The 2008 Timeshare/Resort Lot Trade Program at the Colonnade Resort in Branson, Missouri! We serve a dual function at the Colonnade. We get you out of resort, recreation, retirement property that you don’t need, can’t use, or can’t sell by purchasing your lot. We do this in our program.

We do not consider this a trade for several reasons:
1. Your lot is a vacant, unimproved lot.
2. Our vacation product is improved.
3. You may be able to reap certain tax incentives if this is not interpreted as a trade.
( Consult your professional tax adviser about this; we do not give advice about tax matters.)

Please consult your professional tax adviser !

Our main goal is to prove to you that what we offer you is better than what you own. You own a lot that you may have bought at an impulsive moment. We allow you a reasonable value for it when we price your lot and discount our timeshare. Location is the prime feature of real estate ownership. Vacation ownership/timeshare is a modern form of real estate that allows for the best vacation usage in the world through RCI. There are over 4,000 resorts in the RCI system.

Families and individuals use timeshare to enjoy quality, first class vacations for pennies on the dollar. Branson went from 7 million vacationers in 2001 to 8.5 
million in 2002. 

A few thoughts about 2008;
The outlook for tourism in Branson is very good. In 1996, Branson ranked as the 43^rd destination for tourism in the U.S. In 2000, it surpassed Washington , D.C. as the 16^th most popular destination in America. It is now rated as the 14^th prime vacation destination in the U.S.

We could spend a great deal of time discussing the billions of dollars being spent to make Branson the best wholesome tourism venue in the United States. Instead, check out www.BransonMissouri.com or BransonLanding.com..................That will give you an idea what a powerful tourism economy we have.
Beyond the facts you are about to read are the keys to why we should be a serious consideration if you are tied to a resort lot that is clinging to you like fly paper. We are a prime way to get your money back. Several examples: They are simple:

1.Branson is enjoying tremendous growth during a slow economy. 2.We have maintained our trade program prices to be your best option if you take vacations. 3.We have a 6 Night/ 7 Day Florida Vacation and Cruise certificate. This alone is worth over $ 1,500.

1. We make the best deal. We have comparative shopped. Find a better trade and let us know about it. We will consider matching it or bettering it. We’ll even give you the names and numbers of the 3 other companies that have tried to compete with us. They are not even close.

2. We deed you a timeshare that saves you a fortune on vacations. ( $ 1000 to $ 2000 each year, minimum each year in savings)

3. Ownership at the Colonnade is like a great long-term certificate of deposit.

Ok, that’s more than 25 words; but since it affects your economic life we went over.

We want to give you a product that, when all things are considered, doesn't cost you a dime to switch over to. It recovers the money you put into an impulsive purchase ( the lot) that was caused by your need for an easy profit item, (oh-honey, if we can make that kind of money, we are crazy, not to buy the lot) being pushed pretty good. Sound familiar?? Remember how the old time preachers used to say, " Can I get a witness?" We have almost 1,800 witnesses just like you. Why did they trade with us?

We had the best deal. Ever been upside down on a car note? That is where you might be on the lot. We are the one option that can get you right side up. Try us, you'll love our staff and what we can do for you.

A Simple Recap: We give you a market value credit for your lot. (We know that this much more than it is really worth) We show from $ 100 to $ 1,000 on the lot purchase contract depending upon the project. This may create some tax incentives or savings. You get a deeded week until 2035. At that time, the building reverts to joint tenancy. The Colonnade owners can decide whether to continue as a timeshare or sell. If the building sells for $ 20,000,000 then you or your heirs come out like a bandit. If the building continues as timeshare then you or your heirs still come out fine. The value above is hypothetical. It means if there are 3,000 owners divided by $ 20,000,000 that each owner would receive $ 6,667 plus 33 years of usage with a net retail value of $ 72,500 in vacations. Avg. Vacation = $ 2,500 x 33 years = $ 82,500 usage gain over 33 years plus $ 6,667 . You do the math. $ 82,500 + $ 6,1667 = $89,167 divided by your direct costs of the timeshare and the lot.

The above does not include the impact of quality vacations on your family.

This is a win-win situation. Nonetheless, your kids or grandkids, if they are smart and use the property well, might be appreciative, or remember this each year. Our trade program actually saves marriages or at least helps them get past what might have been a traumatic situation-- paying dues on the lot each month. Yes, when the husband or wife, whoever, pushed to make the trade with us are sitting on a beach, or a ski lift, or in a famous art gallery in Europe, etc., smiles at their partner, and says, “Isn’t this better than growing ticks, chiggers, snakes, etc. on a lot in (fill in the state) or subsidizing a bunch of old rich folks retirement. Purchasing by Mail. We are just like Sears and Wal-Mart used to be. We don't want to sell you an item you don't like. If you buy by mail, you have 365 days to come visit the Colonnade and get a 100% refund if you are not totally satisfied. You would also get a lot ( a piece of land where you originally traded) back.

Another Recap of what we can do: You are out of the lot and you pay us from$ 5,500 to $ 8,500 by check or credit card for the timeshare week. You have the option of getting $ 3-4,000 via tax rules. (This is solely up to your tax adviser; we know many lot owners who have lost a bit of their posterior on resort lots; we made them happy again) Now you are out the original cost less any recovery you might get through the tax process, except, we are giving you:

• 2008 Maintenance Fee $ 250

• RCI Initiation $ 200

• Closing Costs $ 200

• Filing Fees $ 150

• 2 Bonus Weeks $ 1,000

• A 6 Night / 7 Day Florida Vacation and Cruise certificate

• AND Your 2008 Vacation Week Free , worth from $ 1,500 to $ 4,000, based on how you us it.

The lot is gone and you own the Top Rated Timeshare in the World-- yes World. Condo's make for better vacations. Eat better, Sleep Better, More recreation, etc. Timeshare is form of real estate. Remember the Rule: Location, Location, and Location.

The Colonnade is in the Center of Branson!

Closing Thoughts:
We know many of you don't care much about owning timeshare in Branson. Remember, worldwide usage. 80% of our owners trade to other sites in the system. Branson ownership gets them good trades. It is like trading a pony for a race horse, EVEN.

Here are a few more reasons.
Branson is the only town of under 6,000 in America where over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in INFRASTRUCTURE has been invested in the last ten years. Only St. Louis collects more sales tax than Branson in Missouri; we passed Kansas City last year. Branson is the live entertainment capitol of the World with over 75 shows. We are located within 100,000 acres of BLUE WATER Lakes. SEVEN New Golf Courses.

Those are just a few reasons that 8.2 million tourists per year come to our little Ozark Village. We can help you do the math: Last Point: $ ________in dues and taxes X 10 years=$ ________ plus what you paid for the lot. Is this money wasted, if you are not building, or using the lot? You can turn this around with us don’t keep throwing money down the drain.

Branson with its location in the very heart of America is a good place to own timeshare. It is a good safe place to vacation. We are a good option if you own a lot. If you are afraid to fly, there are hundreds of great timeshare options within driving distance of your home.

Special 2008 Biannual Program We have found that many families want the bare minimum trade option. Many would like to trade EVEN on deficient lots; that cannot happen. We are not in business to lose money. We have solved this problem by adding some condo’s that you use every other year. It has developed in to a very popular program.

Red Weeks One Bedroom $ 2950
Two Bedroom $ 3750
Master Suite $ 4250
Above prices are based on the trade of an interior lot. Subject to change.

We do not sell white weeks on the above program. This is our “foot in the door program”. You may option to full time ownership within 24 months at the date of purchase.

Thanks for your time.
