTSIGNS one of the Top 100 Global Franchises, and Franchise Business Review named FASTSIGNS one of its Top Franchises for Second Careers and Top Franchises for Veterans. In 2019, the brand was named to America’s Best Franchises to Buy list by Forbes magazine. Franchise Business Review has also recognized FASTSIGNS as one of the «Best of the Best» for franchisee satisfaction for the last 10 years, as well as one of its Top 50 Franchises for Women and Top Service Franchises lists in 2019. FASTSIGNS has also received the Canadian Franchise Association Franchisees’ Choice for eight consecutive years.

DALLAS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life by Kevin Kirksey shares the emotional story of Kirksey’s near-death experience, having had no prior signs, symptoms, or warnings of being in trouble, and the lessons he learned upon his survival. Life 2.0 aims to save and extend others’ lives while providing individuals with a new perspective on life and a deeper appreciation of the little things that can profoundly change the course of one’s life.

After asking his doctor a simple question, which later proves to save Kirksey’s life, he takes a simple test which showed that he was at extremely high risk of a near term highly probable fatal cardiac event or stroke. Kevin Kirksey immediately came face to face with his mortality, accepting the reality that severe cardiac disease threatened to take his life in the immediate short term. Following open-heart surgery, due to his observations of many little things that were done for him, he began down a road of profound physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life follows Kirksey’s experiences during this trying time, encouraging motivated individuals to examine their own lives as well.

Life 2.0 examines Kirksey’s journey through recovery and beyond, touching on how caregivers’ selflessness inspired him to consider living a different life, one he never imagined possible. Through this candid, heartwarming story, Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life will serve as an inspiration for healthcare workers, patients, and their families, as well as anyone who has found themselves amid a life-changing experience. Kevin Kirksey hopes that his story will remind men and women of the virtues in life that truly make it worth living.

Praise for Kevin Kirksey and «Life 2.0 – A Journey From Near Death to New Life»

«Life 2.0 is an incredible account of one man’s stark recognition of his mortality and the beautiful path to health and the new life he experiences. Not since Steven Levine’s «A Year to Live» have I read a more moving account of how a brush with death can be a lesson to live more fully. Kevin shows us the preciousness of life that we sometimes take for granted and how to continue this amazing journey of life with a newfound faith and love for those we encounter.»

—  Michael Conley, San Francisco, California

«Life 2.0 is a call to move forward with our lives, bringing the best of our past with hope for the future and humanity. Mr. Kirksey came to his Life 2.0 through a life-altering illness and long rehabilitation. Still, he notes that all of us can access Life 2,0 by examining our hearts and asking ourselves those all-important questions regarding our purpose on Earth and what matters most. It is an important work that challenges the reader to live a richer, more meaningful life.»

—  Dr. Kimberly Townsend, Syracuse, NY

«Kevin’s story is a true inspiration and brought me to tears at points. What he’s gone through some would call luck, others would call a miracle. Regardless of what you would call it one thing is certain: it’s a pretty incredible story. When it’s all over, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be rethinking your health and planning your own v.2.0.»

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — BOLT «Breakthrough One-Key Lock Technology» Lock has expanded its product line with a new swivel Locking Recovery Hook. 

Manufactured from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the new BOLT Locking Recovery Hook has a 10,000 lb. capacity and is designed to be 99-percent faster than other ¾-inch shackle type hooks due to the product’s unique latching mechanism. The top portion does not need to be unscrewed in order to loop the tow strap; the tow strap simply slides easily into place over the hook.  It fits standard 7/8″ bumper tabs, winches and recovery straps.

The BOLT lock cylinder is located on the hook itself, which prevents the pin used to attach the hook to the vehicle from moving freely when locked in order to protect the product from theft. 

BOLT Locks are permanently programmed to the vehicle’s ignition key the first time the key is inserted into the BOLT cylinder.  When the ignition key is inserted into the BOLT cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down to uniquely code the cylinder to that specific key.

The new BOLT swivel Locking Recovery Hook weighs 3.5 lbs. and has an MSRP of $259.99.

