According to Ed Kinney of Marriott Vacation Club, "Customers arriving recently are more educated about the timeshare product and the timeshare industry than they used to be". Also mentioned was the fact that many new timeshare buyers come by referral rather than promotional means, which is a definite change than the way buyers used to be attracted.

If you are a timeshare owner, tell us how you were attracted to the timeshare presentation. Was it by promotional means, referral or another way?
