                in Luxury Courtesy of The Shores @ The
                Ocean  It’s
                    hard to find someone who doesn’t love to vacation by the
                    ocean. Something about the long stretches of sandy beach
                    and the crashing of the waves makes us feel like we have
                    truly escaped from the day to day grind  we experience
                    every day. Many people journey to the coasts of our nation
                    so frequently that they discover it makes sense for them
                  to purchase a vacation home.  Oceanfront real estate
                    is precious, so not many folks can afford to own
                    the ideal beachfront property and often settle for
                    something that is a “short
                    walk” to the beach, or simply
                      has an ocean view. There is also the trouble of maintaining
                      the property when they aren’t there. Who wants 
                    to vacuum and mow the lawn before they can begin to enjoy
                  their holiday?  The
                      Shores offers an amazing
                    solution to this problem through fractional
                    ownership. For the price of that little “ocean view”
                    vacation home The Shores fractional ownership program gives
                    people the chance to vacation in real luxury, creating a
                  vacation experience that goes far beyond their expectations.  Our role 
                    is to help The Shores get the word out
                    to  prospective buyers in such a way that they will
                    see the benefits of purchasing a vacation home in this
                    way. As you might imagine, the photography is an essential
                    part of this process. It is one thing to describe luxury,
                    and it is another thing altogether to be able to see the
                    view from the living room of one of these beautifully
                    decorated homes. This was one of the cases where photography
                    did not yet exist, so off to the beach we went. One of the
                    challenges of photography on the Oregon coast is weather,
                    so several of our trips to take more pictures or video
                    started with a phone call alerting us that the sun
                    was out. Time to drop everything and head to the beach. In
                    retrospect, that wasn't an entirely unpleasant proposition. We’ve developed
                    many of the usual print materials for The
                    Shores, as well as their website, but some of the more unique
                    pieces include video walkthroughs of the properties, along
                    with DVD slideshows. When a potential buyer calls up with
                    more questions about one of the properties, a DVD can be
                    mailed that will give them the chance to get a complete view
                    of what the home looks like, which is especially helpful
                    if they don't have an opportunity to tour it in person right
                    away. Another frequent item for The Shores is ad placement.
                    As fractions
                    become available for individual homes we build ads to go
                    in various real estate periodicals.                    It is a real treat to create materials
                    that compliment these gorgeous homes. Be sure to visit www.theshores.info so
                    you can get all the details about their exciting program.
                    Who knows? Maybe you will find yourself sipping lemonade
                    on the porch of your multi-million dollar home sometime this
                    summer. Let us know when that is and we’ll stop by!
