INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL FORMS ALLIANCE
WITH ROBB & STUCKY RESORTS
Offers developer clients one-stop design and purchasing services
MIAMI, FL, September 4, 2009 — Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services, announced it has formed an alliance with Robb & Stucky Resorts, a division of Ft. Myers, Florida-based Robb & Stucky Interiors. The highly acclaimed interior design and furnishings firm now will make its one-stop shopping and turnkey design services available to Interval International member resorts.
This is the newest benefit in Interval’s Interval Affiliate Advantage program, a collection of value-driven products and services offered exclusively to Interval member resorts to enhance marketing and sales efforts and to improve operational efficiencies.
“The alliance with Robb & Stucky will give our developer clients and homeowners associations access to an exceptional level of service and value,” said David Gilbert, Interval’s executive vice president of resort sales and marketing. “We are confident that resorts that take advantage of Robb & Stucky’s design and marketing services will be very satisfied with the process and the results.”
One of the largest privately held residential design firms in the country, Robb & Stucky manufactures, warehouses, delivers, and installs all of its own products. “Because of our vertical integration, we can save developers time, money, and headaches,” said Dan Lubner, president of Robb & Stucky Resorts. “At the same time, we’re giving them access to a better-quality product than what has been previously available.”
The company also maintains an active database of more than 2.5 million consumers, as well as real estate and design professionals, and receives 75,000 visits to its Web site daily. Its in-house public relations and marketing agency allows Robb & Stucky to conduct awareness campaigns for developers, host in-store events, feature selected properties on its Web site, and more.
“Our national presence and affluent client base create the perfect opportunity for developers to tap into the right clientele and build brand identity,” Lubner added. “This can result in leads and sales.”
Robb & Stucky offers attractive incentives to Interval member resorts that engage its services, including a complimentary review of current or proposed furniture, fixture, and equipment selections. If contracted to assist on new projects or refurbishments at resorts with more than 25 units, clients can receive at no charge two computer perspectives; clients with resorts comprising 50 units or more are eligible to have free customized rack brochures produced for their sales center. For clients who have projects with more than 100 units, Robb & Stucky will create a complimentary customized presentation book.
