Here you’ll learn the difference between the primary lure, complementary activities, and amenities. This will dramatically increase your marketing effectiveness.

See them in actual ads, and judge for yourself!

20:16 - If you’re trying to attract people to your community or downtown, you MUST promote your “anchor tenants,” and everyone will benefit. People want help, not just lists of what you have.