«Off-road enthusiasts finding the need to winch themselves or their friends from precarious predicaments will appreciate the convenient security of our lock technology that uses just one key, the vehicle’s ignition key, to secure our hook to the bumper,» explained Jason Buckles, sales manager for BOLT Lock.  «We are excited to partner with Monster Hooks Inc. to bring this product to market.  Monster Hooks is known for their robust design and superior quality that ensures their customers will enjoy many years of rugged use.  We are proud to incorporate our innovative technology into this high-quality product.»

However, high cost related to engineering services is likely to restraint the market.

By application, body & chassis segment is anticipated to grow at the significant rate during the forecast period, owing to the high preference for light-weight chassis that result in lesser fuel emission. In addition, manufacturers are emphasizing on adhering to the norms related to a low emission, which, in turn, is driving the growth of this segment. Further, the growing focus on safety feature in vehicles is driving the demand for body and chassis segment. Moreover, increasing emphasis on the safety of vehicle structure is expected to fuel the demand for chassis systems over the next seven years.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Get ready to become the next trick shot superstar: Alley Hoopster – The Sick Shot Trick Shot Kit launches today on Kickstarter. The kit includes everything you need to create your own mind-bending, viral trick shots: a power-adjustable ball launcher, two angled backboards, a strap-in shot booster, a go-anywhere hoop, and jumbo ping-pong balls, all specially designed and tested for maximum bounciness and consistency.

Over the last year, a team of trick-shot scientists has been working with social media superstar TJass to develop and perfect the most epic trick shot kit possible, and now, they need your help bringing the final product to market.

For those not in the know, Tristan «TJass» Jass went viral in 2017 when he defeated his high school teacher in a game of one-on-one basketball. Since then, he has grown a massive following on social media for his incomparable trick shots and has become a respected influencer in the world of basketball.

Alley Hoopster is the brainchild of Scott Brown, Tim Swindle, and Thad Wong: a group of fun-loving entrepreneurs with a collective 50 years of bringing exciting products to life. The team and TJass have partnered with a world-class toy and game manufacturer, as well as a premier logistics company, so all the pieces are coming together—high quality and quick delivery will be no issue. But, it’s more about having fun than anything else.

«We think anybody could have a great time with this product,» Tim said from his Chicago home while sinking an impressive trick shot. «It’s a great game for kids, sure. But look at me—I’m having a blast over here.»

The funding goal is an ambitious $15,000 and will run from January 19 – February 12. The game will retail for $49 but is available to Kickstarter supporters starting at $34 plus shipping. Additional reward tiers include a copy of the game autographed by TJass himself, a chance to have your own trick shots featured on his social media channels, and a personal video call with TJass for you and your friends.

For more information, visit their Kickstarter page, where you can find videos of TJass working his magic using the trick shot kit, as well as information on the design process.

DETROIT, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On February 11, 2021, reference publisher Omnigraphics will release its new diversity title, the resource guide Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America, edited by Jamie Maniloff.

Designed to serve as a resource guide, expanding upon, and increasing access to diversity content in libraries, schools, and in the workplace, Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America covers the history, social movements and progression of systemic discrimination and racism in America, while providing important information directly addressing these issues today.

«As a resource guide it is easy to navigate, with key links to organizations, local and national support groups, and government agencies to help readers identify, report, and manage discrimination,» says editor Jamie Maniloff.

«It is a must-have resource for any library,» says Shauntee Burns-Simpson, President, Black Caucus of the American Library Association. «In order to move forward from the ugly effects of racism, we as a society have to look back, see how we got here, and purposely make changes to move forward. This book uncovers the constraints that People of Color experience and provides information to support the ongoing change needed in our country.»

Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America explores the psychology behind discrimination and its impact on physical, mental, psychological, and social wellbeing. The book covers how presidential administrations throughout U.S. history, from Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump, have affected racism, and how significant historical events and empowerment movements like the Civil Rights Act, Women’s Suffrage, the surge of Islamophobia after the 911 terrorist attacks, Black Lives Matter (BLM), Me Too (#metoo), and more, have brought us to where we are today.

«Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America is an incisive exploration of strategies to combat and conquer discrimination,» says Kelvin Watson, Director of Broward County Libraries. «It is the right book, at the right time.»
